In the latest two minutes with feature from Manx Radio we get to meet Jane Poole-Wilson MLC who is standing for Middle in September. So with the hapless Richard no doubt tucked safely out of sight and embarrassing younger sister Rose likely chatting up some unsuitable gentleman admirer elsewhere in the studio we finally get to see what the main priorities are for Middle's own Hyacinth Bucket.
Two minutes with Jane Poole-Wilson:
It reads rather like a post war public information film urging the masses to vote for one of their betters and during the clip Mrs Poole-Wilson mentions her involvement with the Michael's Review of the DHSC and the Curran Report on Climate change as well as her work on private charity boards and committees such as St Christophers. These all are positions which allow her to claim direct knowledge of issues which affect common people such as our failing health care system, climate change and the plight of our disadvantaged young. Although whether her involvement is in the capacity of a professional committee sitter keeping things to order or as compassionate and interested party remains to be seen we assume.
We suppose ultimately this clip from Mrs Poole-Wilson shows just how politically and socially diverse the voting options for the people in Middle are. Here we have Hyacinth the comfy middle class solicitor with her professional committee work and several years of punching time in the Manx Establishment behind her, and at the other end of the spectrum we have cheeky ragamuffin Keiran Super Hans Hannifin Middle's argumentative Facebook carpet-bombing ganjaman. And of course not to forget the candidate who is likely to be Mrs Poole-Wilson's main challenger in Middle - the allegedly straight talking Clarkson wannabe that is Mr Stu Peters. Now there's a man who probably will ruffle Mrs Poole-Wilson's feathers due to his uncanny resemblance to Hyacinth Bucket's lazy lower class brother-in-law Onslow - the rather coarse working class sloth who is always guaranteed to show Hyacinth up in some crass way whenever the bank manager calls or the vicar pops round for tea.
Mrs Poole-Wilson is clearly a very credible candidate for MHK having spent several years as an MLC and therefore possessing a real knowledge and understanding of how Tynwald works and as such we look forward to reading her manifesto in due course safe in the knowledge that in true lawyer fashion it will most definitely be perfectly typeset and grammatically correct in every possible respect. Although in particular we look forward to any future clashes between Hyacinth and her nemesis Onslow on any matters deemed relevant to the the voters of Middle.
