Radiolistner Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 1 hour ago, 2112 said: An article in today’s Sunday Times, where it is reported that Baroness Mone has hired a bodyguard because of threats and abuse. The IOM Constabulary are also aware of the threats and abuse, however, there will probably be a lot more if IOM Constabulary have provided her with taxpayer funded protection. Threats and abuse but last week she was still driving around town is a totally ridiculous Rolls Royce Cullinan (a ludicrous vehicle) like she owned the place. She can’t feel that threatened.

She can’t read the room, and adapt her behaviour. It’s like she’s rubbing her ‘wealth’ in peoples face. Hardly endearing herself in the court of public opinion.

Fred the shred Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I doubt she would need protection over here it wasn’t our health service she screwed , I doubt she is on the Island much anyway and I don’t believe a Scot would put their hand in their pocket to the tune of £3000 a day for this top guy to organise protection. This is a typical Daily Mail gutter press story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to learn to drive ‘like I own the place’ so I’m interested to see the skills and behaviour required. Not sure my old Audi will draw enough attention though. Oh, and I don’t own the place.

Steve_Christian Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Interesting that 30 years ago the rich were admired (generally), now it’s a bit rude to be rich. But in this case with the scandal I get it. It’s more a general point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, according to RR she'll have a certain air of "authority", whether that translates into owning the place could be open to debate: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Gay'n Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 This might be worth another thread, but our little island is associated with another PPE scandal, with the case already lost in the US (appeal failed) and stories of the company owner having 'done a runner', assets in the Isle of Man frozen and a big old house in Port Soderick abandoned and now up for sale. Gef ran with this, and the newspaper covered it briefly, but little else. Then again, the owner always stayed close to government... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
