Who’s afraid of the Manx Herald?

The Manx Herald apologies to our readers for the recent disruption to our service; but clearly someone, or a wider body of people fear our

I thought the Herald was being delivered on the cheap using a time limited demo version of the software!!! Welcome back..

You seem overly paranoid. Honestly, the world isn't that interested, I wouldn't get too upset by your website crashing.

For it is I

2009-04-23T12:07:14-04:00

Me?

'For it is I' is considered better colloquial English, acceptable in all but the most formal contexts. However in isolation 'It is I' may sound pedantic, although it should be preferred in the clause, 'it was I who wrote all that nonsense demeaning the Herald.'

The world is indeed interested in both the excellent journalism (not 'me's' command of English) and the erudite ‘posts’ appearing on the Herald website.

There was no indication in the above article that the Herald is in any way 'upset’– it merely displayed resolve to continue publishing the truth and equal resolve to discover the culprits/problem behind the recent crash.

That the Herald is still being denied media accreditation, by the government’s press office and the Tynwald Management Committee should be of great comfort for supporters of the Isle of Man totalitarian state.

Knowledge is the soul of society as it passes from one generation to another – unless suppressed by the government.

Has it not occurred to you that by reporting the truth is your downfall, especially with regard to the KSF bank. It is a known fact that the bullies and crooks will shut anyone up who strives for truth with a smack in the face. Stop reporting on KSF Depositors plight and you will be welcomed into the fold and you can then all print trivia together - sanctioned by your government.

A corrupt government protecting a disreputable financial services industry on an inhospitable island half way to Hell.

God help the Manx people – and any one else misguided to transfer even one penny of their savings to this den of thieves.

I am glad that you are up & running again, I can understand your paranoia, I suspect that some sneaky Manx MI5 type came along in the night & snipped your wires!
In the UK they have these things called newspapers; they report on a whole range of topics like sport, education, politics, finance etc. but they are allowed to do it with freedom, I believe its called 'democracy'. Someone (sadly no longer) once told me that the IOM "is the most undemocratic democracy in the world"
If you want to read about drink drivers, domestics, scallys caught with drugs or a plethora of charity events (not that I'm against charity events) then buy a local rag.
Keep up the good work!!

First they gag the 'Press'.
Then they start shooting the people ...

Did you report it to the police?
What did they do?

Did you contact the mainland? What happened?

These are independent comments. I'm in South America. Here they remember what happened when freedom disappeared, many of us disappeared as well. Your readers may feel on reading this that I'm joking. But it wasn't a joke here. And not many people don't want to see it happen again. Your readers need to be aware of this. Corruption starts slowly and grows, like weeds. You don't pull out the weeds your garden dies.

The Iom looks to me like it is currently struggling for oxygen.

Let's relax and have a nice day... I'm sure we're being monitored..

regards David

The powers that be will pour scorn on these comments, they will accuse me of hyperbole. But I have sat with the wife of a doctor left to die in the street in Chile, a friend of Allende, who afterwards lived forever in fear of the police. But I have faith in your readers. "If you don't fight, you lose."

Robbed in the isle of man

Keep up the good work reporting on the KSF IoM, we have been robbed, and the Government should not be allowed to get away with it. They have got huge a huge bonus for being crap at their jobs. Where is the justice in that? They could not organise a knees up for the over 70's nevermind,Financial supervision of banks or building societies. Maybe they should stick to amature dramatics. looks like the FSC spent too much time on amature dramatics when they should have been supervising the banks. I should think the Queen is dissapointed, as she is Lord of the Island and this banking fiasco has spoilt her reputation. Roll on the public enquiry lets see who's made the mistakes and lets find out what they have done with our money.
