Derek Flint Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I really don’t believe they think things through. will the first meaningful strike at carbon emissions therefore be the winding down of the TT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, how about a fuel limit as in F1? There's so much the IOM could do yet, as always does so little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Taxation bandwagon. Nothing else. Been listening to Harmer's MAMIL bullshit as well most likely. Let's see if Quayle's willing to increase the tax on farmer's red diesel as part of the measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got all of us by the gonads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got all of us by the gonads. They don't produce anything much though, do they? Spuds, carrots and cabbages. And meat that's far more expensive than its imported competitors. I certainly wouldn't starve if I boycotted Manx produce anyway. Where would any of the revenue from increased environmental charges be spent? Wind farms? Nope, we've got the NIMBYS to contend with and the MUA debt to pay off. More cycle lanes? Can't remember the last time I saw a pushbike using the Lezayre Rd, Ramsey one. Is the Peel Rd lane heaving with cyclists either? Waste of time and money. That leaves the favourite Govt costs and expenditures. And we know what they are. DOI justification schemes, Grants to the favoured, salaries and pensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Trumps Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Spuds, carrots, cabbages, apples, pears The subsidised production of these would be a wise investment It's ludicrous that a bag of Iceland oven chips is cheaper than a small bag of Manx spuds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a bit of site seeing yesterday and was shocked at what the Spanish cyclists do. Bastards actually move over and ride in single file ( even on the edge of the road) if the road is narrow. Would not be allowed over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may also be a benefit to the climate initiative if the Isle of Man Government reduced its output of hot air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that comment is just a dodge "tactic" by the CM, from the DHSC report, "breaking news" will always defer to what you want the public to hear / believe ?
