This is a serious constitutional step which the UK government has not taken lightly."
The islands' governor, Gordon Wetherell, denied that the step was a "British takeover".
"Public services will continue to be run by the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands, as indeed they should be," he said. "Our goal is to make a clean break from the mistakes of the past by establishing a durable path towards good governance, sound financial management and sustainable development."
An inquiry into governance – headed by Sir Robin Auld, a former high court judge – was launched after a delegation of visiting British MPs reported a "climate of fear" existed on the islands. The inquiry was told that Misick and his former wife, an actor, LisaRaye McCoy-Misick, spent a fortune on a luxury lifestyle which revolved around champagne, designer clothes and private jets.......

I would guess that this is about the control of off shore banking, ie the Rockfeller-Rothschild-City of London combine do not have sufficient control over the island's financial 'services'. Perhaps, they want to close it down altogether to get rid of competition.
Otherwise, the move makes no sense. No doubt, there is corruption there but that's probably always been the case.
More importantly, we are not told of anyone, any politician who has been found guilty of corruption in a court, or that any promising cases has been quashed due to corruption. The UK Government is taking action as if their evidence has been tested in a court. This is highly premature. The UK says you can't trust the courts but they are in charge of these courts. The official explanation is not the real reason action is being taken. |
