Manx Taxpayer's Alliance

[Chef Raekwon]

Looks like Josem's latest political move, can't seem to find out who else (if anyone) is involved though:

Looks very similar not just in name to the widely-criticised UK Taxpayers Alliance, so will be interesting to see where this goes.

Jesus, the IOM should join the pacific trade group.

Not only do we have the bloody English over here trying to make us look more like England, the fecking Australians are wanting us to join Australia.

I know where this is going, down the "dunny".

I refer to the honourable gentleman's previous reply.........it's 'Dunny'

It's going nowhere unless Mr. Josem has the statistics/data and people who can dissect it and turn it all into a cogent argument and hold IOMG's feet to the fire. Simply saying that IOM should join the CPTPP because it's a jolly good idea is not really what a taxpayer's alliance should be about.

I think Josem is just the spokesman, apparently there are several people behind it?

Well I hope they'll identify themselves otherwise that wouldn't be a good start would it?

You don't see the irony in having to do that when one of their goals is around openness and transparency?

Not really, looking at their website they are looking for donors, should everyone who gives them a fiver be named?

Well if it's anything like the UK Taxpayers Alliance, transparency will be something that is for other people, not themselves.

Similarly paying taxes.

And are they all shady right-wing nut jobs like the English equivalent?
