    No-one overseas wants them, Andy. Other countries have had the same problem with banks going bust, and have an exuberance of bankers, as the City does. Until recently, it was still claimed that, if their bonuses were touched, a top banker could stroll abroad and would get a higher paid job than in the City, choosing his own wage. Reality is different.

    State regulation of banks is becoming stricter, and my guess is that international tax-havens will soon be dealt with, once law-enforcement is imposed on tax avoidance. Tax-havens literally destroy the world economy.

    One example being, Spain has lost two thirds of corporate tax income since 2007 due to corporate tax avoidance, with the exception of the 5 biggest companies there. That equates to 32 billion euro a year less income for the Spanish treasury.
    Sure, that money is going elsewhere, but the result is, Spain might get a bailout, at the huge expense of other economies. Adding to all the austerity measures in Spain anyway.

    So there is no gain for the Public at large, neither in Spain nor in those countries who might have to bail out the Spanish economy.
    Consequently, international tax-avoidance is an international Plague, it needs combating through severe legislation, where authorities in different countries agree to clamp down hard.
    And the safest way for this is for strict scrutiny on bankers, so that whatever they do with other people's money, it is being tracked and noted: no matter where that money comes from.
