Shows how subjective these things are. Because to me I reads like an excruciatingly ham-fisted attempt to try to write a clever polemic. The comparison with The Italian Job utterly fails and gets in the way of whatever it is that the author is actually trying to say. And what the author is trying to say could much more sensibly be condensed into many fewer words. It would have been much better to simply stick to the facts as the author sees them.

Would you believe it was deliberate just to see if you were egotistical enough to read/be offended by it. As for the theme it’s the most widely read piece we’ve done recently. Well over 200 reads in 12 hours. It’s doing the rounds nicely on Facebook now too. Have a great time next Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Facebook group that also keeps spelling my name wrong had obviously shared it. Shame you didn’t fact check before publishing. Like I said, not your finest piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have so much social media reach it should be easy for you to counter any inaccuracies you believe exist. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You published a story loudly claiming something as fact and using it against me and my fellow councillors as the main hook in your story. The onus is on you to check your facts before publishing. That’s first week journalism school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s first week journalism school. With respect we checked our facts on Pitts. He’s actively telling people he didn’t vote for the changes. If that’s wrong then its up to you to prove what was said is wrong. It must be easy for you to publish the outcome of the vote in the public domain surely? There must be an official record that can be published so that people can see for themselves how you all voted? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 12 minutes ago, C Montgomery Burns said: Yes Amadeus has spent years politically throwing crap at people via social media about everything that’s wrong with the IOM, but he is proving to be a little thin skinned about any form of criticism involving anything that centres around himself. I’ve also brought and continue to bring plenty of business to the island and said and written many good things about it. Selective vision? Or is constructive criticism not allowed?
