£ island - Public Health Announcement

Bournmouth

 

Ah, you were typing it in some kind of medieval scrawl.

It's suddenly become clear(er).

 

You have to read the whole sentence up to the "?" to realise it is a
question, the "is" that should have prefixed it is implied.

 

So, he is a foreigner in the USA then, so cannot and should not receive
any benefits.

 

If you can define pretty girls as anything over 65, then you may be ok.

 

yes, but 1st you have to find the people who want to do the shitty jobs
the foreigners are doing because no one here wants to do them.

 

Who mentioned shitty jobs?

I was thinking more along the lines of skilled work where because of
the shortage of skills in the UK principal contractors are bringing in
overseas labour and because they can get away with paying them crap
money they then decide to just go for the cheap option from the start.

Don't say locals should work for the same because they have homes to
pay for and don't get the option of living in a temporary village on
the site.

 

Oh yes we are (in the Isle of Man), in spades. We get to keep only
1% of our VAT, all the rest goes to the UK. I think all the duty
goes to the UK too (like fuel duty). Additionally, the "shared purse"
agreement (for the common customs area) is being drastically
readjusted in the UK's favour.

The Channel Islands don't have these VAT or customs agreements,
I have no idea how they make a contribution for defence, etc.

The tax exiles are rich enough to pay for their own treatment if
need be, the rest of us (i.e. the overwhelming majority of us -
owing to our terrible winter weather, I suspect we have a fraction
of the number of tax exiles compared to the channel islands) who
are on normal incomes don't know what's happening - until our
government says whether they'll pay the costs we don't know if
we'll need travel insurance for the UK. I suspect becuase of the
readjustment of the common purse, the government needs to make 15% to
20% cuts across the board, we probably will probably have to have
private health insurance to cover things that Noble's can't do.

 

No, it *is* unreasonable and I say this as a Manx taxpayer.

The TT brings in a huge amount of revenue - far more than the cost
of treating the TT injuries I suspect. In light of this the Manx
government ought to continue to cover treatment for TT participants.

The island will lose a lot more if the TT went away.

As a Manx taxpayer, it would be extremely mean and penny pinching of
me to demand that TT racers pay their own way - insurance cover is
almost certainly unavailable at any price. The racers already take
big risks to give us a spectacle (which brings in tremendous revenue),
it would be a little inhuman to bankrupt one of them if they have
a bad crunch. We ought to not be like the United States.

 

Would you mind standing for parliament in the UK next year?

You're my latest hero and the true VOR.

 

Like the lads in Auf Weiderschten[sp?] Pet ?

 

How about finding out the exact figures, and then maybe I may agree with
you, but personally I suspect that it doesn't bring in enough to cobble
together the bodies and repair damage.

Totally agree

 

Can a Manx resident stand for UK parliament ?

 

OK, back of fag packet type sums here..

On average the TT brings in 50,000 visitors.

I think it's fair to assume that they'll each spend a minimum of £300,
and probably nearer £500 with Manx companies, hotels, ferries and
whatever during a week in the rain.

So, using the lowest numbers I make that £15,000,000 revenue, let's
assume 10% of that gets skimmed off by her maj's finest as tax -
that's 1.5 million of TT generated government spoils in a week. More
than enough fo fund a few bandages, bits of meccano, laughing gas, and
blue flashing lights, I'd have thought.

 

As long as they only claim 'expenses' and don't try to get a filling
done on the NHS.

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, ginge

It's worth pointing out that some of the daft cunts get flown to
Chelt^H^H^H^H^H The UK after their teleg^H^H^H^H^H incidents anyway.

Seriously, if the Manx government doesn't offer medical cover to
competitors, then the TT is finished.

 

I've not booked my ferry yet...

 

Studland bay just up the road

 

Its not the shitty Jobs , its the shitty pay

 

Cheeky ****
