censorship Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 FFS, is this really the best they can do for the front page of our national newspaper during one of the busiest weeks of the year for visitors? They should just rename it The Manx Daily Sport and have done. Utter shite. (quote from iomtoday) "The main front page story is a bizarre tale of a man who ended up in custody for 24 hours after waving a snake at a woman" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hazard Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 When did that become illegal? Last year And surely waving is a friendly gesture? Thrusting or shunting could be considered a bit bullish though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I do not know one under thirty that buys local papers, perhaps it is the computor age or perhaps they are just not interested in what is going on locally, but whatever if these papers last beyond another 5 years I will be very surprised.

censorship Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Top story on iomtoday right now is this... Apparently also on the front page of the Courier. I mean, FFS, isn't this just taking the piss? Its a private (English-owned) business, so they can do what they like, but this is just fucking embarrassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an utter shitrag isle of man newspapers produces. why do people advertise in it? Fucking atrocious If people and especially IOMG didn't advertise then the newspaper would fold - job losses! Also IOMG would lose another mouthpiece. There would also be no awards for excellence night at the Villa............ incidentally business and government will indulge in mutual backslapping - job well done. Only success matters and failure is swept under the carpet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
