Fred the shred Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Reported on 9.00am news on MR. Apparently the private jet that was or was not carrying the Wagner fella was registered in the Isle of Man. How they came about that little nugget I do not know.

Very old news, and your comment is inaccurate. It was M-SAAN from 6/11/2018 to 1/10/2019, so it was previously registered here, but it had not been on the IOM register for almost four years. I saw this reported quite widely about an hour after it fell out of the sky. I've no idea why MR didn't report it then, it they thought it was relevant as local news. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NPM have no news to report, or a rationing any news to suit their own agenda. Mind you if they and IOMG wish to boast of super yachts and private jets, especially ones which were previously own/leased by oligarchs and other undesirable individuals, there would be lots of articles they could produce. Remember two years ago, the NPM, IOMG, Politicos and social media were agog when Super Yacht A visited the island. Not forgetting the furore that Lewis Hamiltons private jet caused. All publicity, irrespective of whether it’s negative. Edited September 2, 2023 by 2112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omobono Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Everyone in the corporate service industry knew the Isle of Man had lots of aircraft and Yachts owned by eastern europeans ,a perfectly legitimate business operation prior to the war in Ukraine and the introduction of sanctions and restrictions against certain high net worth individuals the assets were managed by Local companies , that business has gone and much of it taken over by Malta and Dubai , Billions of pounds worth of business has also left the city of London , everyone knew Yachts and aircraft owned by wealthy Russians were formerly here , is the Isle of Man newspapers just looking for another headline ? its time they found some real up to date news stories 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Mexico Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Manx Radio's weekend news stories are notorious for their slowness and vague air of desperation. For example one court report published this morning actually appeared on the newspapers' site last Sunday (and possibly in print before that). My favourite recent one though was two Saturdays ago with the headline No reports of people stripping for sunflower photos on IoM. They're probably safer reporting on things that don't happen.

How many more times ? If you mean Manx Radio then please please call it thus. Not NPM. Those of use of a certain age get confused thinking you mean NSM, a product that was in place of, or partially in place,of tobacco in cigarettes in the 1980’s. It didn’t take off.

It's you who needs to get used to it. The days of paper and quill have gone. That said, @2112, it's wearying reading it. It's not even true any more. Since they had their falling out with government they're a lot more critical, all be it in a passive aggressive fashion, and who can blame them for that when they're held over a barrel regarding their on-going funding. It's an unhealthy relationship when they are supposed to be our nation's station. ONS, if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
