Augustus Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 14 minutes ago, offshoremanxman said: But Rob totally fucked over Kate Beecroft in almost identical circumstances. That seemed to be ok though. He deliberately undermined his Minister, said that he had no confidence in her, and then she got sacked. Interestingly enough at that time he did another letter to the press ‘explaining’ it all in an attempt to excuse his behaviour. Just like he’s doing now. Can't really agree or disagree. I can't remember all of that saga. My beef here is with the political members pretending to be squeaky clean in this debacle. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree there but RC did exactly the same sort of undermining to his Minister when he was on the DHSC 5 years ago. It’s just childish game playing by people who should have grown up 20 or 30 years ago. But they haven’t as they’re hopeless egotists who think the world revolves around them. Heres a great blast from the past.

Instead of working as a member of a team, singing from the same hymn sheet, reading from the same page, rowing in the same direction…………….they are more interested in undermining, backstabbing and showboating. Clash of Egos? We all knew Rob Callister and his faults, his foibles, his quirks and idiosyncrasies. When he got appointed many posted on here about the length of time he would serve. Many predicted he would flounce, a fall out with other COMIN members. I don’t know whether the CEO of DHSC or Manx Care expressed concerns about competence or incompetence? In all honesty I wouldn’t say an of the COMIN lot are competent. They have political patronage, and if the rumours are believed to be correct, will have their position protected, and beyond criticism. Rob Callister has lost his dream job, possibly as a result of machavellian conspiracy? The questions will now fall on Joney Faragher MHK, Michelle Haywood MHK and Tanya August September MLC. Their possible actions, their decision making will be scrutinised. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashford is a great statesman in waiting , as long as he resists the pull of I’m a celebrity. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The questions will now fall on Joney Faragher MHK, Michelle Haywood MHK and Tanya August September MLC. Their possible actions, their decision making will be scrutinised. To be honest though all Rob is doing is replicating what he did in the private sector for years which was struggle to hold into a job for any real length or time before he was found out to be not very good at it. How many departments has he been in now? He must have been in almost all of them and for only a few months in most. Did he manage less than a month in home affairs at one stage? I get the points you’re making about machavellian conspiracies but Callister isn’t a fair example of that. He’s just an over promoted idiot who always publicly flounces when he’s found out to be an over promoted idiot. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
