The Manx Nationalist Party Mec Vannin has launched a scathing attack mon the Isle of Man Department of Education for allowing recruitment into the UK armed forces from Island schools.
In an article in the Yn Pabyr Seyr (Tynwald Day edition) the Party say;
"Mec Vannin's stated policy is to oppose the use of our schools to recruit our children into the UK's armed forces. Let's be quite blunt about this. The UK hasn't fought a justifiable conflict in decades. As such the UK forces continue to be a tool of unjustifiable imperialism and we can offer no support to them at any level."
The article goes on to point out that UK based educational Unions are now starting to take a stand against the issue saying;
"The IOM Department of Education have continued to fail to act on this issue. Now, certain UK local authorities have finally put an end to this practice and after pressure brought by the National Union of Teachers. Yet again where we should have led, the Isle of Man, the last bastion of a corrupt empire, will probably end up as the last place where children can be indoctrinated into signing up to fight the UK's oil wars."
Earlier this year the influential social think tank 'The Joseph Rowntree Trust' suggested in a report that the Army was seeking to attract recruits by glamorising warfare and underplaying the risks involved in a military career.
