  1. you're on to something here. The Brigade aint getting sent to many fires any more.
  2. Gambling isn't a reliable/safe industry to build your economy on. Who'd a thunk it?
  3. Freemasonry probably has nothing to do with this. Nothing whatsoever.
  4. Just when you think that this inept Government couldn't be more out of touch, they pull another money wasting stunt out of the bag. There is no money to do the basics. This is complete and utter nonsense.
  5. Manx public needs to wake up to this sad circus. We can't afford dinosaurs like this to operate.
  6. Tynwald members still giving themselves free parking? 100's of Gov vehicles been taken home at night on the grounds that they may be needed on call? Shopping days, unlimited laziness etc etc etc. Just give up.
  7. Compliments our excellent 3G service.
  8. That patching job says it all. Not fit for purpose and demonstrates the sheer arrogance of these people.
  9. Must be good for Peel? https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/peel-promenade-community-hub-proposals-rejected/
  10. Chances are; many of the valid contributors on MF are civil servants or have business contracts with Government and hence remain anonymous. It reflects the culture of government that forums and such commentary like this exist.
  11. Wasn't there a jolly to Iceland in the last year or so? Has that been hidden?
  12. If you could sum up the uselessness of the Isle of Man Government framework in one example, this is it.
  13. After negotiating the unkempt coastal footpaths, why not treat yourself to the complete let down of another 'closed' sign?
  14. If he'd stolen a police car, impersonated a chief inspector by borrowing an official uniform, harassed a women plus other pecadillos involving drink, he'd have been let off. (Fact)
  15. What about dash cams on cars and vans? There must be thousands of them on the Island.
  16. Any new CM must be from outside COMIN. The protection of top level CS and AG Chambers is a big part of why this Island is in decline.
  17. The 'opposition' is made of characters who, you could argue haven't achieved much in their non political life. Being elected has given status and financial security. It's highly improbable that any of them have the nerve to call a realistic challenge, let alone unify a core of dissenters.
  18. Didn't DC have a hand in changing the rules in ousting the CM?
  19. Budget day tomorrow and the Minister is declaring some difficult decisions have to be made. Healthcare and education are in the firing line. Where will MR £1m subvention fit?
  20. Clever people choose to live in better weather and enjoy plenty of bars and restaurants. This place can't even be arsed to organise a plan for a bus station.
  21. Alf said the Government headcount must be reduced. Not happened! Simple measure to cut Government spending would be to terminate all CS/PS jobs that are filled by 'double dippers' who have 'retired' and returned to 'work' in Government. (Avoid any essential medical roles) Lose these extras and just get on with the consequences. Cuts have to be made.
  22. Did the police get involved in this at all? Stuff changed, went missing, fabrication, dishonesty. That kind of thing.
  23. Anyone pull up the report when Tim Glover (MHK) tells us about being hounded as a news editor by officials?
  24. The campaign via DHA to convince us that a 'border force' is sinister and straight out of the playbook that saw the draconian policy during Covid.
