So they've been under blockade for 30 years and although there is civil unrest there is no real danger of a coup or Ahmadinejad being other thrown. How long are you planning to blockade Monaco for?Alan Fry wrote:The people are not happy at all!Dave W wrote:And?

You cite Iran as an example but as I've pointed out and you've (conveniently ignored), they haven't given in after 30 years.Alan Fry wrote:We can force them to give in!Dave W wrote:And what do we achieve from stirring up civil unrest?

Face it Alan, if you introduced sanctions against tax havens, which are typically small population countries with high GDP, they would be able to sustain themselves for a very very long time.
Policing sanctions busting would be another major cost, particularly as these societies could afford to sanctions bust.
Just not very sensible.

Yes, in countries that actually have rebel groups.Alan Fry wrote: Hence why if these does not work, I will then covertly fund "rebel" group to cause civil unrest (The CIA have done this many times)

So you are going to encourage a civil unrest in, for instance, the Cayman Islands - a civil war between 54,878 people that inhabit just 102 square miles? That's going to be fun.Alan Fry wrote:

Its not as if these people can't afford their own mercenaries anyway.

I doubt Switzerland would participate in any sort of blockade, which would sort of cock up your plan.Alan Fry wrote:For a start, we will ask them to reform their tax laws (so that they refuse), if not then the Nations of Europe and North America will put sanctions against the nation (along with a blockade), if this does not work, then we will find "alternative" political parties so that they have a better chance of winning and thus give in, if that fails, then we will fund rebel groups, if that (unlikely) fails, only then will war happenKevo00 wrote:Alright then, Lichtenstein, which has similar demographics.

But BA sold off their regional operations twice. Why would they want them again?
As for LCC, they sold off Go! to Easyjet, BA doesn't want to do LCC stuff otherwise they'd have done it already, doing a LCC version would tarnish their image of a full service flagship airline, something I very much doubt they'd want to do.

I suspect BA know what they are doing.
As for them selling regional operations twice, I got that wrong, I thought they'd sold BA Cityflyer as well. Whoops.
