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 reporting activities.
Hopefully, we have overcome the recent problem - although we continue to investigate how and what/who is responsible for the problem, and we will consider what further action needs to be taken when we complete our investigation – and we are determined not to allow such disruption to weaken our resolve to continue reporting on matters of public interest; and in a manner we see fit.
Incidentally, as it stands at the moment, The Manx Herald is still being denied media accreditation, by the government’s press office and the Tynwald Management Committee, but we will not let this deter us either.
Government often uses the phrase ‘if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear’, yet when it comes to allowing the Manx Herald access to government press briefings etc, this maxim obviously doesn’t apply.
It may still take a few more days to completely get back to ‘normal’ and we ask for your continued forbearance during this difficult period.

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

Then they start shooting the people ...
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..

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."
