Last Ten

Or maybe at least 16 of the 24 others!

I agree, a friend of mine lives in the constituency too and believes the Green Goddess is more interested in saving the planet and everyone buying an electric car rather than dealing with issues that are important to her constituents, which is ironic really she is a big supporter of the Steam Railway who can’t run without coal. I rest my case.

Nice find, you couldn’t make it up, the team of 10 went to work to play, what a total farcical Gov we have.

How do you know that?

That is exactly what is wrong with Government, masses of CS going to work to play! Daphne will be gone at the next general election so she's making the most of her climate idiocy.

No managerial leadership in every CS department, HR at IOM Gov are a disaster, just look how they recently overpaid Civil Servants 500K. Mrs Lord Brennan said she was looking into that one but it will no doubt be forgotten about! and No I am not a Civil Servant Lol.

As you asked the wrong person, here is my reply = No

Just read this article about a former Civil Servant challenging the Government for alleged numerous issues - https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/isle-of-man-civil-servants-claim-for-unlawful-deduction-of-wages-struck-out-687015 The problem lies directly in the IOM Civil Service, this bloke will have spent lots of his time at work conjuring up issues when he should have been actually working on behalf of us the tax payer, where were his line managers ensuring he was working for the good of the IOM? Not fit for purpose springs to mind, but hey ho it’s us Tax Payers that pay for some of these lunatics that work for the IOM Government. As a point of clarity not all Civil Servants are like this deluded individual. LT

I have deleted them from my bookmarks and never look at their crap, worst local news around.

Exactly, a lot of Corpy staff were hand picked to attend, the ones that could at least iron a shirt etc.

There were more IOM and UK Police than there were supporters.

The geezer will do 4 months of his 8 so he will be out mid July and back to his idiocies. He won’t change, he is an habitual so will no doubt be in the limelight again before the summer is out.

Listening and looking at all the threads of late with regards to the issues with our Chief Minister, MHK’s and MLC’s is it not time we looked at a shorter General Election period from the current five year term to a more sustainable maybe three year period? I just feel of late we the public have very little say mid five year term and if it was shortened we have the ability to get shut of the riff-raff a bit quicker? Debate!

Mrs Poole-Wilson is a very astute lady and probably cleverer than most in there, unfortunately she is very, very politically correct and I am sure this would slow things even more than what we see in Manx Politics today. I can only hope that there is a new and up and coming set of bright candidates on the horizon, that’s the only hope we really have at present, let’s ride this next 2 years and hope for a brighter future!!!

That will be the next desperation grab!

I bet this whole situation has arisen by some new fresh faced civil servant who has found some legislation which could earn our failing government a few bob. He/she will no doubt be praised by the woke civil service managers (and there are lots of them) for coming up with such a great idea. Meanwhile Jo Public are getting shafted yet again. Time for Alf to get tough… Hang on a minute….🤔

And how often do you find loss leaders with other outlets on the Isle of Man? Not many, so bring it on Tesco.

Very much more expensive. Total H&B piss take.

Can’t wait for Tesco to come here! Hovis thick sliced bread yesterday at Tesco £1.39 Hovis thick sliced bread in the robbing Spar shops £2.05 That difference is best in my pocket so Tesco will be a welcome to my family.

Can’t wait for Tesco Mobile to come and get shut of the 2 shafters!

Thanks Gladys The radio reports says this: “A social media post by the Isle of Man Constabulary's Roads Policing Unit which has been described by the Manx force as 'unacceptable' has been referred to the police's professional standards department.” If I am reading this correctly that’s an internal section of the Police, in other words in-house!? (I may be totally wrong). So I wonder if the Police Complaints Commissioner has or should be involved? https://www.gov.im/categories/home-and-neighbourhood/police-complaints-commissioner/ Maybe @Derek Flint could tell us?

I wonder if this error of judgement has been reported to the Isle of Man Police Complaints Commissioner? https://www.gov.im/categories/home-and-neighbourhood/police-complaints-commissioner/

I sort of agree with what you are saying Derek but it’s Constabulary overload, let’s keep it simple and not overload the party of Social Media, this little issue has highlighted that the accounts need streamlining and a stricter corporate approach needs to be adopted, if not these scenarios will rumble on and on and the boys and girls in blue will continue to be challenged in each section they represent.

Just looking at Facebook why are there so many Isle of Man Constabulary FB pages? Dog unit, Road Policing unit, Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western Pages, and the main IOM Constabulary Page, possibly others FFS who on earth can keep a rick on these cops posting whatever they want, a Social Media review is needed to consolidate this lot.

Have we got a new Chief Constable and if so can you remind me who he/she is? I am sure Mrs Poole-Wilson the Minister for the Department of Home Affairs will also not be happy with these Social Media remarks/comments as she is the most politically correct person in the whole world. Little Dan will no doubt be leading the investigation and possibly cock the whole thing up again.
