2112 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Just now, Declan said: If you want to keep potentially sackable behaviour private don't post it to facebook. 100% agree. It’s still not the medias role to publicise a story, unless a criminal offence has occurred and the individual has been charged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s my view, but others are free to disagree. Under normal circumstances I'd agree with you but this joker went public with it to begin with. Hence the employer's initiative to issue a public statement that he was sacked as a result. Maintains their integrity, or something along those lines. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Manx Radio report probably got him more views/likes/shares, which is probably what he wanted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 It may even come to light that the coffin was, er, unoccupied, that it was merely a prop in a prank which has unfortunately backfired on the silly git.

So are they only supposed to publish news stories that meet with your editorial approval? You always have the option of not reading it. It would never have happened under the watch of Tim Glover... it would have been a story about covid numbers in schools and how DESC is failing.

Max Power Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Quite a few on FB saying that he's a nice guy, egged on by his girlfriend to make the video who then posted it on there as revenge. Still shouldn't have done it. Interestingly, some of the vigilante's fan club were calling for his hard drive to be seized, whatever that is? It goes to show, don't go around looking different or 'they' will grab anything hard! Edited January 13, 2022 by Max Power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a nice guy when I knew him, not spoken to him for about 10 years mind (didn't even recognise him in the MR story photo!). I'd imagine driving a hearse for a living gives you a bit of an odd relationship with death. Still, clearly poor form. Not that I'd be arsed if I was the one in the back, but I can see why some would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
