Billy One Mate Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 I am sure Ans that if FCMR is proved right over this whole sorry affair YOU will be the first in a long line of doubters, abusers etc to offer your humble apologies just as if he is wrong you will again be one of the first to vilifie him. I have been wanting to put this quote from the past back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ans Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Shall I just put up the same reply I did last time? I don't give a shit who wins, that's never been my source of irritation. So no, I wont be apologising to anyone because I've never once said that I think he's wrong. Nor will I villify him if he loses, but you'll forgive me if have a small chuckle to myself. As it turns out, it seems he was only about half right anyway. Nevermind eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theskeat Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 CELTIC LEAGUE - PRESS INFORMATION POLITICIAN RESIGNED BECAUSE OF FEARS FOR FAMILY SAFETY - CLAIM Manx political life is hardly at the cutting edge when it comes to confrontation. No Manx political figure has imitated Michael Heseltines behaviour in the British parliament in 1976 (when he seized the mace and brandished it towards Labour left-wingers) and waved the Sword of State at their Tynwald colleagues. The tone of debate, which probably reached a fairly low ebb in the last Tynwald, still has not risen above the level of heightened voices and sharp exchanges. Certainly no scenes on a parallel with the punch-ups televised over recent years in assemblies in Eastern Europe, the Far East or Latin America. Even outside the dusty chamber of Tynwald the tone of political comment is remarkably restrained. The Island has had a few clandestine newspapers and more recently internet sites but measured against the global Richter scale of political turmoil and unrest the invective they generate is pretty tame stuff. Even where political 'aggro' did spill over some years ago into direct action it was remarkably restrained and despite the fact the Island, decades ago, spawned militant groups like Fo Hallo, Irree Magh and FSFO, bodies that undertook serious direct action, individuals were never targeted and no one was ever, thankfully, hurt. Taken against this background the recent comments of a former Island Chief Minister as he indicated he would not seek re-election at the forthcoming House of Keys General election are quite astonishing. Richard Corkill MHK resigned as Manx Chief Minister following his arrest in December 2004 as part of investigations into allegations over tourism grants. Mr Corkill and his wife Julie were interviewed by detectives from the serious crime unit as part of their inquiries into allegations over grants paid to the Corkills by the Department of Tourism and Leisure. Eventually no charges were brought against Mr Corkill but his wife was charged and her trial concluded just days before Mr Corkill indicated that he was to stand down from politics last month. The key reason he highlighted for his exit from the political stage was the 'welfare and safety' of his family. It is unprecedented for any poltical figure to be forced from political life in the Isle of Man due to threats to their family's safety. So what are the threats and more pertinently what are the police, aware of the very public way in which the allegation was made, doing to get to the bottom of it?

LoneWolf Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I thought the point BM made about internet forums was the call on forums for a prison sentence, nothing to do with threatening. Correct. You and Bernard [both] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your quite right Ans why should you give a dam, it was not your problem and to be honest your banter has at times cheered me up. By the way 4 out of six is 66.6% a bit more than half right, and it turned out that it is OK to use DTL funds to restore your own house, as Mr Moyle seems to think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 and it turned out that it is OK to use DTL funds to restore your own house, as Mr Moyle seems to think You might consider revising or removing that.

Gladys Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 So what happens next? Seems to me the order on costs in the criminal case could have a significant impact on the civil case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me you might be correct and also seems to me that may have been alluded to already by someone who has been a central figure in the case.

I wouldnt think Mr Moyle has suggested anything of the sort. Chill out a bit. It was proved in the case that the builders itemised valuations that should have been handed to the DTL along with the invoices showed that over £24000-00 had been spent on Ballacain house but the court could not decide if it was the grant money that paid for the work or Mrs Corkills own money bit of a hard one that, you decide because non of the legal team could work that decision out either. That verdict may come back into court on 24th November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
