Catrisk Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Apparently their general helpfulness and politeness was their undoing. Someone probably smelt a rat when they were told they could most certainly have a free extra bin and they’d pop it round same day. https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/scamsters-impersonating-town-hall-staff-602171 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one of the building controllers asked someone to pay their fees in Amazon vouchers, or to the local branch of Western Union Bank? 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the standard of politics has got worse and the standard of politico has reached a point where voters despair. In the past, the national political establishment, whilst they were mocked and ridiculed at times, on the whole they were relatively competent. Over the last two administrations, and the likes of Moorehouse, Glover, and Callister being elected, the political gene pool has really scrapped the bottom of the barrel. There are other MHKs who are either obsessed with their own agendas, furthering their own careers, creating their own little fiefdoms and creating their own little empires. It’s reaching a point where they aren’t acting in the islands interest but their own perceived interests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s concerning that some of these jokers might be the MHKs in the next 5 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Peters Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I wonder if there's an equivalent to Moore's Law about how quickly an MF thread can go from (say) 'Do you like sugar on your banana sandwiches' to 'all MHKs are crap'. You want the truth? You couldn't handle the truth...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
