Jam_Sandwich Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Costs for a 1 bed apartment now with this in a few years £300 Toilet Tax £500 Rates £650 ish Management Fees Chuff owning one. Even as an investment you're kissing goodbye to 3 months of income just paying for it to sit there. Nevermind income tax, mortgage interest and voids. Splash the extra out and get a house or something in else where Edited March 8, 2014 by Jam_Sandwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Perhaps the final slap in the face Houghton proposes a pay rise to ministerial levels for the new chairman of the joint authority Alf. Maybe it is totally justified but this lot are impervious to how something looks when taken in context ! Kerching nice work if you can get it ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Border Terrier Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 When do we get to the lynching stage? Houghton's some kind of martial arts whizz, lynching may backfire. Vote him out at the next election, now that would wipe that supercilious smile off his face. Remember when Earnshaw was 'gonged out'. Still raises a chuckle. TBT.

carbon selector Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure if the Hansard vote has been posted, but here it is anyway: Source - Hansard, Tynwald 19th February 2014 page 1058: That the Sewerage Charge Order 2014 be approved [sD 2014/0040] In the Keys – Ayes 16, Noes 8 FOR Mr Quirk Mr Ronan Mr Crookall Mr Anderson Mr Bell Mr Singer Mr Quayle Mr Teare Mr Cregeen Mr Houghton Mr Robertshaw Mr Shimmin Mr Cretney Mr Watterson Mr Skelly Mr Gawne AGAINST Mr Hall Mr Karran Mr Cannan Mr Henderson Mrs Beecroft Mrs Cannell Mr Thomas The Speaker In the Council Ayes 8, Noes 1FOR Mr Corkish Mr Wild Mr Crowe Mr Downie The Lord Bishop Mr Butt Mr Braidwood Mr Coleman AGAINST Mr Turner Chris Thomas MHK had tried for an amendment to have the matter looked at by committee but that was thrown out. The voting was as above (ie those for the amendment were those against the tax): To leave out the words:‘be approved [sD 2014/0040]’ and add:‘stand referred to the Economic Policy Review Committee for examination, particularly as to its fairness; and to report.'

By the time we get to the next election a number of those names will probably have been elevated to LegCo and thus immune from any public vote.

carbon selector Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) The next Legislative Council election is March 2015. Dudley BUTT. Robert Philip BRAIDWOOD, Edward Alan CROWE and Alexander Frank DOWNIE are current encumbents on those cosy seats. I don't think they'll want to get off the gravy train that easily. Mind you, each one of them is a toilet taxer. Only the lad Turner on LegCo had the balls to listen to the people of the Isle of Man. His decency might cost him another 5 years on a guaranteed £1000 a week but at least he will be able to hold his head up high when he walks down Strand Street.

Non-Believer Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Just noted the Sewerage Charge explanation leaflet that accompanied my Rates demand through the letterbox today. Just in case anyone was thinking along the lines of chemical bogs etc to avoid the charge, NO. They've included the discharge of any waste water into the system as being chargeable. As it says, this includes storm water off your roof, sinks, baths and showers, dishwashers, washing machines etc. Looks like they've covered all the bases then......bastards....

I used to own a house that had its own sewage treatment bio digester type jobbie which treated the waste and it was discharged into a ditch (I was told that the output was good enough to drink) I did not try this! and its rainwater was piped to soakaways in the grounds. Would that need to pay the poo tax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
