John Rimington

John Rimington MHK was the Minister of Local Government and the Environment of the Isle of Man Government from 2004 to 2006. He was also Member of the House of Keys between 2000 and 2006 for Rushen, but he was comprehensively defeated in the 2006 general election when he came fifth out of seven candidates in a three-seat constituency. Prior to being a politician he was a teacher, landscape gardener and computer programmer. He has since taken up a position as a mathematics teacher at Castle Rushen High School in Castletown.
John Rimington has now moved to New Zealand and he made this decision because he jokingly said "I love the photo copiers in New Zealand" which he said in the Isle of Man Examiner.
