Couldn’t agree more Mick. Mind you, when you look at a globe of the World and do a squint to see ‘us’, it’s amazing how we did, and still do, it.

With a fraction of our former mighty presence, currently overrun with incomers apparently needing shelter, and a bunch of self-seekers with one hand on the tiller and the other in the money pit, we have become an offshore island in the pockets of the movers and shakers.

Still the best place to be though. After all, we are actually four nations in one with four decidedly disparate governments. It’s a miracle!
