Claim it's not truly treated like a national day
Tynwald Day is not a highlight of the year for the Manx nationalist party.
That's according to Mec Vannin's Mark Kermode, who's been speaking to Manx Radio from its stall on the fair field in St John's.
Mec Vannin has been campaigning for Manx independence for more than half a century.
Though today is the Isle of Man's national day, Mr Kermode says it's not truly treated like one:
Five IOM women recognised in King's Birthday Honours
Government House has announced the appointments
Police issue statement after reports female 'grabbed by her arm'
Officers issue appeal for information following incident
Option to relocate dementia patients no longer being considered by Manx Care
Body issues further update on reinstatement of rehab service to north
'Multitude of late boat arrivals' impacting customer numbers, says business
Technical issues on the ferry resulted in papers arriving late on the Island yesterday
