Now that this report is finally done and paid for..., the FIG(leaf) can start the process of selecting and hiring some new Engrish Supeheads to produce the much needed socio-economic impact report of oil and gas not being developed in them Islands...

Careful what you wish for, Think. All them tyres wouldn’t burn with as much black smoke if they weren’t made from oil.

this report was released in October so has taken a couple of months for the press to find out about it. understandable as there is nothing new or exciting but simply the latest publication of a series of assumptions on this subject over the years from the policy unit. no comparison with the previous guesses. expect another one in 5 to 10 years time when another new head of policy feels it timely for him/her to be the author of the next round of what-ifs.

Have they also looked at the environmental impact of an oil leak? Both fishing and tourism are dependent on it.
