Edit: I've reviewed your last few dozen comments, and too many of them are inflammatory with invocations of race politics. Other recent comments are low-substance snark. We need all this to stop. I can see from earlier comments that you know what kind of discussion is appropriate and inappropriate on HN. You've made good comments in the past so I don't want to ban you, but we can't let this kind of activity continue. HN is only a place where people want to participate because others make the effort to contribute positively and observe the guidelines. Please make an effort to raise the standards rather than drag them down.
It's a reference to the murder of Henry Nowak, a sad example of knife crime which exists in the uk, and of individual police officers who failed to render basic first aid.
The family not only lost their son, but then had to see his name used to further the global hatred of the farage types
I could also mention Manx Railways, which are historic heritage lines, but there are at least three railway lines there that are mostly used by tourists and some commuters.
The Isle of Man has a curious relationship with the UK. As a Manxman once said to me, the government there is British when it feels like it and not British when it feels like it.
Like I say, the Manx government is not British when it suits it (offshore banking) but is British when it does suit it (defence). Their relationship is complicated, and often contradictory.
Apart from the Commonwealth Games, there is little effort to set up a proper national sporting infrastructure like the Faroe Islands have. Their football team does not get out much and if they have a national rugby side I've never heard of it.
