BBC NEWS | World | Americas | Cayman Islands fears as debts grow.
There will be no income tax; there will be no property tax. We are not asking the United Kingdom for anything. I wouldn’t expect the UK to give me anything; I wouldn’t expect their taxpayers to pay for anything in the Cayman Islands
So said McKeeva Bush, PM of the Cayman Islands yesterday on BBC Radio 4.
But then, once upon a time Fred Goodwin would have said of RBS:
There will be no problem; there will be no liquidity crisis. We are not asking the United Kingdom for anything. I wouldn’t expect the UK to give me anything; I wouldn’t expect their taxpayers to pay for anything in RBS
The trouble was that Fred ignored the implict guarantee that allowed him to operate as irresponsibly as he did: so is McKeeva Bush. But the Foreign Office are not.
Good that they’re not this time.
Cayman remains bust.

don’t see how you can blame an individual for the actions of Gordon’s clowns.
