Tony Wild MLC (born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne) is a Member of the Legislative Council and Tynwald in the Isle of Man. He used to be Island Director of Lloyds Banking Group.^[1]

He is also an associate member of the Chartered Institute of Bankers, member of the Institute of Directors and former president of the Isle of Man Bankers’ Association and worked in international banking in the Isle of Man and the UK, principally with the Lloyds Banking Group.

On December 12, 2015, Wild was arrested on suspicion of drink driving, shortly after the Manx Government had launched its Christmas anti-drink drive campaign.^[2] A breath test recorded 108 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres - the legal limit on the Isle of Man is 35. He stood trial and was subsequently convicted for being three times over the drink drive limit. Wild was sentenced on 16 February 2016, the sentence resulted in a five-year driving ban in addition to a fine of £243.80 and an order to carry out 180 hours community service.^[3]

Wild subsequently resigned his position as a member of the Department of Health and Social Care, however he has steadfastly refused to resign his position on the Legislative Council. This has in turn led to widespread public outrage at his decision.^[4]
