joeyconcrete Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I seen this story a while ago, and its since appeared on IsleOfMan.com; A former deputy chairman of giant mining group Anglo American has sparked fierce criticism over comments he made about the Isle of Man. http://www.isleofman.com/News/article.aspx?article=17802 Since then, I spotted the actual interview; “The Isle of Man. There are no Muslims, no blacks. It’s got a good health-care system. It rains a lot, but so what? I’ll get under-floor heating and I’ll get a good mackintosh … I’m going to the Isle of Man, for Christ’s sake.” http://www.thetimes.co.za/News/Article.aspx?id=1032826 Nice - it's probably a good thing all South Africans aren't like that.

joeyconcrete Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Perhaps the phrase I’m Going To The Isle Of Man, For Christ’s Sake could be utilised by the DTL in their advertising campaign. Plenty of photoshop opportunities there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he's quite a nice South African And he's hardly ever killed anyone And he's not smelly at all. That's why they put him prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.K. Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 This guy is an idiot and he does not represent the opinion of all South African people Exactly, he's only representing the white people... Sorry- perhaps I did not word my post very clearly. When I said all I meant black and white people. Based on the time I spent in SA and all the folks I met there here is my guestimate of how many black SA citizens have an opinion on the IOM: None at all...
