TheTeapot Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Worth pointing out that one of the other proposed candidates is chair(wo)man of Port St Mary commissioners and has been on the board since 2015, so she clearly isn't suitable, seeing as they're probably the worst board going.

Haafizah Hoosen is the person in question. She's a South African who's been here since 2001. Muslim doesn’t worry me at all. South African on the other hand... And anyone connected with PSM Commissioners fills me with more dread than Houghton and Henderson combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure sex with children (of either sex) has actually been legalized here. I suppose it’s a good excuse for a bit of thinly belied racism though. Nice try.

Apparently she's an Ask for Evidence Ambassador for Sense about Science, which may set her up for disappointment as a member of Tynwald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojomonkey Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Reading her CV, she seems pretty intelligent. Probably over qualified for Keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Shoe Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Having read her LinkedIn (which has no mention of any religion) I would have no problem with this person.... ...except WAY too young and inexperienced. She'd be so easy to manipulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very wrong of me to be opposed to her becoming an MLC because of her age. I'm purely against it because of her lack of life/professional/people/negotiating experience. Something she can easily remedy (although it will take a few years). But at least she starts off with brains, so already ahead of many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
