Mr Shoe Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Ahem - we don't walk about P anymore. Just forget about those tens of millions. Nothing to see here. (anyway, it's not like Wales could lose their VAT share) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't link to the story for some reason... Can't see anything on the site at the mo; doubtless somebody will be along to say that it's nonsense. Perhaps Allan and Eddie would like to make themselves available for comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 My friend told me it was in the paper yesterday, can't see it on the site, maybe its been hurriedly pulled as we foray into another expensive can't fail investment ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Disappeared it has. It was featured on the usual, "What's in your Examiner/Manx independent" article they put up before it hits the stands. I had to zoom in to read it but it's now gone... So nothing has been gained on this investment since the Guardian published the losses 6 years ago.

Andy Onchan Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 It's definitely in hard print in the Examiner. If I can find it, I'll post it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilp Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Bravo, LC. But it's not new-news... https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/film/2011/jun/17/isle-of-man-film-industry If anyone reads the link, read also the comments section.

quilp Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 And more. Our 'Space Industry' gets some scrutiny too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 It seems that a significant portion of the Isle of Man Film Industry was a vehicle to 'get rid' of money. Such as produce invoices for expensive equipment that wasn't used etc. Stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
