thesultanofsheight Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Jesus just look at that ridiculous costume and chain. He looks like some Dickensian serial killer straight out of Horrible History's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Isn't it time to end this whole sorry business ? Trumpton Town Hall or what ? For all our sakes the nation's capital needs proper leadership and better brains than this. Nothing personal against the new Mayor, but surely we can, and have, to do better if the Island is to have any future at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I'd be a bit embarrassed if I had to take my mother everywhere as Mayoress. Somewhat reminds me of that 'Timothy Lumsden' character played by Ronnie Corbett in 'Sorry'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piebaps Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 What is the salary? (for both) Nothing - Councillors get £30 per meeting for attendance if they claim it. Otherwise everything they do is for nowt. Accounts are all here http://www.douglas.gov.im/btdownloads.asp Can't see any reference to the much talked about Mayoral booze cabinet though.

prism10 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 It always amuses me that people think that the Mayor has political power. The leader of the council makes the decision. The Mayor is a ceremonial role, normally given to a long serving councillor for a year before it goes to the next long serving councillor. The mayor chairs the council meetings and attends public functions which can be many in any given week. Not sure why people would mistake the mayor has the person with real political power?
