Two-lane Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Thomas, in that radio interview, seemed to speak in a somewhat garbled way. This is how I hear part of the speech: "Sometimes what's even happened in those meetings has been misinterpreted or misrepresented and the only reason there why we need to avoid face-to-face meetings in that sense is that there's any risk to misrepresentation inside what happened in those meetings " In my low-level experience of meetings, the minutes are the definitive statement - minutes signed by both sides at the end of the meeting. If it isn't written down it wasn't agreed. It seems to me that Thomas is implying that there were no minutes of these meetings. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More idiocy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mann O Mann Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 It’s got nothing to do with CT, it’s George …he had the responsibility to take this potential billion dollar revenue stream forward for the IOM , he just bloody well would not take responsibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To much of an important decision to be left to someone with No leadership or ability to keep his civil service bods in check . What a ridiculous , idiotic and embarrassing thing to say about why he has not “ met “with Crogga since October 2022. WTF. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 This is why we need the gas at Crogga if it exists, long term energy security for Us & Uk gas is required https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66051560 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah 01 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) I wouldn't know this apparent incompetent Chris Thomas even if I ran him over. From what I read here he is incapable - period. Who is he; where has he come from; what are his qualifications to do anything aside from a diploma in spouting BS; and presumably enough of our brain-dead parishioners voted for him? Just asking - and when can we get rid of him? Edited June 30, 2023 by Utah 01 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 It's not entirely his fault. He is minister of an unmanageable department. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoTailT Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Chris isn't helped by the fact he has no competent civil support. Why don't they just go: right this could be really important, let's instruct the British regulator (like we do with other things) to review it? Let them suggest a path forward.

Utah 01 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Many thanks - superbly qualified on paper which begs the question as to why is he apparently such a plonker who seems to be the apparent kiss of death in everything he touches. He has a CV that has seen that has seen a lot of diverse postilions in a relatively short space of time which I would treat with a degree of wariness. Just what is he; a jack of many trades and master of none, by the looks of it? Of course, if his Oxbridge degree equates to 'brains' then BS doesn't have to do much to baffle him. Nevertheless, a degree in PPE gives the game away, a degree whose holders have wrecked the country and the Tory party in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
