I got my confimation ,after hearing it also weeks ago , a week  ago from a current MHK , again like your experience,  in a public place and zero subtlety.  

Oh for goodness sake, stop being a drama Queen and just tell us what you’ve heard. If it’s as common knowledge as you say it is, you’ll hardly be breaching the official secrets act.

Acronyms, possibly, rather than conspicuously old fashioned?

Nope - if that’s what it is I can mock until the person hiding or lying fronts up - I am 100% behind up front honest people. I have homosexual people in my family we’re all mocking the farmer getting outed - as should you

The Chief Minister seems to have escaped the Two Ronnies only to fall into the hands of Roy Chubby Brown.

If there is a MF award for post of the year, that has to be a contender. This thread has to be amongst the best of the year.

I refuse to believe it!  We can't have an MHK with a good Manx name such as Quayle from an old fashioned constituency like Middle involved in That Sort Of Thing.

When ‘people in power’ commit ‘indiscretions’, and then try to keep it all hush-hush, things can easily become more than just facile tittle tattle. Potentially, these people could become vulnerable to blackmail (admittedly on the IOM the cat normally gets out of the proverbial bag pretty quickly).

The trouble with the argument that ‘they are human beings and are entitled to their privacy’ is that if ‘politically powerful’ do wish to hide the truth about their private lives, they are usually able to exercise their (sometimes) enormous influence to the detriment of others. Under some circumstances this could lead to tarnished decision-making, outright corruption, other nefarious actions being taken, or they could be taking risks that they do not fully understand (you only need to think about the concept of ‘politically exposed persons’ …the higher people are, the further they have to fall).

It seems to me that if prominent public figures find themselves under personal scrutiny, they should come clean before things (could) get very messy.

It sounds like our politicos are being compromised by Rushen agents.

Agree with all you say, except for one aspect and that is tittle tattle on the internet is often the equivalent of a trial by media.  Particularly on here where people are hidden by anonymity.  Also, it rarely is the right forum for the 'accused' to respond, conveniently some would say.

In the absence of illegality, it really boils down to the individual "doing the right thing".  If on the other hand there is illegality, that is a different matter.
