It seemed to be an odd take on law and order. That sounds like a trendy, wishy washy Islington liberal type, left wing academic thinking. Wealthy HNWIs can cause criminal havoc, but it don’t matter as they can buy their way out, and the Teareconomics says the trickle down effect, will provide jobs to Athol Streets finest. In the meantime, the sctotes causing the real problems will be let off with a caution as society will feel sorry for them. However, minor transgressions such as entering a closed road, will be dealt with by the full force of the law. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Didn’t we have a HNWI who got into trouble, criminally and had embarrassing criminal financial issues, relating to business issues in the UK? Said individual no longer lives here but still leaves a trail. How would a CM treat them? By IOM standards, they get feted, lauded and lionised? Whilst others are punished and ostracised.!

The rest of the Keys aren’t any better. Best of a terrible bunch. Only good thing is the worst CM in IOM history is officially off today - subject to election being carried out and prerequisite conditions met, Edited October 12, 2021 by 2112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off to bed early with no supper would be my guess. Why? He'd normally turn up to the opening of envelope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly bodes well for the future for Wannenburgh if he bottles it on pretty much the first decision that might alienate some of the electorate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
