Perspective 31.5.26 - Cohabiting Couples, Drugs Law and How to Sabotage Government

51 minutes | Sunday, 31 May 2026

Quite a mix on Perspective this week with some cracking speeches from May Tynwald on a move to change the tax status for cohabiting couples, and a request to speed up changes to drugs law. We also have Christian Jones’ parting gift to Manx Radio, a revealing insight into a 1940s guide on how to sabotage government. It seems that what was viewed in the 1940s as sabotage is now deemed to be best practice by most European governments. Perhaps the most important mission of the next House of Keys will be to unpick the resplendent fabric of Government’s “emperor’s new clothes”.
