The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all

"ANIMAL remains from Sark’s slaughterhouse will no longer be dumped over a cliff side as the island moves towards a more modern method, its government has decided."
More modern than throwing bits off of a cliff ?

Big wicker man/cow or something.
Make a day out of it for the whole family.
Plus the smell might make people hungry and drive sales of burgers, hotdogs etc etc .
Do it at night and might attract ships and they can be smashed on the rocks and looted err... warned of the dangerous rocks nearby.

Not just a Viking axe related attack, a big-tim drug bust too!
Police noticed a smell of cannabis when they went to Devlin's room to arrest him, and he handed over cannabis with an estimated street value of £2.60.
