What’s the secret to lasting friendships? How does queer community show up through the ebbs and flows of life? And what’s the REAL story behind the “YMCA” song? In the first episode of Silver Linings, The Old Gays dive into an essential part of queer life: chosen family. They discuss the vital love, support, and sense of belonging that community provides, especially during life's toughest moments. They open up about what “queer” means to them, how chosen family has impacted their lives, and how to maintain close bonds over time–including their love for each other! “We’ve come a long way, baby.” Family isn’t just what you’re born with; it’s the people who show up, shape you, and stick around.

Agenda 19.5.25 - tax and legislation and the work of a Member of the Legislative Council. 26:51

10 hari yang lalu26:51

26:51

The Global Minimum Tax (Pillar Two) Order 2024 (Confirmation) Bill 2025 received its principles stage reading at last week’s sitting of the Legislative Council. While the Bill’s title is to say the least a little bureaucratic it cements in Manx law an ability to bring in much needed tax revenue to Treasury while not impacting on the Isle of Man’s competitiveness. Find out more about the Bill and the role of a Member of the Legislative Council from Gary Clueit MLC on this week’s Agenda. Tax and legislation can be fun …. honest!…

Agenda 12.5.25 - would energy crops be the boost that Manx agriculture desperately needs? 26:51

17 hari yang lalu26:51

26:51

Just over a month ago Perspective heard from Robert Morrey who explained his plan to build an anaerobic digestor and energy hub at Andreas. Just over a week ago a group of farmers and government officials visited Scotland to see how AD plants work. I joined them as an independent observer and this week’s Agenda gives the farmers’ view on how energy crops could work for Manx agriculture. Some positive news for farmers and more stable energy bills …. but will government back it?…

Agenda 28.4.25 - Jason Moorhouse on the Steam Packet and a disrespectful DoI? 26:51

25 hari yang lalu26:51

26:51

In Tynwald last week Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse had two motions on the Order Paper. The first related to DoI’s refusal to allow the outgoing airport director to attend a hearing of the Economic Review Committee and the second related to a report by the Select Committee on the Regulation of the Steam Packet Company. The Steam Packet is of course wholly owned by the Isle of Man Government but is kept at arm’s length from government - except of course for when political pressure builds and the arm becomes considerably shorter.…

Agenda 14.4.25 - with recorded deaths significantly exceeding births what is the implication for the Isle of Man? 26:51

6 weeks yang lalu26:51

26:51

Paul Craine has been researching our population for well over 40 years and he’s concerned about the Manx birth rate falling to it’s lowest since 1920. Births in the Isle of Man are now 43.9% lower than in 2010 with just 574 babies born last year. What’s causing this trend and how concerned should we be about it? Paul Craine joins me on this evening’s Agenda at 5.30pm on Manx Radio to consider these weighty issues. Demographer Paul Morland outlines the extent of the global decline in births and concludes that: “…governments can have no higher priority than addressing the demographic question”. He advocates “…the making of a pro-natal (pro-birth) culture” and suggests that this is “a role for all of us”. Reckon I’m getting too old for that sort of thing.…

Agenda 31.3.25 - Retired law lecturer Peter Murcott expresses his deep concerns about Michelle Haywood’s Safe Access Zones Bill 26:51

8 weeks yang lalu26:51

26:51

Retired law lecturer Peter Murcott is concerned about Michelle Haywood’s private member’s Bill which provides for Safe Access Zones and Protected Public Places. He believes that if enacted this law would lead to a significant erosion of free speech and could criminalise people merely for living in their own homes. If his interpretation of the Bill is correct than this should be a concern for us all, but is he right? He presents his case to Agenda this evening at 5.30pm on Manx Radio with me Phil Gawne. Is it reasonable to expect to be able to go about your business without being harangued by a vociferous campaigner? I guess the answer is yes but who decides what’s reasonable and is this Bill pushing us down the slippery slope to an authoritarian regime?…

Agenda 24.3.25 - the Isle of Man Medical Society give their take on the Manx Care Mandate 2025 26:51

26:51

Manx Care’s Mandate was supposed to be on Tynwald’s Agenda last week but despite the Minister’s best endeavours the debate didn’t happen. The Minister remains eager to hear the views of politicians, patients and medical professionals so she’s in for a treat on this episode of Agenda. The Isle of Man Medical Society had plenty to say about the Mandate and Drs Crerand and Prakash explain why. This is the second time in as many months I’ve interviewed the Drs - maybe I need to eat more apples?…

Agenda 17.3.25 - should there be reform of the Legislative Council and has there been some game playing on cancer care? 26:51

26:51

It’s been a few weeks now since we talked about LegCo but Onchan MHK Julie Edge has prompted Agenda back to the topic as she has a motion in Tynwald calling for the role of Members of the Legislative Council and the method of their election to be reformed. So what is this all about and what’s provoked Ms Edge to seek such reforms? Has Julie Edge been playing politics with her questions on cancer care and is she right to suggest UK government health reforms should see an end to Manx Care being independent from the Health Department?…

Agenda 10.3.25 - are amendments to the Local Government Amendment Bill about to pick a fight with local authorities? 26:52

11 weeks yang lalu26:52

26:52

The Local Government Amendment Bill appeared to be a largely uncontroversial piece of legislation providing updates and improvements to the Acts which allow the Commissioners and Councillors to deliver services to us the Rate payers. Uncontroversial until Lawrie Hooper tried to introduce three new clauses which significantly alter the relationship between central and local government. Local authorities are far from happy but is this a much needed reform to drive forward better local services? Expect fiery brands and pitch forks at dawn.…

As an early Christmas present we’ve got a yuletide topped and tailed Agenda, stuffed with an interview with newly appointed Cabinet Office Minister David Ashford. What does Mr Ashford hope to achieve in his return to Ministerial politics and does his appointment herald the start of a program of delivery of the much trumpted headline grabbing targets which government has been so good at talking about over the past three years. Government appears to be nibbling through the last of the financial leftovers at an alarming rate so can we expect some more ample portions in the year to come?

Some December Tynwald leftovers to dig into on Agenda.

The Commission is the employer of around four thousand civil servants so it’s kind of important that we get to find out what they’re up to. We also hear opposing views on Stu Peters’ attempt to persuade government to review its Net Zero targets and budgets. Is it just virtue signalling from Tynwald or will we actually see our energy bills reducing? I’d buy a big coat if I were you.…

Does prison work? Clearly it protects us from people who’ve shown a willingness to harm fellow citizens; and it acts as a deterrent to people who might be thinking about committing a crime.
