Do I wish the Prime Minister would stop asking rhetorical questions? Yes I do. Has he listened to Barack Obama's speech patterns and decided he'd like a bit of his popularity? Yes he has. Would he kindly disappear up into his worthless, value-free, elitist, regressive arse? No, I'm afraid he...

Hmm, maybe I should start a continuing thread on the goings-on over here :D After the elections on the 21st November, the island needs a new Chief Minister. The CM comes from within the ranks of Tynwald (the parliament), so would be an MHK (MP) elected this time around. First role to be...
