Mec Vannin had its latest news sheet on its stall at St Johns. Surprisingly, when you consider the number of controversial issues in the news at the moment, there is very little of the expected fire and brimstone from the Island's leading nationalist movement.
Topics covered are a bit old hat - pensions, LegCo, a foreign saint, and fluoridisation (sic) - and the "nasty little right wing, stupid reactionary enclaves like today's tax dodging Isle of Man" diatribe seems a bit passé.
When Welsh and Cornish nationalists are threatening to get the matches out again, and even Cumbrian 'nationalists' are pledging to join in the giving 'incomers' and 'holiday-home-owners' a warm welcome, The Manx Herald has to ask of Mec Vannin "Have they gone soft?"
