Mec Vannin, the Manx nationalist party, says graffiti daubed outside the Lieutenant Governor’s house is nothing to do with it.
The words ‘Mec Vannin’ were spray painted in large letters across an entrance road to Government House, at the Nook, Onchan.
A Mec Vannin spokesman said: ‘Although Mec Vannin is the name of the Manx nationalist party the incident is not linked to the party as it works strictly via constitutional means and eschews direct action of this nature.’
‘Mec Vannin’ means ‘Sons of Mann’ in Manx Gaelic.
