hissingsid Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I would abolish the planning committee and let local authorities decide what is good. And proper for their district. If I may have two suggestions I would abolish the Fair trading standards lot especially after the gas fiasco, toothless tigers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Maybe I was hasty with my call to abolish everything, especially the reminder about beer, but something that really should be abolished is tweetbeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Helmut Fromage Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 The Bishop in Tynwald and The Living Hope nonsense - good luck to them baptising their deluded new intake in The Lido sewers and keeping 2 metres apart. Peter Murcott - abolish him immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck of Atholl Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Abolish the income tax cap for HNWI's. I don't think that they put as much into the economy as they effectively take out through not paying a fair share. I doubt they spend much locally as well. At the very least the cap could be doubled and many would still be getting a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The planning committee only look at contentious applications and appeals. Most planning decisions are taken by the planning office so I would say that they are very important in ensuring that those issues are properly resolved.

Sport and exercise are generally good things, and having a facility that anyone can use - gym, pool, courts etc - rather than having to join a private club, is what I’d like to see my taxes spent on. The health and wellbeing it creates could well save money for DHSC in the future. I’d abolish the horse trams. Agree 1000% . So get it open pronto.

Whilst Insurance companies should always pay out when robbed and have correspondingly high fees for known criminals, many of the payout evaders are simply adhering to the terms and conditions you signed when you took out travel insurance, as abhorent as they can be. I'd abolish tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him from IOM College, was a good lecturer, sadly though was a bit of a fire and brimstone character, and some strange views. I would abolish the Cabinet Office, along with Chris Thomas. It’s strange that many of its functions, the island already had, but incorporated into other departments. This department is a monolithic dinosaur, allowed to endlessly expand, led by a Boorasaurus.
