Im sure the pubs employ local people, whilst Coffee Shops are employing non-manx/local people. That's a nonsense and bordeline racist statement.

The restrictions weren't onerous to be fair. They just had to apply for a music licence and a Court would decide whether they got one. Surely that isn't too much to ask. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not, but the worry here is that the police are forcing them into a system that will eventually lead to the coppers objecting to the licence and imperiling the event. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It all depends on how much and to what extent we want our Island to become a police state. They want control and once a matter has to go to a court, it's there on a plate for them. Are the police here to serve society or are the police they arbiters of society? It's a difficult one, but when a society has weak poiticians (we have never had so many as we have now) then the establishment is going to get its way every time. Bill Malarkey Secretary of State for the Isle of Man. Bloody hell! I thought the young fella Juan Watterson was as far as that joke could go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asitis Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 We live in a litigious age, much of what has been discussed throughout this thread can be traced back to the " where does the buck stop and who is going to come after us if the wheel comes off " I used to be part of a committee that ran a small public event , for years it was never any problem, until someone pointed out that in all probability the committee would find itself liable should someone get injured whilst at the event, even for instance tripping on a rabbit hole or similar. As a result we had to write risk assessments and have inspections from all and sundry and take out an event insurance covering each member of the committee for personal liability . The whole ambulance chasing culture to look for someone to go after if something awful should happen has trickled down into emergency services, and into most aspects of modern life. Whatever the story here you can bet its roots lie in ass covering, and not some sinister plot against the Castletown Commissioners and their event. Seems to me some dialogue around a table is required before next year with some adults present !! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
