buncha wankas Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 When new rates system kicks in based on house size not rentable value house prices will drop down to reality and the island will become a quiet zone, less traffic, less crime., less people so less health and social care. excellent strategy Mr Thomas.

Neil Down Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 1 hour ago, Rushen Spy said: Nonsense. People themselves should own their own homes. There should be a law against owning more than a specific number; and law and regulation to ensure protections for people who are from the island, as we are effectively unprotected prey from vultures. should your moniker not be Russian Spy?

Context: 1) The term "comeover" is a disparaging and derogatory term for a person who comes to live here. I may have used the term in the past but did so to refer simply to a person who has moved here. I now reject the term because I now realise that the term is being used in a way that is not in alignment with my understanding of the term, or with my general outlook on people who come to live here. I am very happy for people to come and live here to fill shortages or contribute in other ways. 2) When speaking of the island being open prey to vultures from the outside, I was referring to the island's population and island's local economy being vulnerable to outside economic encroachment due to lack of regulatory and legislative protections. I refer to people or legal entities who come here to exploit the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "us and them" isn't between Manx people and "comeovers"; it is between ALL people on the Isle of Man and persons and legal entities looking to exploit the population here.
