mollag Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Like Manx Radio, we will be having this same conversation in 10 years time, Money pits liberally supplied from the Public purse. God forbid it should be spent on the Public. Who wouldn't get used to free money on a regular basis ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large sections of our society have become accustomed to existing/relying on liberally distributed public money on a regular basis. Some of them very wealthy. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 A very highly qualified person with extensive experience appointed as Chairman.

offshoremanxman Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I thought someone said this guy was on coke not from coke. Honestly can’t see him lasting any time at all with that CV. He’ll work out it’s a total croc in 3 weeks. https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/coca-cola-boss-takes-over-as-chairman-of-the-abattoir-626431 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already on the Electoral Commission, so clearly on the local great-and-good list. And being resident he'll no doubt have an idea what he's letting himself in for. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I'd wish him well because he's going to need all the help he can get when he tries to implement any changes he's identified as necessary, as others have discovered in the past. I've lost count of the number of management changes there's been up there, all to no avail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what goes on up there, all I see is what is presented in the shops, and what I see is an extremely substandard, thrown together, poorly packaged, poorly butchered, product. If that’s their final product, I’d hate to see what’s behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only alternative to running the meat plant which will always need a subsidy is closing it & relying solely on imports which could see demise of more farmers and complete reliance on boats sailing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they written by AI? Person appointed is always 'excited' or 'delighted'. Minister always says they have 'passion' and 'knowledge'. etc etc Edited July 14, 2023 by Moghrey Mie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More bets being hedged this time maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
