MANX BUDGET: THEY HAD LITTLE NOW THEY HAVE LESS

Behind the hype about an ‘adventurous’ 2015 Manx budget, ‘rebalancing’ and more support for ‘carers’ the budget in parts has a meaner streak.

We set out below the section on Personal Allowance Credit (PAC) which is to be cut by £100.

This payment goes to the lowest income group and effectively for some over recent years has been a financial lifeline coming as probably the largest lump sum they get in any twelve months.

The European Committee for the Prevention of Torture have responded (today) to concerns raised by the Celtic League about arrests of children in dawn raids in Dublin recently.

MANX BUDGET: FISCAL HOUDINI PROMISES MUCH BUT DELIVERS LITTLE

Sections of Manx society needed relief today not jam tomorrow!

Like some fiscal ‘Houdini’ the Treasury Minister, Eddie Teare, MHK, has promised much but delivered little in his 2015 budget.
It appears that the books of ‘the Manx State ’ will be balanced but they will be balanced on the backs of the poorest in Manx society who will continue to suffer for a further twelve months at least.

There is a terrible arrogance prevailing in the Manx government at this time. They really do not seem to have understood how very unpopular they are amongst the Manx population. Or, even worse, perhaps they do understand but just don't care! That certainly appeared to be the case when Manx Chief Minister Allan Bell seemed to question the whole purpose of a public demonstration against Post Office closures which took place in January 2015 (as reported on Manx Radio).
