Support for Scottish Independence continues to grow and is according to opinion polls now above 50% and solid.

It’s ironic really as when the referendum campaign which was narrowly lost was launched the core support was less than 33%. Indeed some say the UK government only allowed it to go ahead because they thought it would be a wipe-out.

The Manx Chief Minister has been speaking about the road ahead he said:

‘Although one cannot be certain from the time line the CM gives in his reply it would seem that the records were destroyed before the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda had completed its work (and indeed some indictments are still open via the MICT).

When Allan Bell MHK the Manx Chief Minister came out and attacked those who troll and spread malicious rumours on the Internet I personally applauded his stance and remarked that it complemented efforts being made in Ireland by Senator Lorraine Higgins to tackle cyber-bullying.

The disastrous proposals being put forward on mass population growth on the Isle of Man need to be fought by all possible means. Comments in favour of population expansion are being put out by the likes of Micky Swindale of the Chamber of Commerce and her ilk. They do not have the best interests of the Manx people at heart. They are proposals driven by greed and self interest.
