Discussion on British Politics

[Nuka]

Meh, it's a hard one...

The islands are kinda like your 18 year old little brother fresh out of school thinking he knows everything.

Sure he can open a bank account have his own money and try and be independent.

However when some older person or group of people starts to harass you all of a sudden he's asking you for help, your like nah bro thought your a big boy now, and he's like nah please remember that time we signed an agreement saying you would protect me about a thousand years ago. And your like fuck yeah what was I thinking.


That's kinda the relationship between Jersey & the UK. But only a fool would think Brexit won't affect them. No Common Travel Area, no Free trade (and yes your right Jersey does have a special relationship with the EU but it's only due to being a U.K. territory that'll be gone once Brexit) oh and no one hides their billions in Jersey lol.

People hide their money in a place with no relationship to the UK, including not enforcing U.K. warrants of seizure etc.

Wrong, this wonderful island I live on is a tax haven and offshore, I think I know since both my parents have companies in the financial sector. The relationship between Jersey and UK is that we are a crown dependency, the queen is the head of state and appoints a Lieutenant Governor, who is only the ceremonial representative of the queen, all our laws are made in Jersey and we have our own courts and police force. Our island does not have copyright laws for example while the UK does. Brexit will not affect Jersey as Jersey was never even in the European Union in the first place (ever), there is a trade agreement set in place instead so that the island may trade with EU countries, and it will remain that way even after Brexit is over.

You are only correct in the fact that we do not have any armed forces, however we won't be needing them anyway.

You have mistaken us for a territory like the Cayman Islands.

Still,you're not independent.Jersey's website literally states that.In any case,Brexit will affect it,as it is connected to the UK.

Yes, they're dependent on the UK, but not an entity aligned with it.
