Well er racism perhaps the wrong word and comparing a tiny Cz outfit to BA is rather extreme but we British are pretty hypocritical when it comes to 'foreigners' and it does seem odd the CAA were on hand like that. What were they doing in IoM anyway , a place which enjoys a weird neither fish nor foul existence being not a state and not a country but somehow survives on hiding peoples money for them.

How that 'airline' survived the Cork crash I cannot imagine so I am not sorry to see a spotlight turned on them again but this whole story seems fishy to me anyway.

Perhaps also a bit of a warning that a Britain out of the EU will resemble a sort of giant Isle of Man living off of tax dodges. Freedom from Eu bureaucracy really means exemption from all kinds of safety legislation , protection of workplace rights, environmental laws etc that allow exactly this kind of dubious practice to flourish.
