They are there, gloating about their crimes without any contrition
Why can't they be whipped, every day for at least one year to remind them of what they have done?
And after their sentences are completed, they can be transported to Australia just like the old days.
And no, I'm not joking!

No need for any attention from guards, prison visitors and medics. Just a small job of sweeping up the bones and left-overs after they've turned their toes up. Actually, though, the rats could do most of that for us.

Imagine how many crimes that would be committed just so they could come here. Transportation to Australia!?...They should be so lucky. The following is a list of the remaining British colonies.

I think I'd prefer to send them to the third option. Nothing much there to destroy.
In all seriousness, bearing in mind that we sent all our worst criminals to Australia, they seem to have made it into quite a successful country.
By the same token, if we take all the rubbish from France and the EU, perhaps they can make the UK a more successful country?
Like hell!

Re: Young girl shot dead
Haw..as long as the BAT isn't next to the Australian territory. Not sure. Pity the penguins
..As far as the worst criminals being sent to Australia, well that has been extensively researched. I thought the very worst were hanged there in Britain. Some of the "crimes" that attracted transportation were so petty it beggars belief. Conversely there were many of the real bad ones that made quite a go of it in their new world. They were tough in a tough land. It is a widely held belief by scholars of history however that the seminal work on the history of transportation to Australia and the South Pacific is "The Fatal Shore" by Robert Hughes. It is one of the best books I have ever read. I'd encourage you to read it. Yes we are successful. Not "quite"..very. For many reasons but the main one is that we believe we are. It's called optimism. That's what I think you guys need a lot more of. I have been genuinely shocked at the way many of you bucket your own country. Quite sad really.

Unfortunately, as I have said elsewhere, this country is now really divided: politically, the EU, class differences, criminally, etc.
We used to be a very unified country, or at least that's how I remember it as a child, and certainly during and before the war.
That's what I find sad.
