cheeky boy Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Do all those new recruits to Liberal Vannin know that Peter is nominating a Ukipper? Very odd. Did the party's financiers ask him to put the Ukipper up? The Ukipper is the party financier cheeky boy - is this a fact or just being tongue-in-cheeky? Was Karran's meeting with UKIP in Channel Islands over Lisbon Treaty related to this financing? Is it Dr Dick personally financing or UKIP as a party that are financing LV? In the interests of transparency and good government, Peter Karran should publish his party's accounts along with a list of donors My bets are on Dr Dick as the main donor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bets are on Dr Dick as the main donor I think you may be right about this, but do you have any evidence, sources etc. or is it a hunch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnieK Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 How and why was Dr Dick appointed for this review? He hardly comes across as an obvious choice. It could perhaps look like it was arranged as a bit of 'grooming' to give boost to his political career in IoM. Dr Dick seems to be at the end of a few patronage strings. Well, to be fair to him, the CSO website states that he was chairman of an NHS trust, so he has some experience when it comes to the provision of public services, and government reviews like businessmen in general because it's thought that management practices from the private sector may be used to improve those in the private sector. Having said that, I'm not sure of the wisdom of appointing someone with such a loudly proclaimed dedication to a particular ideology to what's supposed to be an independent review of Government services (although at least at the time, 2005-2006, he had no previous ties to the Government, 4 out of 6 members of the review board had in fact occupied government positions previously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

localyokel Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Well some of the PC stuff was a bit un-PC. I'm sure we can guess who had the sense of humour bypass as no comments appear about them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Yes I mean in this thread, as an example it looks like I was replying to myself earlier this evening. And I almost never do that. As an example is it only the rather ungallant comments that were aimed at Mrs Crowe, that are subject deletion, or is there another issue also that is causing trouble?

Freggyragh Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 The thread seems quiet, but maybe there isn't much more to say. Dick Horsnell seems quite open about his views, and Peter Karran, obviously knowing the guy, thinks he is a suitable candidate for MLC. I've been quiet because I've been reading up on UKIP - very entertaining. . Mind you, Dick Horsnell's single issue gripe seems to be the EU - and not some of the crankier views associated with UKIP. I can see his point there, although I'm mostly in favour of the EU - (wish I had the same rights of establishment enjoyed by full British citizens though).
