No wonder they took it down. That building is cursed. The Louis Group and now this. Its had a revolving door of quality tenants over the years who have eventually all been sent packing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s good though that after having an embarrassing tenant like the Louis Group who generated a huge amount of negative publicity for the IOM they managed to find an even more embarrassing tenant who has sullied our reputation even more. What next for that building? A death cult? An education centre for followers of HM Sole? A Living Hope cathedral? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A limited company that runs a mega church. Lead pastor getting a house and 100K in salary? I'd be wondering myself how legit that was, potentially, if that were me. Allegedly, of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I note they’re saying king and dalmine, but what about all the other companies related? The devil is always in the details. Just because cash hasn't been transferred doesn't mean cash wasn't assigned and approved on the basis of a successful application. The company I work for regularly applies for £££ from DofE and as far as I know, no meetings take place between my bosses boss and DofE. They just fill out the forms and send them in. Then at a later date, when the invoices are in and then submitted to DofE, the cash from DofE arrives. So.... someone needs to do an FOI about the number of business support applications for King Gaming, and how many of thoses were approved or not approved. Details details details....

I have never understood why the Louis Group was never fully investigated and it all published, why some directors of the companies were struck off, then others not. The ICIJ database links all the people https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/. Have the rules and regulations changed for these type of businesses. I not in finance as you can tell.

Details details details.... Nobody should need to do an FOI. Questions asked in the Court of Tynwald need to be answered honestly. That said Moorhouse asked a stupid question it should have been written and structured better to get the right response. Everyone knows these firms got money and everyone knows that government officers were constantly circling around them like flies around sh*t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows these firms got money and everyone knows that government officers were constantly circling around them like flies around sh*t. But we know that any attempt to discuss things in Tynwald will be quickly shut down by invoking the Holy Sub Judice. Probably for the next 20 years. It's more difficult to do that with a WQ because you can see it wouldn't prejudice any possible legal proceedings. As I said above, the question was actually better-written than they usually are. In particular it got the response that "No financial support has been provided, either directly or indirectly". Which will be difficult to wriggle out of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nom de plume Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I’d have thought this fiasco will be the final nail in the coffin for Cannan & Tynwald. Its time Westminster stepped in & disbanded the Keys / Comin. We can suffice with one MP & a new administration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
