Please send me any evidence and information about the legal arguments in this case that you think I might not know. there's nothing to send you then , you probably 'know' already, what gets not done about things is the issue. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DoI didn't even bother to look for the information requested properly and kept no records of what they did. They were equally unhelpful when dealing with the Information Commissioner. Just the same old DoI attitude that they above the law and could do whatever they wanted and certainly have no obligation to carry out what they are employed to do. Edited to add: This was actually going on at the same time as the FoI request discussed earlier in this topic, indeed it was submitted earlier, so it's clearly not a one-off. Though it's possible things have changed, the resistance to letting the public know seems ongoing.

Blade Runner Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 You lot could make a TV program called "The DOI Files" Much the same as the old X Files TV series but in the islands case your government protects government "Secrets" even more than the USA does for Area 52 and the like. That to me says a lot. Either the island has secrets that are bigger than aliens being a real thing, or they are just trying to cover up total incompetence..... Answers on the back of a Postcard to- Chris Thomas C/O DOI HQ "Area 69 " Sea Terminal IOM. Now I think about it the top bit of the Sea Terminal (The Crown) looks a lot like UFO, it is round, it has lights shining out of it at night and it seems to hover at night over the main sea terminal building? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her LinkedIn shows her as being the person responsible for data protection and informationat DOI, (as well as running a bread bakery for many years). It has not been updated to say she is no longer in that role, yet she has a spat on SM. Sure, he is likely a PITA and we don't know the history, or the earlier posts that gave rise to that response. But really it is not her problem any more and she should not have engaged, and not in that fashion. It does raise questions regarding the culture that seems to perpetuate after retirement. ETA if there were genuine posts from her. Edited March 30, 2023 by Gladys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where you're coming from and it does seem like it's an attitude the DoI have prevailing through them, however, there is no getting away from the fact he is a pillock.

english zloty Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 New Chief Officer (then interim) will have authorised the response which will have been prepared by another interim. So that's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
