Among the daily diet of utter nonsense served up by the IOM Government - usually by head waiter Thomas - you’ve identified a good one to shine a light on the curious economic theory that seem to apply only in a bubble around this Island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also why should Manx Radio effectively advertise itself for free during the races. (Although it does stem from the absurd position that that the government are subsidising the races and paying it's broadcasting wing for coverage, whilst telling us it is massive for the economy.) Govt dept A pays Govt dept B to provide a service, any income from this service in Govt dept B must go back to Govt dept A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applicants should quote, within their bid, how much they would like Government to pay them. Although I lost faith a long time ago, I am completely at a loss to see how the hell this works? Is there another major sporting legend where a broadcaster gets paid to lay on the gig? the next thing will be that the TV rights holder gets paid to do it. itv4 do get paid for tt coverage....... out of everyone on the forum you should know........its the same as your 15 minutes of fame on ttblues......funded by taxpayers......

TT Blues was an independently produced documentary by Raw Cut TV, which was commissioned by ITV 4 following a pitch to them by that company. No taxpayers money was harmed in the making of that film. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Fully agree. That anthem ain't selling shit. One of the most uninspiring musical pieces since God save the Queen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shit anthem and a shit piece of music. It needs some gentle humour injecting into it. Looks like the lads have re-written the words. I shall sing them at St Johns on Tynwald Day.
