Claim it's not truly treated like a national day
Tynwald Day is not a highlight of the year for the Manx nationalist party.
That's according to Mec Vannin's Mark Kermode, who's been speaking to Manx Radio from its stall on the fair field in St John's.
Mec Vannin has been campaigning for Manx independence for more than half a century.
Though today is the Isle of Man's national day, Mr Kermode says it's not truly treated like one:
Government 'expects fuel pricing to stabilise by middle of week'
Chief Minister to address House of Keys on topic tomorrow
Tanker carrying 4.5 million litres of fuel waiting to dock
Forecourts prepare to replenish stocks as diesel prices rise
Queues at pumps as diesel prices increase across Island
Average of 185.9p per litre - a 50p rise
We aren't the fun police!
Chief Technical Officer explains scrutineering
