Secession interests me greatly, as you would imagine.<br /><br />I will also add your site to my blogroll.<br /><br />Good luck with your plans. The Cape is indeed a beautiful part of the world. I have been there often.<br /><br />Mooi bly,<br /><br />CR.Captain Rantyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07839241144954596066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-13607637127620917872010-06-18T10:52:32.106+01:002010-06-18T10:52:32.106+01:00CR,

Speaking of UDI etc. The Cape in South Africa has a political movement aiming for secession of the Cape from South Africa. <br /><br />I won't bore you with the details however I'm going to leave you with 2 links. <br /><br />First to this publication from the mid to early 80's by a South African suggesting solution for S.A. before Apartheid was abolished. It is very Libertarian in it's approach and if you have a few spare hours I'd recommend it to anyone who is interested in local rule/politics: http://www.scribd.com/doc/32877434/Louw-Kendall-The-Solution<br /><br />And the second link because I'm attemtping drive traffic to my blog in order to spread the message of secession. http://capepartyuk.blogspot.com<br /><br />Hope you don't mind.<br /><br />Cheers<br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-33889333413888264552010-06-11T19:18:13.888+01:002010-06-11T19:18:13.888+01:00Funnily enough I only said to someone the other da...Funnily enough I only said to someone the other day that if Tasmania started a campaign for UDI I'd be tempted to move there.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-67705001542461432142010-06-11T01:33:46.477+01:002010-06-11T01:33:46.477+01:00I wish Scotland would be so enlighted but we have ...I wish Scotland would be so enlighted but we have too many labour supporters here.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-51057651447665678942010-06-09T20:04:25.571+01:002010-06-09T20:04:25.571+01:00Indeed James.

Tax on "foreign" drilling companies. They don't even have to claim the oil for themselves. They just charge for exploration and production.<br /><br />Nice.<br /><br />CR.Captain Rantyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07839241144954596066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-28397095556084003542010-06-09T19:32:15.633+01:002010-06-09T19:32:15.633+01:00It will be hysterical countering the "It'...It will be hysterical countering the "It's Scotlands oil" claim with a no, it's Shetlands. :-DQuiet_Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575652127079681825noreply@blogger.com
