Could start civil partnership 'tourism' for IoM
Today's ceremony for the London couple seeking a formal union short of marriage, could trigger the start of further civil partnership 'tourism' to the Island.
The Equal Civil Partnership Campaign is holding up the Isle of Man as a progressive beacon, for offering opposite sex civil unions.

Former president of the Isle of Man Law Society Kevin O'Riordon thinks it's possible - with snags:
Ramsey Swing Bridge 'a key line' for businessesÂ
Protecting farmers from impact of climate change 'a no brainer'
Dogs to be allowed on Douglas Beach year-round as part of council trial
Manx language choir to perform at Royal Irish Academy
