Perspective 6.7.25 - Is there a place for national pride in our nations politics?
Perspective
Sunday, 6 July 2025 - 51 minutes
With the sad news of the death of Pat Bridson, one of the radical nationalist politicians who helped develop Mec Vannin in the 1960s and 70s to become a credible political force I took the opportunity to catch up with two of her colleagues, Bernard Moffatt and Allan Bell. Pride in the place you live and a desire to develop Manx solutions to Manx problems has become quite a normal part of political discourse these days but sixty years ago this was seen as quite a radical philosophy. Any chance that we’ll hear glowing tributes on previous government’s from Bernard? Well … prepare to be shocked!
