Get ready for more inflation and a further increase to combat the inflation and then more (surprise, surprise) inflation...

Not only do we have a peat tractor, we have a peat "team" as well as contractors.

The difficult financial decisions are yet to hit defa obviously 

A small thread/subject bump...a nice selfie from a Peatland and Upland Carbon Officer and an Upland Ranger as well, no less.

Absolutely amazing, the titles on the Govt payroll when Govt's got no money, presumably two of the 700 recent recruits...?

Selling peat was banned in Ireland years ago.

 Irish law enforcement continues its excellent job 😂

Extraction still legal for domestic and commercial use but being phased out apparently

What exactly do these made up non important jobs do or achieve, how do they fill in there weekly job sheets. There far to many talking bollocks achieving nothing except the odd pie chart within government, redeploy these people to sort out footpaths or right of ways then at least there actually doing something. The IOM PLC is fast heading to hell in a handcart.

Reported on 3FM, but not (so far) on Manx Radio:

https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/doi-has-more-than-400-car-parking-spaces-for-government-workers/

So, lets say 350 places around the main part of Douglas. If they were charged at the theoretical commercial rate of £1,000 per year that would be about £350,000 per year lost income.

 

if you opened them up to the public so people could come into Douglas to shop and enjoy hospitality sector   they would probably generate  more than £350,000 in VAT the lack of parking and access is slowly killing off the city,
