  But I do think, Barry, that if it were so easy to reap a profit with huge benefits somewhere outside Dover through investing, some bank or company would already have done so! Investing like that can also be very risky, and more than one company in the past has gone bankrupt or almost, and left the creditors dry.
  But I could not see people of Dover welcoming the idea of buying bonds for a share in the Port and then seeing this money be invested anywhere but in Dover and District, as Dover would become poorer and not better off.
  But the question of investing Port incomes in Dover regenration projects does seem to have been the main original idea behind the whole issue from the start, and the bonds issue seems to add a mill=stone to all this, as Dover Port selling bonds would imply being liable o the bond-holders and having to pay them interest or dividends, but then how would they find the income to invest in regeneration for Dover? Too many obligations would make the whole scheme precarious.
  Add to that the sums that are estimated to build up Western Docks, and the whole scheme would fall into the sea!
