No doubt the profits from his fx training school will already be amassing tax free inside his IOM holding company. Just the sort of publicity hungry online spiv that would be attracted here by low tax rates. He’ll work out shorty though that he’ll be exposed fairly quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they haven’t adjusted the living wage for inflation, so it’s pretty meaningless. The 30p will be more like £1.80.

Non-Believer Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 It'll be a charity shop probably 🙄 Newsons were never the same after they moved off North Quay (IMHO), they used to sell reasonable quality stuff at a reasonable price in NQ, when they moved into Strand St they went "up market" certainly with the prices although they most likely had a rent hike to match. Sad loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be anything to do with the new developments in the catchment area and little chance of expanding the workforce to cope with growing demand? It'll be interesting to see how Hooper and Manx Care spin this one. 5 months to transition to a new provider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
