Simon has about 50 channels now! Hardest working man on Youtube (or his script writers are at least). Never been called Phants. But I'll allow it.

Cueey Lewis And The News Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Never mind Daffers is saving the world single handedly again blowing £50K of her MHK salary on a nice new virtue signaling EV. In bright red too, so that everyone can clearly see her driving round saving the world on all that gas generated Manx electricity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly couldn't be any worse. "Best Experience. Guaranteed" my arse! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue or grey would have been much more appropriate. Or black. Not yellow though. Perhaps orange? Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until she finds she's gonna need finance to cover replacement batteries. depending on the vehicle, I'm told a full set can be up to £18,000 plus another £1,000+ to find somewhere (off Island currently) to dispose of the old ones. AND....major handringing if you want to go for a trip anywhere off the Island. Definately not for me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But virtue signalers need to be SEEN there’s no point in futility pretending to save the world if people can’t see that you’re futilely pretending to save the world. So red is a good choice really.

She has just received a pay increase as an MHK, now earning £70k plus. So she can afford an expensive EV which many currently trying to make ends meet will never aspire to own, fine. But in my opinion Mrs Caine has shown poor judgement as an elected representative in permitting the photo and article which flaunts her apparent affluence at a time when many people are struggling. I presume the excitement of picking up a new flashy red car took over but it seems symptomatic of the situation we have with our current politicians who are completely out of touch with the reality on the Island. Finally, apart from heading up a team of consultants, officers and paper pushers what has Mrs Caine actually done to address the declared climate emergency - she flies the climate flag by driving an EV which produces more carbon than a petrol car in its manufacture and uses electric produced from gas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
english zloty Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 seems they've seen sense at last - very watered down regulations on new build requiring non-fossil fuel systems from 2025. new extensions etc now confirmed as not being part of the ban. reading between the lines, there's no real way of policing it in the short-term at least. https://www.tynwald.org.im/spfile?file=/business/opqp/sittings/20212026/2023-SD-0306-memo.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
