The ex Mayor has got it into his head that despite all of the efforts of the Inland Revenue, Guernsey and the other Channel Islands are depriving the UK Exchequer of huge amounts of tax revenues!
What seems to have alluded Ken is that the island, like the UK, is free to set its own regime and he doesn't seem to object to the wealthy foreign nationals who use the UK to avoid higher tax rates in their own countries.
It also seems to have escaped Ken's attention that Guernsey isn't part of the UK. The island gets no National Health Service, no UK pensions, no essential services, no voice in Government, nothing much at all in fact....unless of course you count defense and perhaps Ken can remind us what happened when we last needed that!
