Why Britain should declare war on Jersey

Why Britain should declare war on Jersey | Mark Thomas | Comment is free | The Guardian: "The Tax Justice Network (not to be confused with the rightwing Tax Payers' Alliance) estimates the UK loses about �18bn a year in tax revenue due to 'corporate tax efficiency' ie companies moving offshore. The Iraq war cost at least �8bn. So war with Jersey would not only be morally right but self-financing too. In fact we could probably do a bond issue for the invasion to pay for everything up front with the promise of a steady yearly return for investors."
