@Gedpower It seems we are imploding…. But Alf says it’s not looking that way on paper…

It’s 8:30pm on the Isle of Man. Sunday night. Liverpool flight sent home. Stairway not up to it. Tesco and Coop Shut. Spar run out of carrier bags. WTF.

@Gedpower My daughter is 18 and has full bike license, she got it at 17. Only to discover nobody on island will insure her! Rides a Honda CRF 300.

I don’t see or know of many local people under thirty who are riding motorcycles. Any data/info out there?

@ElizabetFithole @basilthegreat It’s AI look how the arms disappear

@basilthegreat is this england ??

A woman can't even get off the bus at her stop because the entire third world barged past her Time for deportations

@Arron_Pearce_ Short PR delta wave and short QT.

22 year old male complaining of intermittent palpitations - What two findings do you notice? I am unsure if this is a coincidence or if they could be linked

@LawrieHooper It’s not a well advertised position. And Braddan did get a new member this year but I only heard about on that persons fb page. As for the unaccountability it’s endemic!

@SoniaRowe15 The Roundhouse episode is weird because despite all the frustration no one decided to stand for election to challenge the incumbents The general lack of interest in being a Commissioner means local authorities are essentially unaccountable, which is definitely not a good thing!

A room full of mainly unelected people asking other unelected people to override a decision made by elected MHKs in order to ‘protect democracy’ is irony of the highest order

@LawrieHooper Is this the same committee that looked into Zero hour contracts? And did exactly zero?!

The link between poverty and educational attainment is pretty well proven I’d suggest Hopefully the committee is looking into how we address this known issue rather than just trying to revisit what we already know

@MichaelJosem To be fair. The Vikings inhabited the north of the island. So Orry seems misplaced at Tynwald.

Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anythings BANANAs

@LawrieHooper Is there any more data on those 50 alleged to be affected? As in male or female? Nature of SE works? My concern is that single mothers may be the primary targets here.

No.

@LawrieHooper That doesn’t explain how that invites people to want to come here? It tells how to fleece them further if they do.

@SoniaRowe15 The money raised being reinvested in the tourism sector will do that - not the tax itself Although if people see we are serious about protecting our biosphere it will no doubt attract a certain type of tourist And when you’re talking about £7 for a week most won’t worry at all

More accurately, an MHK is asking that: “Treasury, working with the Department for Enterprise, should consult with accommodation providers and report to Tynwald by April 2026.” On the introduction of a visitor levy

@manxben4 @LawrieHooper We have a key worker who has taken one of the 1 bed 750pm. I dunno who is gonna pay 2k for the penthouse!

@LawrieHooper They are. I’m a nurse. I’m moving in this week. And guess what, I’m not paying £2k.

Weren’t these originally supposed to be affordable properties for key workers…..

@IainKewley @ManxRadio Not forgetting that it relies on the patient telling a good story! My concern are those who have something serious going on but don’t articulate that well. Immediately downgraded.

@ManxRadio Who decides whether the patient needs to be seen by a doctor? Is the decision made by someone with the same level of knowledge (ie a doctor) or someone with less knowledge who may not know what they do not know?

Primary care professionals will ease pressures on GPs, says treasury minister #News #IoM #ManxRadio manxradio.com/news/isle-of-m…

@christhomasiom Would it boil down to cost? Would extra budget be assigned?

Can Assisted Dying be provided as an NHS service? Very interested for thoughts on this. I found this blog about human rights elements of state provision fascinating ukhumanrightsblog.com/2024/11/01/gue…

@Ahmedata7777 Trifasciular block and it possibly looks like a 2:1 AV block in the artefact.

80M, dizziness ECG?

The Children's Champion has detailed the state of accommodation for vulnerable young people. Her report documents wallpaper hanging off walls, children choosing homelessness over a place they don't feel safe and a lack of any real alternatives #isleofman manx.news/some-accommoda…

@manxben4 @Gedpower 😂

@Gedpower Sarah Maltby went for a Spa.

Facebook ‘pile on’ going mad in the local FB pages. Gov stock value/reputation is absolute rock bottom. Public finance policies taking a thrashing. Apart from Paramount Cafe, are there any good news stories?

@GaryRobertsIOM I’m verging on feeling inspired by him. Because if that buffoon can become president makes me feel I could achieve anything!

Somehow I’d forgotten how incredibly stupid he is.

@manxscenes @LawrieHooper And it’s not even 2% it’s 10%. As 10% of the existing 20% is an increase of 2. The usual machiavellian maths….

@LawrieHooper Seems our “temporary” 2% tax increase hasn’t even touched the problems and issues!

We already know that Manx Care won’t come in on their inadequate budget We already know that unless the budget changes this pattern will continue next year We know that holding to the current budget will mean (possibly big) service cuts This decision risks making it worse

@Gedpower We do love heritage on the IOM!

Someone high up must own the stationary store.
