They arrived to do some work and went to teach for dinner but were snitched on by a local and were sent straight to jail for 2 weeks.

I think that's very harsh and unnecessary, the rules were not as clear to them and it was a first offence now i can understand doing it for for repeat rule breakers but to give criminal records straight aways when politians around the UK are getting away scot free doing it is very wrong

[But the masks, compulsory in UK shops, ironically led to
their arrests for breaching island rules that key workers from
the mainland must stay in their accommodation unless at work.
While the Isle of Man is a Crown dependency and its citizens are British,
it is not in the UK and sets its own laws.]

They were not legal to go into a shop
and were warned that.

it's up to everyone to know the rules in force at the place they are visiting, ignorance is not an excuse

So your saying everyone who breaks the rules in this first time should be jailed? It pointless and money wasting

I agree
Its unfair especially when the likes of politicians and their relatives get away scot free. Sigh.

They’re not children, they should be aware of the restriction of the places they go to

Its a Great Warning
for that Small Island.


Rules are Rules.

Also with it being a British Island it would be easy to think you wouldn't need to quarantine and the people who gave them the work should have told them, its an innocent mistake which a fine would have been the appropriate punishment

Absolutely. What purpose in jailing them. Really.

[In the Drunk Tank]

They are covid free in the Isle of Man - no restrictions, no distancing, no masks etc - and want to stay that way

[Liam-]

At least they’re isolating now

[Christmas Dynasnow]

No man is an island...

[Cherry Christmas]

The company who hired them should bear some responsibility how were they meant to eat if they had to stay in their accommodation

[bots]

they have strict protocols to keep their covid status as it is. I have no sympathy for people not taking the time to understand what they need to do when visiting a location

[Christmas Dynasnow]

hopefully these welders will stick together?

[bots]

hopefully it will have lit a torch on isle of man regulations

I cant at people getting happy at peoples lives being ruined over an innocent mistake that hurt nobody

Yes it's a Lesson in Rules

A criminal record will limit them on what they can do and they will always be seen as a criminal

'Ruined' is still a bit of an exaggeration, don't expect they'll be affected too much
