geoff, just think:- all your pension contributions are going to support the finance so-called industry which is unsustainable. The very idea that it might have to pay a fair tax for doing business in the island is unthinkable to these fat cats who live "out west" like GM and don't get to see overcrowding in our little island. Meanwhile, self-employed people are also being hit by this bunch of 6000 or so who want to see the island's population increase. I suppose there is one way to achieve this without worsening the social problems on the island and that is by introducing swingeing land taxes on those who own more than a nominal amount of land, coupled with requisitioning of land in the south west to house the extra workers that GM and his ilk wish to bring here. I often think that a true regression may well be beneficial in the long term:finance clearing off, house prices falling, population falling, less demand on education, health, roads etc. i.e. less public expenditure. Builders and bankers are like turkeys: they will not vote for Christmas but it is surely time for a cull. And as a sign-off, how about an alternative industry:- assisted dying? The Admiral's Park buildings would make fantastic departure points and would be far preferable to taking a magic potion in an industrial estate in Zurich.
