There's enough standing from what I've been informed to make sure you lot of clowns can't walk in again . Cannot wait to see the end of Wells and her political hopes . Horrible woman who doesn't represent anyone but herself . But I guess that's what we get not bothering to vote . Fingers crossed everyone has learnt Edited August 19 by Manxieover65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a Port Erin Commissioner who lived in Ramsey and the previous Leader of Douglas lived in Braddan for many years. At least three of the Port Erin board don’t live in the village. The place means so much to the Chairman he moved to Foxdale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't heard the justification before, there are already enough things with Nobles name on so it's fine. What would she say if we went to her town in South Africa and started removing Nelson Mandelas name from everything? I'm aware that I've just compared a wealthy businessman to Nelson Mandela, but it was purely illustrative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t aware that the plan was to remove Noble’s name from “everything”. As a library user, I don’t care what it’s called - it certainly wasn’t called after HBN when I joined it. Seems like a manufactured “outrage issue” with which to beat the council - as if there weren’t enough real issues… 1 hour ago, cissolt said: I'm aware that I've just compared a wealthy businessman to Nelson Mandela, but it was purely illustrative.

FANDL Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 On 8/16/2024 at 10:51 PM, Gladys said: You do understand the difference between the councillors and the employed officers and staff? Do you? You appear to get confused in the rush to justify their activities. As the now published 2023 accounts attest DBC was the victim of a cyber fraud which lost the council £25K in January 2023. This seems to be on or around the exact same time as the leader made her public hacking claims. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/douglas-borough-council-leader-allegedly-hacked/ It might look to the casual observer that one was rather used to mask the other as nobody appears to have ever made a public statement that £25K was stolen from the ratepayers due to a lack of governance by council workers who appear to have paid a fraudster. Just that the leader was allegedly “hacked” in relation to a claimed meeting. Smoke and mirrors but the auditors conclusions are clear. In January 2023 the council was the victim of a £25K cyber fraud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldon Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Quote An extra step has been added to the payment process to prevent recurrence. Might that be "Don't change bank details on email instructions without separate verification"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
