Yes he did - he did managed to beat Kevin the Oliphant and someone who withdrew their nomination. He also came last in Rushen in 2016 by quite a long way - though I seem to remember he was living in Peel then as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it went out paid by the government, even more so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Government won’t pay for postage on that. I hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a little unconvincing when I spoke to him but still I voted for him. He ran, may still do, Ken Quines in Port Erin, which explains the decision to stand in Rushen.

Declan Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 If your giving Boot and Hamer their honorific MHK you should include MLC after Lord-Brennan's name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyWolf Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Well that should see Boot and Hamer voted out, hopefully more come to the party. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine how long the Tynwald Question Paper will be in October if he gets elected? I hope the Sunnyside Gallery guy stands.
