timmytree Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Good idea. Use Ascension Island. 3 months food, some basic tools and nothing else. Criminal refugees will be perfectly safe from persecution down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why not, they could send some of theirs too. Then use it for bombing practice. 2 minutes ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: Do you think the locals would really want them?

What was the one abandoned in the 30's? There's still houses on it. Poifect. {I remember the government relocated a few 100 people at the time. Because the islanders were outdoor folk some mandarin thought it would be good to give some of the men jobs in the fledgling forestry commission. Despite the fact the wind on the island meant nothing grew over 6ft tall so they had never even seen a tree 😂) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyefor Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) How about finding one that is 10ft under water at every high tide? Zero overpopulation issues, no food demands, no prison officers required and self cleansing? "Next boatload please"!

guzzicat Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Dead easy, choose a Scotish island & give the SNP the job of organising the food supply, they would resort to canibalism in 3 months & be wiped out in six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaunda Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 We have a couple of low lying islands in the Humber,might fit the bill, very suitable for low life.Failing that there is always Rockall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
