A fool and his money..... Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 How utterly predictable. This within a few months of 23 of our MHK's taking MG's word for it that they were only going to break even following the rise they voted for. This rebate has been promised by MG for years, it's always someone else's fault that they haven't paid it. Try the same strategy with your gas bill and see how you get on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think every time Rob Callister opens his mouth that nothing sensible comes out. This is going to end up as another IOMG all singing all dancing calamitous fuck up. Wannabe Minister takes on Manx Gas, what could possibly go wrong. The only saving grace is perhaps his constituents in Onchan may wise up in 2026. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats even worse is a little bird tells me its going to cost around £24 million to capture and pump sewerage from Lower Laxey and pump it over the hill ,at an electricity charge not yet calculated , and to a transfer station somewhere in darkest Baldrine , I sincerely one of the Tynwald value for money committees picks this project up and investigates it to see if a its viable , and secondly if its the only solution , and finally if its best value for money , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything that Rob Callister touches or is involved with doesn’t work out. If you want value for money, perhaps the TT scoreboard could have had a bit of TLC and it may have lasted many years, but our Mr TT wanted an all singing all dancing production number, and the Treasury probably thought ‘what planet is this guy on?’ and was rejected on grounds, no business case. So it was a case that the Ministers Apprentice thought he was entitled to blow taxpayers cash on a frivolous non essential item. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tynwald voting on the rise without seeing the accounts or other relevant information. A delay proposed for the relevant information to be found (by Claire Christian during the debate) resisted by ministers. Now being very cagey about communications between MG and the CM. Either there are vested interests in play and a lot more to this than we know. Or it's all above board but it has been and continues to be extremely poorly handled from a PR point of view. You decide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His comments do make you wonder why he voted for the rise though? Because its a private limited company. That's how the law works. Why would they volunteer to do something that silly. There is a contract. That's all that matters. Their obligation is to work within the contract to maximise their profit. We are being very naive. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New regulations going to Tynwald today so price rises April 1st , what’s the guess ! I’m going for 40% plus 25% electricity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
