SleepyJoe Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Manx Radio Election Podcast with Dr Michelle Haywood - clearly an astute candidate https://www.manxradio.com/podcasts/general-election-2021/episode/michelle-haywood-candidate-interview-1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) Overall a bit of a 'soft' interview No questions or mention of Manxonia (and how much the ratepayers lost out on that bit of fun) or the high street traffic problems. Didn't they do a consultation on that recently? Sounds resigned to losing the post office. Wonder if space can be found in the newly refurbished town hall ? Nothing either about Port Erin (apart from a reference to shared services) or even general public policies. Sounds to me like not able to hit the ground running.

SleepyJoe Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I've only listened to it the once so far, but the lady sounded pretty firm on the community benefits of post office service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyWolf Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 It sounded to me that Beth Paxman give her an easy ride compared to others interviewed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyJoe Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Strange concentration on management abilities & leadership styles - is that what we look for in an MHK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really for me. States her biggest mistake was about cutting the grass iirc. I think not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 When is Gawnio going to declare. I see his is using his position at the station to load Manx Radio with Gawnism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has probably already declared but did it in Manx so nobody knows he has. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 If I could I would vote for Gawne IF, big if, he could show he has actually benefitted from his spell outside the big house and is now able to show a reconnection with the real world, not one he wants to exists in.

Except that real world politics is all about identifying, and working towards, the world you want to exist in, from the world we we live in now. You know, Apple, in your terms, from the crap NHS to a much better NHS. Unless, of course, you’re really a Bufton-Tufton, ex military type, on a huge military pension, Telegraph reading, Conservative who doesn’t believe in free at point of delivery health care ( including mental health ) for all. What you’re espousing in that post is a bit “I’m alright Jack” or “let them eat cake”, and I think I know you well enough to know you aren’t like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
