Moral integrity is in short supply at Westminster. It must be hoped that Vince Cable found a strong moral response amongst the IoM liberals to the Kaupthing debacle. If the liberals demonstrate they have the guts to stand up for justice for the depositors who have been robbed by a calamitous failure of regulatory responsibility, they will stand a real chance of getting into power in forthcoming elections.

It's nice to see the site validated by the presence of Nigel Malpass. He might be reassured to know that I would have been happy reading a longer weightier article. Without trying to be facetious I would have been equally as happy to read more.
Vince Cable's area of expertise is finance, and he is politically active in this arena. Given the current situation more detail of his perspective would have been interesting.
One of the strengths of this publication is the existence of significant detail in the articles. The Isle of Man seems to have a surfeit of 'soundbite' journalism and a dearth of what might be considered to be more heavyweight commentary. Some of us understand the need to have information sufficient to really understand the issues.
I hope this comment might encourage Mr Malpass to comment in depth in future when the occasion arises. And also I would encourage this publication to consider cutting itself a niche as 'heavyweight' commentary/analysis.
I don't know what other forums exist.
