The Sark Lark

The goings on in Sark illustrate just how many of the world’s tax havens are under overall British control.

Though also just how much more civilised and civilising, and how much more compatible with at least local democracy, is the old, “feudal” best of Toryism compared to global capital, if the choice has to be made.

  1. Voters in Sark overwhelmingly voted for candidates the Barclay Bros didn't want & they have taken a huff & their money & left. Considering that this means a high proportion of the locals losing their employment I have a lot of respect for such people not being willing to be bullied.

    The Barclays Bros own the Telegraph which is, unfortunately, one of the few papers which will print articles skeptical to the warming scam. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/
