As someone who's from the Channel Islands but now lives in the UK, this really ticks me off. I realise that Jersey's economy is heavily dependent on these loopholes but they are downright immoral and I wish they'd just be closed up once and for all.

"I realize everyone would suffer where I used to live" buut since I don't live there anymore fuck 'em close these loop holes. What does morality have to do with paying taxes?

Haven't you heard of the immortal phrase "Don't do what I do; do what I tell you to do" !! The government obviously wants everyone else to be registered where they can be regulated and taxed easily but is moving its own operations off-shore to "facilitate its operations" !!

It's well past 1984 now and Big Brother is truly with us !!
