Maybe we could follow Nauru into the tax haven business
and set up some laundries etc. ("claims" now lifted )

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nauru

In the 1990s, Nauru became a tax haven and offered passports to foreign nationals for a fee. The inter-governmental Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) then identified Nauru as one of 15 "non-cooperative" countries in its fight against money laundering. Under pressure from FATF, Nauru introduced anti-avoidance legislation in 2003, following which foreign hot money flowed out of the country. In October 2005, this legislation—and its effective enforcement—led the FATF to lift the non-cooperative designation.[25]

or we could be an offshore detention centre for ? - USA?

Since 2001, Nauru has accepted aid from the Australian government; in exchange for this aid, Nauru houses an offshore detention centre that holds and processes asylum seekers trying to enter Australia.

looks like Norwich to Lands End is about the same as Perth to Kalgoorlie -
and you don't have to dodge bludy kangaroos all the way

(and a trip from Perth to the SA border - is like a trip from Lands End to Dover - Calais - thru Belgium and Holland and Germany to Denmark)

We'll end up as Nauru did after the phospate mines were exhausted.
They tried to set up a fund to pay for futures need but somehow that was squandered.

The oil countries in the Middle East have their soveign funds which are at least creating possible sources of income in the future.

It's time the government here started to do more on this unless they are going to open the country as a dumping ground.
