Nomadic Raptor Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 So was that a daily update where they literally updated nothing apart from figures? my highlight. “ I would like to give an update about schools....the minister of schools and stuff will be coming in Thursday”......that isn’t an update lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be an uncomfortable briefing for HQ, DA & HE following the evidence if the press get a voice. So rather than hoping for something constructive to come out of it you view it as a point scoring exercise and have firmly nailed your colours to the mast I could equally hope for the good doctor to be put back in her box but would prefer something useful to come out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procurement of vaccine is nothing to do with Brexit. Any EU member has and had the ability to procure or invest in whichever vaccine they wished 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barlow Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) Here's a graph of the Facebook viewing figures today. Yes, I think I may have a touch of OCD with this, but I'd just like to reiterate that the viewing figures do not dramatically fall off once the question start, and whoever fed that line to the Chief Minister, presumably as a means to curry favour, needs a good fucking. The Youtube figures would be spread over various outlets and taking a quick look, I see are usually a few 100 and more-or-less constant throughout the broadcast. Manx Radio numbers I don't know, and neither does anyone else, but I would say Facebook is indicative of the overall listeners/viewers.

They bring a King's ransom for fridge magnets, 3 legs stickers and tail-less cat memorabilia. Laurence. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably a lot more on top of that from the over 65's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
