Uhtred Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Snowflake - like many contributors to these various election threads I'm slagging off candidates in various constituencies, where I think the slagging is merited. I think you'll find that there is no requirement for postings to confine remarks to the constituency where the contributor resides and votes. As such, I'll be continuing my pan-constituency slagging policy despite it seeming to confuse and worry you. As to the apology you appear to be expecting, I'm pleased to learn of your patience. It will need to be inexhaustible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxman8180 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 It appears Martin Moore has withdrawn from the election. Struggled to get the 20 assentors required? Or too busy with Karaoke bookings? Anyway, I don't think we have lost a political heavyweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Well at least he tried, is a shame if he could not get 20 signatures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilligaf Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Well at least he tried, is a shame if he could not get 20 signatures... I'm sure he'll earn more as a Taxi Driver anyway for less hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having heard him sing, cant see it being the kareoke!!! But still, having spoke to him, he had a few good ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomonkey Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 According to http://www.manxradio.com/newsread.aspx?id=54620 he couldn't verify two of his backers. Surely you would have made sure these details were correct? It's only twenty people, if you've any hope of being elected you must know at least twenty people. All seems rather odd to me and it would appear he only has himself to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxman8180 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Yes, he wanted to be elected to a position where he could put scrutiny on Government and study proposed legislation and capital projects in great detail to ensure openess and accountability. Yet, he couldn't make sure that his fucking nomination paperwork was correctly completed? What a dick. Stick to driving his family's taxi me thinks. P.S. I actually had a look at his website after he 'withdrew'. He sounds like an incredibly angry young man. I get a picture of him sitting at home in his Mum's house furiously typing and shouting at his computer screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I'm sure he's a lovely fella and all but: that's one of the most basic and crucial bits to get right - if in doubt if someone is on the register, get a few more names as back-up. Mind you, I do remember that one candidate in South in 2006 didn't have enough signatures. All candidates were at the returning officer's place in lord street when the same couldn't find one of the backers on the register. Red faced panic was quickly averted when another candidate gracefully agreed to provide the missing signature. No such luck in West it seems.

NikoB Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Moore is using this site to back up some of his (now defunct) agenda.... Noticed he was linking to it via his twitter account the other day too. Not sure I agree with that..... see the links in point 3... or go to the corkish thread yourself...

I heard that the Liberal Vannin candidate, Chris Thomas, agreed with the returning officer in allowing an extra half hour to Martin to obtain the replacement names that he needed, which, I think, was of good heart.

Declan Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 The Independent has him saying "the cynical may suggest that the govt were very concerned about me getting in." "He said a large number of hits to his website were traceable only to IP addresses in Russia... The large number of hits must have come from one organisation ... probably the IOM Government.

I wish he'd got the signatures now, having him in the Keys sounds like it would have been great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxman8180 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Like I've said previously Martin is very "special". If by 'special' you mean a complete fucking lunatic, I concur. Seriously, the IoM Government using Russian based IP addresses to stalk him and prevent him from running for the HoK? He'll be convincing himself that Stu Peters is lining up his 'wet ops' boys to take him out next. Listen, freak boy, you fucked up your application form. Look no further for blame than yourself. As I said before, I am picturing him sat in his bedroom in his Mums house, late in the night shouting and banging away on his keyboard, but now he has a colander on his head and only wearing one sock. The other he has drawn a face on and is using as a hand puppet, pretending it's Geoff Corkish shouting at Cancer peeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
