Dissenting voices are valued says Steve Rodan
The President of Tynwald says he won't be surprised if climate protesters appear at St John's during the annual open air sitting of the Manx parliament this Friday (5 July).
Last year on Tynwald Day, a demonstration was held over a call for justice for abuse victims of the former Knottfield children's care home.
In recent months, several protests have been held outside the Legislative Buildings in Douglas, with campaigners calling for government to take 'rapid action' to address the climate emergency.
Mr Rodan says dissenting voices are always valued on the Island's national day:
Amber weather warning issued as strong winds and coastal conditions expected overnight
Hospice funding criticised by UK charity chief amid Isle of Man service cuts
Sailings cancelled as storm brings gale-force winds
Manx Mountain Marathon route diverted over safety concerns amid forecast strong winds
