Gizo Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Incidently, why is Ballakillowey roundabout such a bad thing? Loads of people moan about it but that road needed resurfacing anyway. £250,000ish, 17 weeks of disruption for a garden patio, when a lick of paint would have done. Try driving 50 yards along ballagawne rd and that is where it needs resurfacing. Pity really as all he will be remembered by oh and playing with matches.

rcostain Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Leaves no choice in Garff now (i guess there's little doubt anyway). Unfortunately for me Rodan spends too much time focusing on the UK - , - "how we have a relatively safe community . . unlike the UK" (not comfortable with that sentence for many reasons. Is the UK not relatively safe? Relative to what? Are we comparing everywhere in the UK with the Isle of Man?) - how we're richer than the UK (yet still fairly reliant on them) - how in the UK "crime and social unrest are the norm" (riots and looting are now happening every night accross the whole of the UK I guess. Maybe post-election here there'll be some social unrest when cuts may start happening) - how the house purchase scheme is the envy of the UK (is it??) - how the rising cost of living here is because of the UK . . and the world economies (could really just state "the world economy" if he wasn't trying to mention the UK in a negative light yet again. Much of the world is facing rising costs of living, because of the world economy, not because of the UK economy. As a place where people save tax by investing here rather than the UK and other countries, we do contribute to the world economy on a small scale and in a generally unpopular way. At the same time we are sheltered somewhat by our size. Its no miracle or work of genious on governments part that we've not suffered to the same extent) - how the VAT agreement recalculation was a "raid" on us by the UK. Then in his bigger section later on not actually confirming why he think its a raid rather than the UK just tightening the agreement that we have previously thrived on (and wasted?) and that on the face of it does seem to have over-benfited us. Basically just says that we should keep the status quo now. Would be quite refreshing to see an MHK come forward with evidence of why the VAT re-calculation should or shouldn't have been done by the UK govt. All the mentions of the UK just sound populist.

Theodolite Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I would like to see Steve Rodan as Chief Minister. We will get to see the real Steve then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojomonkey Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 oh dear! And ??? we have a convicted arsonist as an MHK Having a criminal record may not prevent you being a serving MHK but I think you'll find being in prison does stop you from serving as one.

Cronky Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Rodan declares in favour of independence if the conditions were 'right': Manifesto INDEPENDENCE FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM?Not now. This would be cutting off our nose to spite our face, in the naive belief that recent challenges from them and external pressures from other agencies would thereby simply go away. But when it is judged to be in our best interests, and at the time of our choosing, we should not hesitate to do so. Has anyone other candidate included independence in their Manifesto?

But it's entirely typical waffle without committing to anything at all. He's brilliant at that if you can stay awake long enough to understand the point he is weaving around. Having said that, he is about the best there is. Christ, have I really come to that conclusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Shambles ahoi there. Won't do LVP any favours and now makes a mockery out of things. If you live in Garff, there's no point voting now, is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickenlips Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 If you live in Garff, there's no point voting now, is there? Don't say things like that! Why not? Was considering voting for Dobson as I don't want to vote for Rodan. Dobson's disregard for the law and inability to complete his nomination form correctly now leaves me with no choice. So why bother wasting my time voting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobson was never much of an option anyway, just someone who isn't Rodan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
