Max Power 6,556 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I just came across this blog which was shared by Kate Beecroft on Facebook, it paints a rather disturbing picture of the Isle of Man and its handling of the man who was a law unto himself due to his wealth. https://newsnightblog.wordpress.com/author/newsnightblog/ It's pretty long and older members probably remember this sad tale which resulted in the untimely death of the man who exposed him on a similar forum to this. I'm surprised Gubay was allowed to die a peaceful death! 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Non-Believer 12,832 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Another man of money who could do no wrong in the eyes of IoMG. Rules bent and disregarded and a Parliament provenly misled amongst other things, all in the name of money tinted glasses. These things should not be forgotten and allowed to slip entirely from public view. They should be wheeled out and revisited periodically in the name of lessons in how not to conduct. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frances 363 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I've said several times that I believe the current 'ministerial' structure of government was deliberately engineered to produce an unaccountable executive with complete absence of any critical oversight - add to this the complete absence of any investigative press on Island together with as Gubay + others (eg in gagging this forum) have demonstrated that on Island we have the best justice system that money can buy - it doesn't need brown envelopes but merely application of influence in a small community that affects employment etc. 3 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snorri 57 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Gubay was the real victim in all of this. Drower was a pawn in an underhanded smear campaign against Gubay. But let's not allow facts to get in the way of rewriting history to exonerate yourselves. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
