NEWS FROM THE MANNIN BRANCH CELTIC LEAGUE
Now let?s just get a few things clear! If you follow the news of late this is the spin the government put on things.
Having your ?fitness to work? assessed is good for you and apparently it?s even ?just what the doctor ordered?. If the outfit doing the assessments finds you fit for work (you can appeal) and you will go on JSA. Anyway politicians and doctors, who know about these things, get paid ?lots and lots? to know about these things. So stop worrying your head about it!
Having your JSA cut is good for you ? there are still a dearth of jobs around despite the slight fall in unemployment in February but nonetheless you have to get on with it or have your family (if you have one) bail you out.
Pensions, I don?t mean occupational ones but the State Pension has got to be reformed (that means cut). Eddie Teare has asked everyone (well a handful of people in a few halls around the Island on a winter night) and the overwhelming majority say they support his move (maybe those doctors should check that medication they are giving out)!
You are getting a good deal on Gas. That?s the deal where the MUA buy it cheap sell it to Manx Gas at a profit and then Manx Gas sell it on to you at a profit. Then they both put their prices up but it?s not Alf Cannan?s fault because nothing is ever Alf Cannans fault and he wants to be Chief Minister.
MHK/MLCs can?t afford to pay a commercial price for their parking spaces but government are currently trying to drive small business that let property from them around the Island to the wall by charging ?commercial rents?. It doesn?t matter that this may force the businesses to cut jobs and there?s no contradiction as long as the politicians keep their parking perks!
Laurence Skelly believes in work permits so he?s dismantling the work permit legislation ? not much more you can say about that.
Laurence Skelly (and his COMIN) chums want to give
