Politics brought on to the streets
One of the three public speakers addressing the crowds gathered for yesterday's 'Time is Now' march in Douglas praised those attending for bringing politics to the streets.
Devon Watson of the Climate Change Coalition spoke about the Fare-Free Campaign for free public transport - one of the 'asks' demonstrators put to Tynwald at the end of the march.
He had a message for the Island's politicians:
Government plans to withdraw interest from reserve fund no longer required

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
