John Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I've just got in and that's the first thing I read in the Courier, I am supportive of the person 100%, he'll be brilliant for Douglas. I really really hope Butch gets elected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebees Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Another runner has entered the starting gate. Ann Corlett, daughter of the delectable Glenda (I do not like her but I've deleted my two line rant). I've heard about these people standing but aside from a "Hi I'm Ann" card we received today, I'm yet to hear anything about any candidates policies or plans, are they really so bold as to think they'll be elected on their personality and family history? On a personal level I like Butch and Kevin, I do not know the others socially so cannot comment......although, I have heard a thing or 7 about George, I'm a bit torn on him, he seems like an alright sort of a bloke but I worry he has too many fingers in too many pies and could easily be helping his mates without necessarily meaning any harm, same goes for Ann really, she has a catering business, plenty of work to be had out of the town hall but I'll decide further down the line. I do often wonder what other people want from Douglas council? I want assurance that hugely expensive projects will not be embarked upon willy nilly, that spending is monitored (properly) and there are less things discussed in the privacy of the exec club. I also would like the park to be better, never mind sending five 72 year olds to some kids park equipment fair, how about doing a quick reccy of the parents/kids in the park? Oh the non bouncy trampoline, total winner. I also find it a bit mental that they've installed more of that daft exercise equipment, they're dangerous, the kids take the bolts out of them and they're useless, the point of getting more of them was? Whoooosh tangent ---> over there. The council are spoon feeding the puppet press, there are things being discussed in private that are very important to the rate payers of Douglas and by the time they see the light....too late, deal done, etc etc etc, I do go on but I will stop now.

thebees Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 And his policies are? I take it you know what he is all about and what his policies are? On a personal level Butch gets my vote but if someone else is chatting more of my shit than he has, I'll change my mind. Hmmm, I just remembered Butch & Kevin were the only candidates I saw at any of the meetings that were held in the lead up to the Douglas West election (although.. I didn't attend any other than the CT ones....oh yeah, that's right, he was the only one who called meetings....) the others may have been at the requisition meeting but it was busy....I don't think so but, I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, thanks, anyway, Butch & Kevin were at every meeting and will also be involved in the residents (council watch) society. Two horse race? I do hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if this is PC but decorum has hardly been my forte: is it an issue if a person who is wanting to be in a position to care for others appears not to care for themselves? Surely you wouldn't go to see a Dentist who had rotten teeth, would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebees Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Yeah, a very important lesson, it kind of helped that Chris Thomas was 100% what the Isle of Man needs. It's boring and interesting at the same time, the hansards are not summarised anywhere and they don't half waffle a load of tripe, hmm maybe the government press person could do this and add it to their new e-news paper thingio.

RonnieD Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 According to the council web site Chris Thomas has left Douglas Council .......perhaps to cruise his way in to MHKdom, Becomes an MHK does a couple of meetings then gets a 3 month holiday. Result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
