Manx financial scam: Chinese Filipino Boilerhouse
ian rush replied to Chinahand's topic in Local News
It was a country club and as ever with something with DfEinvolved, a complete shit show. Brought in a load of low fruit work, got the awards, fucked off and left someone else clean up the mess and ultimately damaged the Island’s reputation. Rutherford was deputy CEO whilst Steve Brennan was there. -
If this place is anything to go by it’ll be a referendum on key issues like cyclists, 20 zones and sacking public servants. The whole point of referendums (supposedly) is to vote on constitutional and/or moral issues. That said, most of the time a referendum is a cop out political device.

So you were on the wrong side of the road and expecting someone on the other carriage way to give way? To be honest when I’m riding I don’t often expect stuff to be coming towards me on my side of the road. At least if it’d been a 20 zone you might not be on here bitching eh?

Motorists pay whereas cyclists don’t because it’s an excise duty for owning a vehicle with an engine, not a road tax or a road usage tax. But then the sort of people who are too thick to know that are just the sort who want to tax cyclists.

Anti state, but probably claiming a pension.

Ah yes, John Lovelady, the man who can’t finish the Crosby estate and a driving force behind Crogga. Who’s going to clean up the mess on that site in Port Erin…?

Each of three pints in a round on Friday was shite. Poretti both flat and tasted shite, Carling warm and flat. I guess for anything that can’t be fucked up like spirits it’d be ok but I’d prefer something that tastes alright than a notional saving. Told the staff it was shite as well but didn’t seem arsed.

No change for Josem to be outing someone for anti-semitism if they dare to question anything about the actions of the Israeli state, but at least this time Clueit doesn’t have an employer for MJ to go scuttling off to.

Don’t worry the magic gas beans are still under the sea. Exxon and BP are flying delegations in next week for a winner takes all bidding shoot out. Chris R is backing a few wrong horses at the moment with this shit show and the Peel RSTW appeal.

Wannenburgh voted against so I assume he’s going to come up with some ideas about what to genuinely cut (biggest spends are health, education, old age pension btw) but we can expect the usual gallery playing about under performance, bloat, efficiencies, middle managers etc. Him and KLB starting to get ready for the General Election way ahead of anyone else…

Private sector very often pays staff lesser wages with job insecurity and a layer of bloat in the company screwing government down on the contract. After all, it’s far better that there’s profit to extract rather than paying staff well and delivering a decent service.

Net gain of 1,300 Island residents since 2021, figures show

As big an issue as absolute numbers on available housing is the decline in average household size. -
Too many riding freelance off the lanes and treating the heathland as fair game. Tough shit. seen loads of them on the railway lines out to greeba, appledene etc.

DfE and Cabinet Office get what they want whereas the rest of Government is rooting round for savings.

So basically none of you have a clue…
