Whatever happened to the principle of Parliamentary Privilege, or does that not apply. (Genuine question)

Not to matters that are sub judice.

Shut down Joney Faragher as well. Utter joke.

In summary it's all the civil services fault don't blame CoMin.

Well, here are the OHR list of Roles and Statutory Functions: https://hr.gov.im/about-us/public-services-commission/

No mention about accountability to the GMT.

These are currently a one-way ticket to misdaventure without impunity.

Ahh ..... 'sub judice'.
Bonzo has just been on Mannnin LIne pointing out that sub-judice was defined in Tynwald some years ago and has a different meaning in Tynwald than it does in Westminster and indeed it's general meaning.

But is this matter sub judice - when the tribunal has ruled. There are matters outstanding - what remediation Dr R is due, issues about the government's disclosure of documents but the core issue is settled.

Cannan , today shows his true colours . Ex Military. I have lots of respect for anyone who serves but clearly he lost his backbone along the way. Limp and spinless and full of bullshit. Yes the issue is lots to do with CS and yes HR is a problem as clearly they are cupable for many appointments. But Skelly's stance in preventing questions is just wrong. Ashford not standing down says it all about him as a person. What promised lots today has ended up as same same ! . Looks like we have another usless ineffective CM !

It does in the UK.

The Ryan Giggs case has mentioned on the floor of the UK Parliament by John Hemmings MP when a gagging order was in place to protect proceedings.

Just another day in the governance of Corruption Island then - although it has taken the moral standing to a new low IMHO.

Now we see the true machinations of Tynwald and the wheres and whys of its appointments.

Why do you think they put Skelly in the President's position?

Worth every penny of his £70k pa to one or two people in that House today.

Which is precisely why he's there, let's face it, he's been fuck all use for anything else during his entire Tynwald career. And now he doesn't even have to face the electorate. Rewards indeed.

I've always managed to restrain myself, but has anyone got any suggested insults I loudly growl at him now?

 

Cunt.

 

 

Not particularly helpful but a fair reflection of my opinion of him....

[Manx Resident]

With the Chief Financial Officer moving to cover for the departing Chief Secretary who will be advising the Treasury Minister, will his financial acumen (remember the DBC Bubble Gum cleaner) be sufficient for him to run the Treasury without input from professionals.

[SleepyJoe]

Somebody who is happy for Treasury to allow Cannan CoMin to run a deficit budget until the end of this administration?

He is bringing in a crack team of advisers consisting of Jordan Belfort, Nick Leeson and despite being fictional Gordon Gecko

There’s still a comment up under the Greenhow story on IOM Newspapers that just says that. They seem to be leaving it up for posterity.
