Look on any IOM Gov website, find a cs person's name and just enter...

firstname.secondname@iom.gov

Knock yourself out on IOM Today 🙂 

If you are going to that much trouble, why don't you go the extra mile and at @gov.im

You are putting 2 and 2 together and definitely making 4. It's the father of our Deputy Chief Minister.... who happens to be an advocate by training, so no doubt will have a good legal team.

Congratulations to both of you on making 2 and 2 .... make 6.  Jane Poole-Wilson's father died a couple of years ago (aged 100) and was called Kissack (what with that being her maiden name).  The gentleman here may be a relation of her husband or just someone with the same surname.

And she's not an advocate.  She qualified as an English solicitor and has never bothered to join the Manx Bar, presumably as she's an employment specialist and so it's not really necessary.

Otherwise completely correct.  Have you thought of getting a job in the media?

Not may be, is a definite relative of the Deputy Chief Minister.

make one up. I put in iomtodayisstupid@stupid.com and it worked. 

quoting myself.. I was on IOM today and it brought up the silly pop up asking for an email address. Used the same address is in the quote and it has worked again.

I actually signed up for the 'weekly newsletter' with a proper e-mail and it eventually arrived, but they still have pulled the same trick since, so dummy@dummy.com it was. 

As I keep on having to remark, it never ceases to amaze just how poor media 'professionals' are at communicating and using what are by now, hardly new technologies.

Thanks for that. I thought it was. Thanks to a sensible poster for supplying a non aggressively paranoid response. 

You’re getting 2+2= 5

Really? So the person from Glen Vine called Poole-Wilson who is in court over injuring someone in this traffic incident isn’t the father in law of the deputy chief minister, also called Poole-Wilson who also lives in Glen Vine?

You and another poster seem to have originally concluded it was her father, which is 2+2=5

Not sure what you’re point is (nor do I really care)
