You clearly do not have a vagina or even know anyone else close enough who has one.

I understand where you're coming from but I disagree that free period products from school should only be available to those who can't afford them. They should be free to whoever needs them in that moment. Have you never been caught short by an unexpected/early/late period? In the age groups that high schools are dealing with (and more often these days, primary schools), the girls are also having their first period and have no idea it's coming. Free period products at school shouldn't just be available to those who can prove they're poor. It should be for those who are unprepared, didn't know, or just need help on that one day.

That's him. He was giving CH "legal advice" during his trial. Not very good advice given the outcome.

I have reason to believe that the person currently in control of Courtenay Heading's twitter account is not his wife but a friend of CH called "John Patrick Cleary" who seems to be the UK-based puppet master behind CH's delusions.

It's 2024, not 1824. To be seen doing something on social media is better than to read that a question was asked last week in Tynwald.

They weren't there today. But that doesn't mean they won't be there in future. However, without a leader they may be lost.

You got me. Tires. Tyres. The rubber things that cover the metal thing that rotate to make the bigger thing go forward 😂

He was given a written warning by the police in November 2022. He ignored it for a month and then sent a "two fingers up" email back to the Police in December 2022 saying he was going to "air and share" on Twitter instead. Which he did. Extensively. To the point where I had to install a security system and alarms whilst also dealing with a baby born Feb 23.

Which law/act? I'm still none-the-wiser here. Happy to tell Michelle she might have broken the law in doing so but you really do need to specify the laws instead of just saying it's an offense. Could an accident have been caused if a car drove over a daffodil? What would a daffodil collision result in? Cats are pretty crap at jumping out in the road. Is a daffodil worse than a bolting cat? Are people prosecuted for hitting a cat? Should people be prosecuted for hitting a daffodil?

How do flowers do that? Surely they just get flattened under tires. Tires that dip into those holes and the tracking that gets screwed up as a consequence? Honestly, planting some flowers in the holes to highlight a problem isn't the problem here. It's the DOI not having sorted or maintained the road over the last few years. Trash the DOI, Albert.

Which law? I'm looking forward to her geraniums brightening up the road if it hasn't been resurfaced later this year. We seem to be able to find the money to resurface bits and pieces of the TT Course but little else. My road took 2 years to fill the pot holes after I reported it to Onchan Commissioners.

I've been a bit reticent in replying to this thread, for obvious reasons. However, it's fair to say that the press only reported on about 1% of the evidence provided to the Courts (tbf they have a word limit!). The evidence submitted to the court by the prosecution during the trial in January 2024 covered almost 7 YEARS worth of online harassment. CH's behaviour during his sentencing hearing was abhorrent. He was guilty and he saw his sentencing as his appeal hearing, and he subsequently caused enough trouble that he was at one point threatened with physical re-location to the dock by the High Bailiff, and at a later time in proceedings threatened with physical re-location to the cells. I and a police officer had to sit amongst 6 of his T-shirt-clad acolytes in the viewing area. I'm not sure any of them knew I was there nor recognised me as the victim, which is telling as to their blind ability to follow CH regardless of his impact upon others. They were also vocal in their dislike of the proceedings. Many thanks to the police, prosecution and judiciary in this case. Today I went to Ramsey. I had a lovely walk with the baby around the harbour, shops and main street. I bought some eggs at the farmers market. It's been almost four years since I was able to do that without fear of being abused in the street by CH.

Good on her. It's a creative way of demonstrating the problem at hand.

I know. I fixed it pretty much immediately because it didn't "look right". Had to google it an everything. Not every day that you have to use that word these days. Says a lot really.

Proof that misogyny still exists in 2024. "It's a personality clash", "it would be different if they were men". Jesus Christ. It's 2024. These views should have been discarded half a century ago.

The Manxman's webcam is still live. It's a bit choppy out there: https://www.steam-packet.com/blog/manxman-voyage/

Not at all. However, you appear to be a first class coward who creates accounts to abuse people. Would love to have the mods do an analysis of the IPs and emails that you're using to set these accounts up.

Oh look, another one.

I hate to burst @claude123's victim-blaming bubble but I didn't ask IoM Newspapers to take down the comments. Yet another account created with the sole job of trying to smear me 🤷‍♀️ You have to wonder what goes through their heads when they decide create accounts to do that. On some level they must genuinely think it's an OK thing to do.

Indeed. Predictable given Mr. Heading's following.

There have been plenty of tears today. Most of them utter relief at being vindicated and believed after almost four years of crap.

Personally, I found the finding of the Review that The [shredded] Letter had been "staged" was far more interesting (pg 1489 of the main doc if you're interested). He tries to get out of saying "who" wrote it in his transcribed evidence too. Even when the Review offer to talk to whoever wrote it in absolute confidence to protect their identity (pg 161 of Mr Ashfords verbal transcript). You should probably read my written evidence (it's only 27k words) starting at page 926 of the interview transcripts documents. Might open your eyes a little more regarding my involvement.

Yes, I did. Knew exactly who it was and reported it appropriately to the police whenever it occurred to make sure the electronic evidence was captured. I'm expecting them to start up again once the COVID Review is published as I appear to be one of their fixations. And then there's Courtenay who is a whole separate issue entirely.

I'm a fan of occam's razor too but if my SAR was anything to go by this forum is watched very closely. The number of emails I saw from the press office to various people saying "have you seen this?" was more than I expected. I imagine the monitoring is helped by the fact that it's readable to anyone without an account and is indexed by Google.

You're incredibly naive. Here's an example. A few weeks ago a poster called Dr. Grumpy posted this: Now, clearly Dr Grumpy is another one who knows exactly how this forum is watched by IoM Government. He/She dropped some pertinant information that they clearly knew the answer to in order to send the press office into a bit of a spin. It's faster than a FOI because then this article from Manx Radio appeared less than two weeks later. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/manx-care-md-currently-working-in-liverpool/ Must be absolutely 100% unrelated if you're the kind of person who is insignificant enough in their daily life to think that everyone else is too. There are many accounts on this site like Dr. Grumpy. They drop the info, watch to see what happens, and wait for their next opportunity to drop a nugget of info on an Island which does not have any invesigative journalism capacity to send the information to instead. Anyone who thinks that this forum isn't used by the great and the good to get to the bottom of things, break things open, point the press in the right direction and stir up a fuss in certain circles, is as naive as @Cueey Lewis And The News
