Uhtred Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'm pretty sure he's standing as a joke. There are quite a few standing jokes in the House of Keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey boy Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Ex sidecar racer. Won the TT five times. Politics slightly to the right of Hitler. Not from the little I've heard of him on the radio so far - he was advocating getting rid of many of the government employees on over £100K. Nicky's a good fella and has got his head screwed on, depending on what he's got to say on certain subjects I may even vote for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh get over yourself, just because he's not some establishment brown nose yes man. I haven't seen much of his politics yet but he's a good lad and has a lot more about him than the likes of you give him credit for. Depending on his ideas he's the only candidate in Ramsey so far that I may consider voting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gettafa Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 MR and the papers seem slow to publisise his declaration? Yeah, they even did that when he started to do really well in the TT. They ignored him, even though he had much more to say and less sweary-mouthed than the estabishment TT clown puppet Milky Quayle. They couldn't ignore him and passenger Darren Hope when they first entered the winners arena though. "Why have you shaved your head" asked the feckless Manx Radio Chris Kiley to Darren, thinking it was some sort of lucky charm sort of thing "Nah, it's because the daughter came home from school with nits and we all got our heads shaved" So, back to Nicky Crowe: What about his chances of actually being able to do the job though? If doing the job is getting rid of overpaid and largely needless/useless civil servants then I would suggest he is the only one that can do the job. The only candidate that can actually see the smirking fat elephant in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanxfella Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'm pretty sure he's standing as a joke. There are quite a few standing jokes in the House of Keys. Agreed. But those coming forward are even worse it's like a really shit version of x-factor where everyone has a sympathetic back story we all have to vote on as they actually appear to have no discernible talent to actually win whatsoever. A loony anti capitalist alcoholic, crackpots with kids who seem to like downloading kiddy porn, an apparently mental but harmless gardener, an angry power obsessed autocrat hotelier, a crazed sidecar racer, and a completely bonkers online democracy proponent - and that's just the start. There's a handful of apparently normal people who don't seem to be complete electoral fuck ups on paper but it's few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these candidates a true representation of our society (oh dear, if so) or is there something about Manx politics that wakes up the looney tunes and makes them believe they're parliamentary material?
