If he's asking questions on behalf of the general public, then he should ask questions that don't give a false impression, like when he asks about who are these people who have been living there for the past few decades. The general public could interpret that as if the people moved there a few decades ago. A professional journalist should do AT LEAST a little research to prepare proper questions.

Poorly researched piece. The crew of the Bounty was shipped to Tahiti in the S. Pacific, not Asia. When the crew mutinied, they cast off Bligh and some loyalists in a longboat, not a "life raft". Pitcairn is a lush, green island, not a "rocky outcrop". Anyone interested in Pitcairn's physical features can watch the drone filmed overview available here on YT btw..

'Life raft' eh! Rubbish! It was a launch! And it had 18 men in it with Bligh and he navigated it 3,500 miles to east Timor and never lost a single man on this staggering voyage. He also mapped islands strapped to the mast which were so accurate they were used up till WW II i.e. from 1789 to 1939. Another 'reporter' who knows nothing about the subject he is supposed to be speaking about. In fact exacrly like modern day 'scientists.'

I have a hard time believing that given the interest and the perks of the island such as no taxes, free land, beautiful tropical environment, etc that only one person has wanted to move there since they started taking applicants. Yeah it is a remote island in the middle of nowhere so some perks we are used to would never be availiable, yeah it has a bad history that may or may not still be going on. (although not everyone applying would even know about that). But you are telling me only 1 person has shown an interest into moving out into an "island paradise" where land is free, a small town environment and no taxes? No way. I am not going to say "it's a scam" because I don't know that, but at the very least they are not making much effort to repopulate the island as they would have you believe.

Nothing else.

you could build an airstrip, it would only require massive mining to get the material out of the mountain.

But then they would need a helicopter pilot and a helicopter, which is quite expensive. The fact remains that with the current population, it is nearly impossible to get people interested in the island

They have always been interbreeding since they came to the island un the 1700's and there were 11 original tahitian (abductees) with 6 tahitian men and 9 (Fletcher & 8 crew) who landed. So should be a varied male edna presently but since Adams was last alive it would be interesting to see whose Ydna rules today. Ydna does not mix like autosomes.

It's all about the money. It costs millions to keep up such an isolated place for a few dozen people, on an island that has no strategic importance to anybody. It's Britain's last Pacific colony and it's not worth the money. Time to send everybody to Norfolk Island, close it down as a nature preserve and staff it with just a couple of scientists to run things. Problem solved. It's been a good run, but that's enough.

The islands are really a far southeast extension of the Toamotus. They should be joined to that nation, instead of being administered by New Zealand, and repopulated by volunteers who wish to settle from that chain.

Pitcairn was a net beneficiary of EU funding. Now that the UK has left the EU Customs Union and Single Market, Pitcairn and all other UK Overseas Territories (excluding Gibraltar) face tariffs of between 6 and 18%, and a 43% tariff on meat exports. What exporting potential Pitcairn once had has been destroyed by the UK's reckless decision to leave the European Union.

The solution is easy. Send all prisoners from u.k. u.s. and canada there, just let them lose on the island. maybe in 200 years theyll be worthwhile like australia.

Pitcairn is a beautiful island. I don't the small population for their efforts to hold on to the island & their individualism. If the British don't want the island they can sell it to the USA.
