An engaging political debate.
That’s how last night’s (Friday) Isle of Man 2020 gathering in Onchan has been described.
Ratepayers joined politicians in the Parish Hall for a debate, focusing predominantly on means testing.
The meeting was organised by West Douglas MHK Chris Thomas as an alternative to government’s ‘Big Debate’.
Chairman of Patrick Commissioners David Talbot was among those who attended.
