Anyone familiar with the rules of state PR will
know that when a government has to bury bad news it will be done on a
Friday. And so this Friday, just too late for any Manx media outlet
to pick it up, this (see
http://www.gov.im/news/2014/apr/04/visiting-soldiers-to-deliver-personal-development-days-in-schools/
) appeared on the Manx government website. Just as offices were
packing up for the day and the local mediocracy were heading for the
pub.
You can look in vain for any critical reports on
Manx media websites and radio stations, or in the printed press.
There will be none. Likewise no questions to or by politicians.
In a nutshell, everything that I predicted would
happen after the Island signed the UK government's pathetic “military
covenant” is now happening. The British MOD, with Manx government
assistance, is openly recruiting in our schools. The UK government,
with Manx government assistance, will be able to sign up some of our
most vulnerable children - the ones who will fail in school and
become otherwise unemployable.
If or when any of them come back in a wheelchair,
or needing 24 hour care, the MOD will not pick up the bills or assume
any responsibilities. The Manx politicians who failed to think about
the consequences of agreeing to this awful covenant and allowing the
warmongers easy access to Manx children will by then be collecting
comfortable pensions paid by us. They certainly will not be bearing
the responsibilities of their actions.
If you have children or young relatives, or even
if you just consider yourself a responsible adult, read through the
first two pieces on this blog again.
Then either do something about
it or stop pretending you have moral values.
