I am sure that their skills are transferable.

This is a good sign that Guernsey’s legislation for long term retention of a solid, co-operative finance industry is starting to work.

Well done those involved.

Mr Bee
Go to the Employment Agencies, or ring the numbers in the Guernsey Press. If you can do the work it’s there…

People may hate me for my views, but there really is no point in thinking that if you’re employable in that sector, having been employed in that sector,that it’s really so bad that there’s no jobs about.

Unless it’s part of the trickle down…

The tip of the iceberg. I believe the oil spillage has bought tax havens a little comfort & extra time. The international pressure will be eased for a short while. Minds will be focused elsewhere. When changes are forced through many organisations will be faced with the same decisions as Investec.

Guernsey is an expensive place for businesses. It is not best suited due to its limitations & inconveniences. Many will look elsewhere.

States members need to be on the ball with how they are handling things in future. I don’t believe many can appreciate, or fully comprehend, the sensitivity of the many challenges in worldwide legislation.

Many simply look to those that feather their own nests first for the answers. Not good enough. Wasn’t for the many let down savers with Landsbanki & everybody else up the chain shirking responsibility & accountability.

This shows how incompetent & pathetically weak we really are when things go wrong. Leaders shrugging their shoulders & doing their best at remaining upbeat whilst clearly clueless & out of control.

I believe these people will have difficulty finding employment at the standards & pay scales they previously enjoyed. Many employers will be cautious about hiring in times of uncertainty.

More than ever we need people that have the islands best interests at heart. With the skills & expertise needed. Not figures that need advising by specialists every step of the way.

Many are saying the recession is over. I believe we have seen a little glimmer of positiveness with spending. The hard times will be felt soon enough.

Good. High time things started stabilising & actually costing what they are worth rather than what inflation prospectors feel they can get away with demanding.

I am one of the few that likes recession. It is a wonderful thing. Bring it on for all its worth. Reality is good.

What on earth does that mean – “you are a conspiracy theorist”? Quite unnecessary. Get out of the wrong side of bed on Bank Holiday Monday did we?

I disagree with your “fictional nonsense” reference, because it simply isn’t “fictional nonsense” at all, but I do agree that Guernsey needs to keep up with the game and slightly ahead of it. Automatic exchange of information is now back on the imminent agenda, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see it come into force in 2011 at the same time as the Isle of Man. (Not sure whether Jersey will agree though). That move will give Guernsey the opportunity it needs to prove to you and your Uncle Richard that Guernsey is a lot cleaner than you both allege.
