   Excellent that you should catch Jersey Special Branch red handed on the job. What can I say – BLAST. Keep it coming.

   Interesting film. I live in Jersey and am interested in the way the local, national and global economy works.
   .
   I am interested in your perspective, as I very much believe that the present tax structures in many of the economies in the world are very unfair for the poorer minority.
   .
   I believe that it is no accident that economies such as the one emgineered for Jersey, exploite the islands resources (including manpower) in order to generate maximum profit for a small selfish, ruthless wealthy minority.
   .
   This results in enslavement for the vast majority in menial employment, with many people, especially the locals, are forced to be underemployed and some, unemployed.
   .
   Where I presently do not back any particular political party, or movement.
   I am interested in learning more about how you see the Jersey’s economy works, and what alternatives economic models you would put in place to replace the present model.
   .
   Including any strategies that will help phase the old model out / new model in, and plans to cater for the people who will be affected by the change in economic model, as many will loose their jobs and will be left in an island that has insufficient employment for its population (even bigger than the unemployment level that presently exists due to imported labor* which happens to be paid for by the local income tax paid by the people on lower wages. Crafty shits!).

   Cont.

   I think that if you wish to change the present system, you will need to change your method of delivery of information to a method that is simple to understand for even the people of lower intel.
   .
   As, to change the way an economy works, you will need to convince the general public that the present system is wrong and offer them a more effective / fair alternative.
   .
   I think that you need to learn more about communicating you message in a simple, easy to understand way, ideally, in a way that also is entertaining (perhaps using pictures/video/music).
   .
   As, presently, I believe that most of the population are simply prisoners of the present local government, and do not understand how their islands economy works and how they are being exploited.
   .
   Don’t complicate your message. Simplify all elements so that they can be understood by the layman, so that they can then do something to change the present. (if that is their choice).
   .
   If your solution will put them out of work, I am doubtful that they will back you, even if your system is fair, not many people will understand that if your solution is to make them unemployed.
