A Douglas councillor says plans to revive the Miss Isle of Man contest are a backwards step that shouldn't be allowed in a government-run facility.
The newest incarnation of the competition will take place at the Villa Marina on August 5th - 18 years after it was scrapped.
Karen Angela says beauty pageants are a sexist relic and the event comes at a time when the House of Keys is discussing new equality laws.
She says she can't understand why the Department of Economic Development would allow the event to go ahead:
17 Bus services could be cancelled today
Motorcycle club want to hear from potential MGP newcomers
Entries open for Poetry Trail
Reservoir project behind schedule
Women in business celebrated at Isle of Man’s Elevate You Awards
