  1. I have reliably heard from someone who works on construction at King gaming site that the works are shutting down following all the arrests and asset freezes. The news we were waiting for.
  2. Finally some proper journalism. Gef the mongrel, take note
  3. Well thats the King Gaming Campus project becoming another wasteland then. Feel sorry for the contractors, engineers and suppliers involved who will likely lose out if it is cancelled following this investigation.
  4. I am 90% sure this is him. I also think he was in some form of relationship with Clare Christian MHK? https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/business/lets-work-together-to-back-local-economy-235223
  5. The meat plant is in a change of ownership? Does anyone know what that means?
  6. Does anyone else feel like the saying "Theres a boat in the morning" is being less used these days.. I feel this is a sign that more and more people are fed up with the IOM 🚤🚤
  7. Lawrie Hooper now on spewing on absolute verbal nonsense about how Manx Care needs more money and how dire our situation is. Weasel
  8. Upper tax band increased from 20% to 22%
  9. Its the elderly pension population too. The working people will have to pay to fund the pensions, and there wont be enough workers
  10. Due on the 20th February 2024. Manx whispers are that income tax is rising in some sort of way. Lets just say this will go down like a led balloon with the manx public!
  11. Looking at the original 2019 planning agreement, our esteemed DOI decided that there would be a surplus of affordable housing in the south and that only 20 houses would be needed in a development of phase 1 which was approximately 200 homes? They only had 10% then with the remainder paying a fee of £23500 per plot to the DOI in leu of affordable housing. In the current political climate with housing I would wish to hope that the government would enforce the 25% rule
  12. Each house has two parking spaces ?
  13. From my knowledge of working at IOMPost for a few years several years ago, the yodel parcel contract was lost to manx independent carriers in about 2018 but then sub contracted back because they could not handle the extra. They paid post office peanuts in comparison. i think something similar happened with hermes and dpd years before that… if royal mail goes to manx independent, I can see the hermes couriers taking over some of that work, and just having smaller areas to cover with more parcels per street. it also gives manx independent the option to cherry pick where they want to deliver. For example, they may choose to deliver the royal mail parcels within douglas and onchan themselves but leave all the rural parcels which are not profitable to iom post. One things for sure, IOM Post are in dire straights. Glad I got out when I could.
  14. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-67565498 bbc news covering the Ranson case. The big outlets seem to be covering the scandal now. does not exactly paint our island in the best light.
