If the article was about them aggressively battering people who owed money it's a different story. As much as both Doug Barrowman and Michelle Mone very much divide opinion, in turn creating negative headlines and publicity which impacts in turn on the island, it can be said the they both seen as fair game and throwing allegations and stories in the hope that something sticks. Besides is this business any different than some of the Manx well known finance companies? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrighty Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I can’t understand why people avoid/evade tax. Somehow we need to change the mentality and become more Scandi/Germanic where paying tax is seen as a good thing, you’re contributing to society and if you’re lucky enough to be wealthy you’re giving something back in thanks for your good fortune. Am I being naive? If I earned millions from selling knickers I’d be delighted to give 20% of it to the government for the greater good. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I've just been reading this thread through back from the start. The plaudits and worship for Mr and Mrs, (from the usual suspects), they could do no wrong and were to be part of the salvation and the hope in what they were going to bring to the Island.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 8 hours ago, Thorulf said: Here is a link to a video of Mr Barrowman buying a new super yacht. The house in the film is the one down St Marks that is for sale for 25Mil. The St Marks place doesn't seem to be up for sale anymore (nor for some time). In one of the unemployment tribunals they faced, there was talk about them moving to Jersey but a sale of it having fallen through. So they're having to slum it here. (I fear Roxanne may be at risk of libel suits from the Japanese adult entertainment industry). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Still not a squeak or a whisper from any of our politicos and leaders about this ongoing farrago. No one dares to. Mouths kept tightly shut despite it involving a wealthy celebrity resident with a multi-million Island property. Not much from the media either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
