Dissenting voices are valued says Steve Rodan
The President of Tynwald says he won't be surprised if climate protesters appear at St John's during the annual open air sitting of the Manx parliament this Friday (5 July).
Last year on Tynwald Day, a demonstration was held over a call for justice for abuse victims of the former Knottfield children's care home.
In recent months, several protests have been held outside the Legislative Buildings in Douglas, with campaigners calling for government to take 'rapid action' to address the climate emergency.
Mr Rodan says dissenting voices are always valued on the Island's national day:
Figures show cost of works at Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital
Section of former Ramsey Bakery site could become a motorcycle shop
Cyber security event to take place later this year
Warning after drone reported flying over farm
French tall ship returns to the sea
