  • Communications Commission Oaseirys Çhellinsh
    DIRECTOR Dr Carmel McLaughlin Communications Commission Oaseirys Çhellinsh Director Dr Carmel McLaughlin Response to Ofcom’s Second Public Service Broadcasting Review Phase Two: Preparing for the digital future 4 December 2008 1. Executive Summary The Communications Commission welcomes this opportunity to respond to Ofcom’s Second Public Service Broadcasting Review. The review contained the proposal to merge Border and Tyne Tees news but with separate 15-minute sequences in the main weekday programme for viewers in the Border and Tyne Tees areas and separate late-evening bulletins which would directly affect the Isle of Man (Section 7 and Annex 1 of Ofcom’s review). Following publication of Ofcom’s review, the Commission conducted a public consultation inviting views on proposals to change ITV’s regional news coverage. The issue was reported and debated on the radio, internet and in the Island’s newspapers. In total we received 120 responses from Members of Tynwald, Government Departments, Statutory Boards, Parish Commissioners, Women’s Institutes, Manx Radio and other organisations and individuals from across the Island. The Commission thanks everyone who took time to respond to the consultation and for their considered responses. This submission summarises the responses to the consultation. The Commission, Tynwald and the great majority of respondents to our consultation are of the opinion that viewers and the Island would be better served by the Island’s transmitters switching to ITV Granada rather than being part of the Border/Tyne Tees proposal. The Isle of Man while not part of UK has cultural, economic and social links with the North West of England rather than Border and the North East of England.

Government legitimacy is based on the twin pillars of popular sovereignty--albeit restricted--and the rule of the supreme leader of the Islamic Revolution. The current supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was not directly elected but chosen by a directly elected body of religious leaders, the Assembly of Experts, in 1989. Khamenei's writ dominates the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government. He directly controls the armed forces and indirectly controls internal security forces, the judiciary, and other key institutions. The legislative branch is the popularly elected 290-seat Islamic Consultative Assembly, or Majles. The unelected 12-member Guardian Council reviews all legislation the Majles passes to ensure adherence to Islamic and constitutional principles; it also screens presidential and Majles candidates for eligibility. Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad, a member of the Alliance of Builders political party, was reelected president in June 2009 in a multiparty election that was generally considered neither free nor fair. There were numerous instances in which elements of the security forces acted independently of civilian control.

To bring to bear my 16 years experience – including 5 as Speaker, and 7 as Government Minister – in the continuing service of the Manx people. How well does the candidate think On the Plus side..........in the face of that the present? world economic recession, Government’s legislative programme and fiscal and economic policies have enabled private business and commerce to generate the wealth which has maintained strong and positive economic growth, virtual full employment, and the strong tax revenues necessary to fund high quality public services. Proactive engagement with international tax and regulatory authorities has maintained the Island’s good standing at the forefront of reputable global business centres. On the negative side.........other direct external challenges have been handled with political ineptitude. The Government response to the UK’s proposed ending of the Reciprocal Health Agreement was one of weakness and capitulation, with pitiful political fightback before the last minute reprieve thanks to external support. If the candidate were elected, what To continue to head up the Laxey would their priorities be at a Village Regeneration initiative to constituency level? improve the built environment of the commercial centre (to see the extension by Tynwald of the Town and Village Regeneration Fund into the next financial year and beyond will be an early national priority of mine).
