It would seem the building of schools is actually Barrowmans foundation making a donation to Action Aid who have used the money to build 8 schools... God when is it 5 o'clock! ACTIONAID Over the past 4 years, Doug has been a major financial contributor towards the building of 8 schools in Africa; 7 of which are in Ethiopia and 1 in Ghana. As a result, over 3,500 children now have access to schooling and sanitary facilities. During 2017, Doug has pledged to get more involved with Actionaid going forward and to work with them on new projects. Apart from the above charities, Doug regularly supports local charities on the Isle of Man, where he lives, ranging from Cancer Care to promoting sport in the community for young people. Don't worry Doug.... only a few more minutes! 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point about Mone's odd phrase is that it doesn't make any sense unless you think white skins are superior to other sorts, in the way that saying someone was a 'waste of skin' or 'waste of breath' wouldn't do. A black person using the equivalent phrase to another would also have racial implications - accusing someone of a lack of solidarity for instance - otherwise that wouldn't make any sense either. The fact that she unknowingly aimed it at someone of mixed race is only telling in that she automatically assumed that anyone else in the circles she was mixing[1] would be white. But the phrase would still be racist if the recipient had been white - though maybe less likely to be called out. The fact that the Guardian (always keen to gatekeep) missed this point was also telling. [1] The row emerged from a fatal collision between two rich people's pleasure craft. Not all rich people are white, in fact there are probably more rich of other ethnic origins. Not to say you are wrong, but just to point out a wrong preconception.

Not to say you are wrong, but just to point out a wrong preconception. I referred to the "circles in which [Mone] was mixing" rather than all rich people anywhere in the World. But indeed, it's really about her preconceptions rather than anyone else's. And I suspect any non-white rich people in her circles will be seen as 'honorary whites'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite, its amazing how money removes any racial distinctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also seems to be in default at the Registry with no Annual Return submitted.... Yep I mentioned the same earlier, CEO of Knox group is a director of the iom and UK companies. I imagine some kind of transfer of services to the iom branch, or wangled consultancy so profit can be booked here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the IOM FSA can investigate allegations outside the island's jurisdiction. Going by what I've read in the local media recently, they also only seem to investigate etc locally regulated entities. If so, PPEM are not licensed by the IOM FSA, according to their website.

Or did you mean ' knowingly ''? The reference to 'Brown Skin' would discriminate between the various combinations black/white, brown/white, Yellow/white and indicate that the reference to skin colour was quite deliberate? Perhaps no more that a drunken Strand St confrontation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
