Yeah it will. I've said a few times they desperately need another Baines in anticipation of Moneyval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine that they would be subject to restrictions on travel and would be required to surrender passports etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine they can all expect visits soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine they can all expect visits soon. Or they just leave, like the ones that already have. We're losing licencees to other jurisdictions now, like Anjouan, and I think the IOM glory years are coming to an end very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'campus was being built at Victoria Road and I think there are already operations there. Any raids would presumably be made on both locations (and probably others). I suspect that some of the reasons for all this may be immigration-related, but whether that is the main driver I don't know. Either way the Manx Government may not end up looking well out of it in the eyes of the UK. 8 minutes ago, Anthony Ingham said: The poilce probably haven’t thought of that.

The ‘supermarket’ sells Asian foods, not just for Chinese. The IOM has a large Filipino community, working in the Health Sector, Nobles and Care Homex.
