And rooting them in bullshit. They'll all flourish.

The real question is, why is he having his photo taking with that commie hag? As much as I think the Manx CM is an irrelevance, I think Sturgeon is even more of an irrelevance -- just more of a media whore. She should f right off.

Apologies. You are correct.

76 was when the 'bank' start up. 

It didn't last long then, did it. Just six years from start to finish and the loss/removal of all that money. Was that story about the Rolls left at Ronaldsway ever proved true?

Tynwald Day is not a celebration of independence. It's an exercise of parliamentary sovereignty. In the UK, sovereignty resides jointly between the monarch and the parliament: it's called "Queen-in-Parliament" as it requires an assembly of Parliament and the monarch in Parliament to give Royal Assent.

If the Isle of Man is ever to progress from a feudal monarchical system into a real parliamentary democracy, we need to retain Tynwald Day and the Monarch's attendance (or a representative of the Monarch) as a way to follow the UK model of sovereignty. Without a Royal representative, it may as well be a teddy bear picnic because it wouldn't be worth a dime as far as parliamentary sovereignty is concerned.

Here's your answer:

Well Gil certainly left for Spain pronto with oodles of stolen cash largely raised by using a fraudulent will that named himself as the executor and witnessed by a couple of his pseudonyms. 

For the couple of years or so before the bank finally collapsed they managed to fiddle the books to show the bank was in credit when it was hopelessly doomed and in debt.
