Outgoing MHK criticises Manx negotiators
Outgoing MHK Chris Robertshaw says the Island sent the equivalent of 'Third Division players to take on a Premier League side', in the Liverpool Ferry Terminal negotiations.
He says the Manx negotiators were just 'outclassed', and in certain instances, didn't listen to advice they were given.
Speaking with former MHK Phil Gawne on Manx Radio's Agenda, Mr Robertshaw said the separation of policy from actual operation was vital for success:
Government plans to withdraw interest from reserve fund no longer required
Higher than expected income tax receipts mean it's not necessary
Medical cannabis should be 'holistic', says pharmacistÂ
Drug has 'useful benefits' but isn't 'the be-all and end-all'
Peel Commissioners not adding 'discretionary' one percent increase to social housing rents
It reviewed rent arrear levels and 'escalating' food costs when making the decision
New organ donation laws set to come into force in coming weeks
It follows Tynwald approval of new measures earlier this year
