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:
Roads beginning to open
Dean Harrison wins the first race of TT 2026
Chance to be part of the TT movie this afternoon
Tomorrow's beach festival cancelled
All TT course roads now closed
TT Legacy Lap to set off this morning
Mountain Road section closed by crash this morning
