Manx Gas protest cancelled

Thu, 18 Jan 2018

A protest against Manx Gas's charges will now not go ahead next week because of anti-abortion campaigners.

The demonstration against Manx Gas's banding standing charges was due to take place outside the House of Keys on Tuesday.

However, administrator of the group Barry Murphy says some members of the group find the images shown by Abort67 insensistive, and have chosen to cancel their protest.

Abort67 - a UK anti-abortion campaign group that uses graphic images of aborted foetuses - is on the Island until next week protesting outside Tynwald over proposed changes to the Island's abortion laws.
