The Guardian: "Jersey threatens to break with UK over tax backlash" (Impact on Hammerson at Brent Cross South unknown)

Link to The Guardian

"A barrage of regulatory clampdowns and political attacks on the Channel Islands' controversial financial industry has prompted one of Jersey's most senior politicians to call for preparations to be made to break the 'thrall of Whitehall', and declare independence from the UK.

"... In the face of ferocious political attack, Jersey is for the first time opening an office in London, and is frantically building lobbying contacts in Washington, in an effort to repair relations. 

"It has hired a top London public relations firm, Brunswick." ["Brunswick is an international corporate communications partnership that helps businesses and other organizations address critical communications challenges. We started in London in 1987, and have grown organically as a private partnership in 20 cities around the world."]
