That does not surprise me , on FB most days people are asking advice on moving over, schools, housing etc and they have employment sorted already. He used the phrase 'economically active people entered the workplace'. Not the same as inward migration. 178 job roles offered through the relocation scheme. And strangely quoted 98 planning applications for various sized planning applications. Really clutching for stats to justify his silly island plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young talented people should inevitably want to get away and build their professional and life experience somewhere bigger than here. Maybe coming back in their 30s or 40s. Nobody should be settling down here until they have lived away for at least a few years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardworking manx natives? Is that a dichotomy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on how you view profit, as Treasury (the shareholder, AKA Taxpayers) are into it for what 300 million profit seems some way away !

If you took the total debt of an organisation into account against the yearly profit there wouldn't be many declaring a profit or dividends at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really clutching for stats to justify his silly island plan. And didn’t use the only metric which really matters- net migration. Presumably because it falls short of target to such an extent that it can’t be massaged, so has to be hidden from view. Or and sadly more likely. They don’t know. Which suggests launching a strategy with no means of knowing if it’s working 🥳 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Ponzi scheme by its very nature relies on new members constantly being recruited to keep it going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
