You can see in his second response he knows exactly what its about. I am in absolute shock at the sheer contempt of the guy.

TheTeapot Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Why does the IoM Government get a private legal firm to issue their threats when the AGs office already employs a bunch of lawyers? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Ranson case it was due to conflict issues. I assume it's all linked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget we had Quayle before this and Bell's 5 year retirement sendoff before that. The last 20 years have been riddled with failure and scandal with the taxpayers invariably getting it in the neck on every occasion. People are pissed off and disillusioned. They aren't paying for these sort of things to be done in their name, they are paying for and expect good governance. None of that includes funding an entire self serving society of a civil service and blinkered, weak politicians doing that society's every bid in order to preserve it. Time for UK to intervene. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 The UK has enough to concern itself with. It won't bother stepping in. It's not worth their while. That might change if they scrap inheritance tax over there.. less reason to protect a tax haven where they kind hide their dirty little secrets. Alternatively, do we have any potential statesmen (or women) in the current crop? I really don't think we do. Christian has shown moments of promise but still seems to be an unknown quantity. The Manx Labour members worship at the altar of NetZero so would be a disaster. JPW seems to be a name that gets thrown into the mix when talking about the next CM. Before the election I though that Lord-Brennan could have been a shout, but she's been lobotomised into the Comin machine (probably always was). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian rush Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 It’s a zombie administration. There’s been a handful of Acts passed and stasis under interim chief execs. Greenhow binned anyone who might have been capable of succeeding him. Who was the last Chief Exec who left under their own steam? The last one I can think of is Ian Thompson in about 2013. Loads of Departments are career graveyards above Director level. How many CEOs has Health had? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
