I am another stitched up by the Isle Of Man. I decided to follow a career which meant less money but more job satisfaction safe in the knowledge that my frugal living and steady savings would be en…










Well done, it reflects the real truth about how the shrugging off of responsibility by the UK and IOM governments have left us all feeling.
Anyone who thinks this story’s ending is an over exaggeration is kidding themselves. People are suffering physically and mentally and people have died as a result of the negligence of the “fat-cat bankers” and the disinterested politicians who are prepared to fiddle their own expenses to avoid capital gains tax BUT call innocent tax paying ex-pats tax dodgers.!! This story is real it is happening now – but very few people know or care.
I run an animal sanctuary in Sri Lanka and to date 11 dogs have died because I have no money for veterinary fees . I saved my money all my adult life to be able to care for sick animals and not to stand by helpless and watch them die. I saved in the Isle of Man. Another fool.
Very well done. You have touched a chord; we must never give up. Reason and dialogue have failed and only sustained adverse publicity will have any effect on the heartless, indifferent persons responsible for our plight.
This is a great conclusion to a real life drama! Worth watching right through . 5 stars are not enough for your magnificent work to convey the message of what happened to 11,000 depositors who put their trsut in Kaupthing. The directors squandered half their money in a crass decision to post half the assets in the bank into KaupthingUK which went into administration losing the lot! Ministry of Justice — what the hell are you doing to alow British expats to be dispossessed like this?
A real human story of how this KSFIOM debacle is affecting UK citizens everyday for the past 10 Months with no end in sight!To all depositors affected by this – Don’t ever give up – the truth will come out about how the UK Government/FSA and IOM Government/FSC are lying to cover themselves.UK Government – unseal those papers if you have nothing to hide!IOM Government – do the right thing and pay us all back 100%Don’t bank in the Isle of Shame if you want to see your money again!
10 months on and all the depositors have got to date is a deafening silence from both the IOM and British governments.Same on both of them.
People really are suffering. People have lives and circumstances which have been badly affected by 10 months unable to access their income or savings. People in government have no shame.
Sad, sad story with a bad ending…
But sadly as we know - a true ending!!
