Amadeus Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 7 hours ago, 2112 said: Very eloquently expressed, and summed up nicely. The sad thing is that some will deny that there is nothing wrong, and everything on the island is tickety boo, and booming. I don’t think that going to Malta, even if ‘it doesn’t cost the taxpayers’ is vital or essential. Some taxpayers on the island may not be able to afford little luxuries this year, especially a holiday ………… off the island. As Roger put it a bit further up, trade shows are important and can mean new business. It’s nice to be able to pull someone from IOMG into a conversation and often makes a great impression. Of course the person needs to reasonably know what they are talking about, but the detailed stuff is left to the private sector anyway. Take ICE in London for example. Great to have Digital and the GSC there plus political members. You gotta spend money to make money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fool and his money..... Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 That's the trouble with capitalism, you never run out of other people's money, just keep rinsing them for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyone Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 19 hours ago, Gizo said: To be fair to Vice Admiral Watterson I’m sure his expenses are next to nothing each year. (Except paracetamol, once) he is not the mhk to be beating a stick with on this subject. There are about 23 others who you really should be venting this at. He actually has a white navy uniform that he wears ( you know like officer and a gentleman ) , I kid you not as I saw him disappear in to a loo at Glasgow Airport in civvies and reappear like he was auditioning for Village People. True. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyone Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 12 hours ago, Stu Peters said: Yeah, but I wouldn’t ask to go to Manila. Here’s a thought; elect MHK’s every five years and support them instead of instantly trying to pull them down, question their integrity or sanity and call them stupid. I’m going to spend less time on here because it depresses me. That’s not a flounce, but a realisation that colleagues have been right who have been telling me for years that I’m wasting my time trying to explain or debate on social media. Don’t do it then , be an MHK that is. You’re right it’s a thankless task in this day and age. Being an MHK that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with what you’re describing, my issue is with the political conferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're clutching at straws with anything else now. Used to be the case that you could get Govt input, comment, access etc for other stuff. It seems that for whatever reason, they've given up on that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm eagerly awaiting the press release for the internationally renowned yoghurt weavers that will be re-locating to the Island following productive meetings with the Girlies in Malta.
