Invisible Ann emerges from the ether to spout absolute rubbish on a subject she is wholly unqualified to comment on.

This story includes one of the most powerful & persuasive interviews about the trauma of even continuing a family & traditional Manx business I have heard. Thanks so much for encouraging better government addressing the real challenges.

How do you think the Island's tourism offering could be improved? The Welbeck Hotel in Douglas says we're at risk of losing the character of the Isle of Man if government doesn't invest more in local tourism businesses. manxradio.com/news/isle-of-m…



Looky looky some sustainable magic-beans that I want the average Joes pension to fund because government doesn’t have the cash to build this itself despite raising a £400M sustainable bond it spent on nothing. Ever had the feeling you’ve been cheated?

The people who make $700 an hour have convinced the people who make $25 an hour that the problem is the people who make $7.50 an hour.


What other company, anywhere, thinks that the way to get more business is to put up the prices of poor quality services that fewer and fewer people see value in using?

The Isle of Man Post Office is setting out its key objectives which include plans to increase letter prices to address declining volumes and rising costs due to inflation. manxradio.com/news/isle-of-m…

We want a population of 100,000 people. But we don’t want them to use anymore water!

Manx Utilities says its consideration of installing water meters in homes is about reducing water usage, but it also says that no decision has been made #isleofman manx.news/water-meters-n…



Says member of a government which voted to adopt an Island Plan that was centred on immigration but which failed to first upgrade its immigration legislation to manage those coming here. No intermediary regulation, no NHS levy, & no additional oversight from passport office.

Immigration advisors are completely unregulated on the Isle of Man and operate in a 'wild west' environment, the House of Keys has heard. three.fm/news/isle-of-m…



The truth here is that an NHS levy is going to cost us even MORE & they’re worrying how they will be able to fob the public off again having brought in “temporary” measures that have battered low income households that are no longer temporary .. maybe start reducing your costs?

A temporary tax hike of 2% - announced this year as a one-off to fund the NHS - is unlikely to be reversed in the next budget, according to the Island's Treasury Minister. #news #iom three.fm/news/isle-of-m…



This is just greed. Maybe Unite should put a business case forward to explain what value its wonderful protected workers provide to the IOM public for the pay increase they seek?

Unite The Union says its members have rejected the latest three-year pay offer from the government #isleofman manx.news/govt-staff-rej…



You have to ask what has changed given the undying (almost cringeworthy) support the CoC used to give government? The reality is that most businesses here don’t see much of a future .. government is simply over managing and over staffing decline.

Airport loses £9M a year and can’t even provide unbroken chairs. What is the £13.5M a year it costs to run being spent on? Staff who do nothing?

Losses of £8.8million were recorded at Ronaldsway Airport and just under £7million at Bus Vannin over the 23-24 financial year. manxradio.com/news/isle-of-m…



Doesn't even have drivers to provide borderline acceptable services. Still loses £7M a year. What is the public actually paying for?

The Department of Infrastructure's annual report has shown that Bus Vannin cost significantly more to run last year than it made it profits. #news #iom #bus three.fm/news/isle-of-m…



One motion to remove the tax cap another to repeal the 2% tax increase to support the NHS that was actively & openly supported by his own party. Toys out of pram - yet still no suggestion or proposal as to how any of these might be replaced. Impact could well be less revenue!

Another promise broken The deal was this 2% was for a year while treasury worked up a new levy People are quite literally paying for treasury incompetence I’ve tabled a motion for December to ask Tynwald to hold the government to their promise to reverse the tax rise



Shocking really. Can find time to create £600M pipe dream plan to move the airport. Can’t find £2K to replace some disgusting chairs in an already shoddy departures lounge. What are those employed actually doing?

State of this place…

On current trends hopefully the next IOM General Election will be to “Make The IOM Great Again” and we can get rid of many of the current bunch of ineffective virtue-signaling losers.

I think @alfredcannan's notebook/sketchbook/spellbook contains some sort of ancient Manx Ministerial Magic - is this some sort of summoning ritual that will influence Manx politics? Only time will tell.

But never mind this. Let’s get all those ANPR & facial recognition cameras up, and ask everyone to produce a passport before they can come to fortress IOM and watch all the armed police staking out the streets.

The Telegraph has published a list according to its Crime Index #news #isleofman #manxradio manxradio.com/news/isle-of-m…
