Too Wee, Too Poor, Too Sark?

Sark is a tiny British crown dependency off the coast of northern France with a population of only 500, and yet it has more political autonomy than the nation of Scotland.  Technically it's part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, but that's almost meaningless because unanimity between the three island parliaments (Guernsey's, Alderney's and Sark's) is required for any Bailiwick-wide decisions to take effect.  So effectively Sark is in control of all its affairs apart from foreign relations and defence - something akin to what George Galloway used to call "Devo SUPER Max", although in fact it's superior to that because Sark isn't even in the UK.  I visited Sark on Tuesday, and recorded this quick video message to try to bring a new perspective to the perennial "too wee, too poor, too stupid" jibe.
