Who are the vested interests specifically?

That could equally just be fluff to make a bigger case to planning. The submission could have said 15 or 50m. It wouldn't make it right.

Lol.

Does 3fm provide anything other than basic music content really?

It's hardly politically radical is it? On the basis politics in general on the island is at best amateurish I don't see how there is some huge political conspiracy agenda at work here. It seeks a better IOM. No big deal there. Manx Radio joins it. And on the whole seems to seek a better IOM. Like I said, you're trying to find issues that don't exist.

It doesn't really miss your point. If you think they have a bias or view about what is best for the island and you think it isn't the correct view then what is best for the island? Virtually every sector of business is represented by the way (in relation to their 'view')

What is then?

Well that'll be two of us then given your brain cell count.

I think you are looking into it far too deeply James. The Chamber has a number of members from retail, law, insurance, engineering, telecoms, banking, IT, eGaming, travel to name a few. All of those sectors and companies employ huge numbers of people. And those sectors support or are interlinked with everything else. It isn't about minority interests of a few. Far from it really. As for Manx Radio joining - it looks straight forward to me. It's an opportunity for them to sell their services to a ready made audience and one bit of business covers the fee. I don't really agree that the chamber is hugely agenda drive aside of just really wanting what is best for the island.

I think you completely don't understand what the Chamber is about or does.

How do they represent a minority group?

The CoC is made up of a wide ranging number of businesses. Do you actually know anything about it?

Is that part of the 24 hour stint he's doing for Dream Catcher?

Not really fuckleberry

Oh wow. Ok. A whole twelve quid or so a week.

How much is the annual fee?

I think what you also need to factor in is that Butt took the press release and no doubt rooks snippets of it to suit his own agenda. Look at the tone of the article. So what you are seeing is probably about ten percent of what was actually provided to the newspaper with the rest twisted and mangled to make little sense.

Seems like a sensible and logical progression to more online content. The article comes across like the writer is on the blob or something.

I’m not religious in any way. Having been to a number of 12 week scans I was really just trying to correlate my feelings (having experienced both great and awful news) to your 14 week view. I don’t have an agenda as such and you’ve explained your thought process. Which I understand and have some agreement with. We are not miles apart at all on our views I suspect.

Not really. Although I do understand the need for people like you to have people thinking for them. It’s safer.

14 weeks? Have you ever been for a 12 week scan?

In all fairness whilst I'm not particularly supportive of wholesale abortion there was certainly a case for you to have been the subject of one and tye world would have definitely been a better place for it.

Are the responses verified or can people simply provide multiple responses ( in a Manx Forum style)?

Not Him. Comedy with James Franco. Cringey amusing.

I think one of the biggest problems is the cost for regional airlines trying to operate out of sizeable airports. I can't see how operating out of Heathrow for example is viable.
