Manx Social media users have been taking a UK newspaper editor and former Chancellor of the exchequer to task over a three-legged symbol.
This week, George Osbourne posted a cartoon about social media on Twitter - but used a triskelion to illustrate neo-Nazism.
It prompted an angry response from Island residents, who were at pains to point out the symbol isn't a swastika.
The former Tatton MP joined the London Evening Standard as its editor in May.

Can you please NOT use a symbol reminiscent of the Manx triskelion to make the point you appear to be trying to make? Ta.
