Rushen Spy Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 1 hour ago, Roger Mexico said: It's fairly typical of the sort of story the local media feel capable of covering. Stuff that might require analysis or in depth investigation (for example the health service) gets minimised in favour of simple stories and passing on the latest 'statement'. That's deliberate.

Kopek Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 " HQ Evacuated ". Poor Howard, maybe he has this new flu bug!!! Seriously, we could do with knowing what is behind this threat. Was it explosives, a noxious substance or Daz in an envelope? Was it addressed to an individual, a business leader or a politician??? Was it a serious subversive group attack or just a problem riddled person having a go at someone? The former would be serious indeed for the Island, the latter, probably containable? One of those situations when we could do one of those famous Police statements, "There is no danger to the General Public" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s all this was. I believe something cropped up when a package was scanned and then they go into emergency mode which includes firing out a press announcement. You can’t expect the people at 3fm to look out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manx Bean Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 For completeness, it would be refreshing for the Island's Mickey Mouse media to actually follow up and complete a story....I guess I'd be hanging on for a long time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finlo Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 A certain troublesome young chap who has "gone to ground" allegedly ordered some sort of bomb making kit online is the story I was told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
