West Douglas MHK Geoff Corkish has taken a swipe at online critics of the government, calling for parts of the internet to be closed down.
During the budget debate, he said although times were difficult for government, there was still reason for optimism.
He hit out at those who would run the Island down.
And he reserved particular disdain for internet forums:
Storm Dave to bring severe gales
Gusts up to 75mph expected on Saturday
Manx Care 'attempting to establish contact' with dental provider as patients face uncertainty
Smile Dental Care 'not currently providing services'
'Significant dredging works' in Douglas Harbour
Talks taking place over mitigation measures as sailing schedule disrupted
'Operational reasons' and tidal restrictions delay Heysham sailing schedule
Manxman's crossings held up overnight and throughout Good Friday
