doc.fixit Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Well, it's very shiny and it's got lot's of big, trendy words and its full of aspirations, BUT, nowhere does it start at the basic problem of the civil service and the government being way to big whilst the public service, ( the face workers and maintainers where growth is needed), are not mentioned, or at least I didn't see it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellanvannin2010 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Is there a huge surplus of Doctors, nurses, teachers and the like that would want to come here to service this increase in population?. We would be more likely to get the contents of the Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Buggane Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) As I stated before, Alfred is trying to keep the gravy train trundling along. No doubt a lot of the high end c/s are praying just another five years and I can get out with my £ 150,000 lump sum and £80,000 index linked per annum. All hail Alf. We used to play rugby together.

2112 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Considering this piece of complete rubbish is meant to be a showpiece strategy document, according to the NPM which placed such importance, it devoted a live blog into the speech and questions/debate, and it took 1 hour. So an important document merits 1 hours worth of debate. No doubt competition will be hotting up for Tim Crookalls former role, so they will be praising the Chief Ministers foresight.

We have had more time spent this year discussing cars idling outside schools than this or the island plan . Is the KPMG report viewable anywhere? Or is this another secret briefing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Same old 'route one' economic policy that we've heard many times over the last fifty years. KPMG have just looked at what IOM Govt are doing anyway (Building ever more houses and selling them to overseas investors), fancied it up and sold it back to them like it's some wonderful strategy. Kerr-ching. This isn't a new model, isn't going to solve anything and will just make the structural problems of the Manx economy bigger. It'll please the usual people though. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
