Reader comments:
- Do not trust anything that the British Labour party does. It will act in
its own interest and not that of anyone else. This is true of Brittan itself
but it is especially true of the Cayman Islands. Labour still have the
stereotypical image of these islands as full of evil money launderers and
people avoiding paying ‘fair’ taxes. Furthermore, if Dawn Primarolo (aka Dim
Prawn) is involved then it will definitely be screwed up. This woman’s
record speaks for itself. One day they will be gone, hopefully, soon. Let us
pray that they do not manage to do too much damage to the Cayman Islands
before they go - Anonymous
- I fully agree with "Anonymous" as to the lack of trustworthiness of the
UK Labour party. Instead of screwing around with the UK I do not know why
the Caymans do not just go independent and do their own thing. It certainly
is a wealthy enough country (as of now), but if they let the British
government continue on its current path the offshore sector will die and the
economy will return to the 1950's. John Edwards
- I think the UK wants to tax the people of the Cayman Islands - John
V. Evans Sr
- Cayman has an abnormal emotional and frankly seriously deleterious
attachment to the UK. Continue the talks and watch two things: 1. Financial
Sector (5th in the world) totally collapse over time; and 2. Real Estate
drop 60% in value. One constant, some people will still come to scuba dive.
What will the Caymans get in return? A battleship cruising around the
islands a few times a year and money going to the UK. Cayman, wake up and
get some intestinal fortitude. Save yourself while you have the muscle and
the pride (and brains?) - William Styvesant
