We’ve got people from England, Scotland, Ireland, America and Holland. We’ve got the personnel to start our own healthcare system – a paramedic and a couple of nurses; our own criminal justice system – a case builder, and a policemen; and an education system – a university professor and a teaching assistant. But that’s not all, we’ve also got writers, editors, stay-at-home parents, managers, bankers and unemployed bums. As my old cultural studies lecture might say: we have a true microcosm of modern society.
