When it suits. That's the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I get the impression that some people don't actually care about what the alleged corruption is, and the impacts it has had over the years. There's no sign of anyone naming the beneficiaries, pointing out which buildings, even mentioning anything to do with any of it. It's like none of it matters, just so long as they can slate DBC. The posters who keep it going just seem absolutely desperate to me. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the impression that he’s now too busy trying to keep his rap sheet clean for a potential bid for Keys next time round than being concerned about openness or transparency anymore. That and pushing Roundel based news alerts that cover negative issues to do with everything else to to with the IOM except those he might be indirectly responsible for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringy Rose Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) 23 minutes ago, CallMeCurious said: Given how they treated the guy who got stuck abroad during Covid lockdowns and the tribunals revelation about the HR department and managements attitude and the recent off hand dismissals of some ratepayers genuine concerns about changes to the bin collections, is it any wonder people would be hesitant to engage with these people directly. I wouldn't expect any investigation to be completed quickly, and I'd be more worried if DBC did come out and say there was nothing to see so quickly. We've seen time and time again that sending texts to yourself is the easiest thing in the world, so I'd not be putting a lot of faith in Scales' tweet given he's not actually shared anything with the police or FIU. I can't help but wonder why that may be. I'd agree about DBC's HR, though. Maybe if they'd been similarly circumspect before they'd have saved us thirty grand.

That's what was reported by Gef, and nobody has said anything since to suggest that Gef's reporting was incorrect. Maybe he has and the police- normally so quick to publicise these things- have kept quiet this time. More likely, all Scales has done is fling some muck around and, if there is actually any genuine wrongdoing, just tip off the miscreants.

0bserver Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Thing is, if the allegations were untrue/unfounded, then you can be sure as hell that Wells and Co. would be howling like a banshee from the roof of the townhall. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like @0bserversays. Much like the dodgy email situation, you can bet your left nut that Wells & co would be on the counterattack by now. It's been 4 weeks since the tweets and supposedly many months since a councillor was first told about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is all directed at DBC as an entity, not Frank specifically. He's a part time unpaid Councillor. I don't mean that disrespectfully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
