He’s now managed to get three pages of aggressive and distracting gibberish in so that any post which mentioned the accusations of corruption and other questions relative to Jason Scales claims are now three pages away so few will now bother going back to them. Which seems to be the entire purpose of the last few pages of frankly total bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriT Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 7 hours ago, FANDL said: Yes a specific address was referred to in the texts published so really it can’t be hard for any of this to be properly investigated. The funniest part of it all that wasn’t mentioned above is that the DBC councilor who Scales says he approached apparently told him Wells had been looking into it and that she was apparently a hard hitting lawyer used to this sort of stuff. He was somewhat surprised to be informed of the below and to understand that she actually works in a fairly low level IT job at IFGL. If that is true then it perhaps suggests that absolutely nothing was investigated at all and yet more bullshit was applied to simply try to make him go away. So whoever it was at DBC lied and tried to pretend that that they had a serious lawyer looking into it rather than a part time aromatherapist?

The main issue is likely this. The councilors have no control over anything. They turn up for meetings and put on a show to create the illusion that they are in charge but they likely are most certainly not in charge of anything and most people underneath them have no respect for them anyway. Some of the worst companies you see are the ones where the non executive directors turn up and rubber stamp everything to give the illusion of independent oversight when basically there is none. The fabricated “lawyer” story is consistent with that. I believe Wells’ employer is currently weighing up whether people should actually report into her in future as she has fairly appalling management skills in her day job. So I’d guess exactly the wrong sort of person you’d want in any sort of decision making role sitting over a multi million pound budget in a local authority where people who can never get sacked really won’t give a toss about some shouty idiot who thinks they run the place. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majkul Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 For all these taxpayers' millions thrown around with no results, the "city" of Douglas would have been better off buying Erling Haaland (apparently only cost £51m), and make him do keepie-uppies on the unfinished promenade. That would have brought in those 500,000 tourists. Easy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoops Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 On 2/5/2023 at 9:55 AM, Asthehills said: I would have thought someone who had studied law would be just the sort of person we wanted to be honest, you know, to understand and set laws and stuff. I guess it just shows you will never please everyone but the point stands that someone who has studied law and has a successful career making six figures plus in a life insurance business for example is unlikely to want to Jack that in for 60 something k. Which is a shame, because personally those are the sort of people I would like to be representing me and making major decisions that impact mine and my kids lives. If other people are happy with people who see an MHKs salary as a jump up from what they are used to, then that probably explains the state the island is in. How's this going?🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reasonably representative. The only oddity for Manx politics is that there is not a farmer in sight, but then it is the bit city. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asthehills Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Just now, offshoremanxman said: It hardly fits the mix asthehills proposed in his abridged thesis on the sort of people allegedly needed in Manx politics. I was talking about people who would be prepared to drop to a 60k salary. Not people who play politics as an unpaid hobby either when retired or against their actual paid job.
