Manx police said the block would become a focus for criminal behaviour.

Well, on those grounds, they would need to get rid of the phone boxes, streetlamps, the bus station, the park, the bit of grass next to the school, on Queens Pier road, all these things in Ramsey are magnets for chav pikeys, maybe someone could explain this, cos I can't see the attraction.. :huh:

Its true that many little sh*ts tend to gather around public sh*thouses on Friday/Saturday nights. The toilets in York Road used to attract them and, now that the club on Broadway has closed, they tend to meet and gather at the one opposite Tower House.

Generally speaking, most of them are harmless - but there are always those who think it hilarious to fill the toilet bowl with paper and cause it to overflow.

It may well come under the heading of 'criminal activity,' but its hardly life-threatening.

Nobles was a tragedy, a breach of human rights and a legal night mare.

 

Ex Chief Constable R Oake, with biblical zeal, had CCTV put up.

 

After weeks of covert observation by the boys in blue they arrested neraly 40 people over two nights.

 

Most were not gay but men who had sex with men, otherwise happliy married, with children.

 

The Island press splashed the names of all those charged over the papers. Two died, on by carbon monoxide poisoning the other by blowing his brains out. One child was left an orphan.

 

Reputations were ruined.

 

Out of this tragedy and cricis was born the IOM Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgenedered phoneline and web site.

 

Such covert operations have since been declared to be an infringement of human rights.

 

Mr Oake has never apologised.
