What a good idea

Let them have caravans to live in.
We already have these they knock on your door and ask if you would like your drive tarmacked.

Exactly my thoughts when I read this.

I quite enjoyed the film!

Since the Dutch programme is further along than ours, perhaps we could send them our bike thieves etc.

I spend a fair bit of time in Holland, I have family there (Amsterdam) and we often have Dutch news in the house, but this is news to me.

I agree with Fallout; unless you sterilise the adults and take existing kids away from them, you're going to create ghettos and store up problems for the future. Even so, as someone who has had to contact the council about neighbours being a PITA on several occasions, I think having a no go area full of scum* 10 miles away from my house is preferable.

If it works with those figures: £810,000 for 13,000 complaints resolved, that's £62 per complaint. If you have had any visibility of council spending in the UK on scum, you will know that is very, very cheap social problem solving.

*sorry, "Anti-social families" is too verbose. :P

Any party that proposed bringing this in would get my vote! I already have a few thoughts of people to add to the list

Oh and who cares about policing the new ghettos - why not just lock them all in and let them fight it out...

You're talking about me arent you? I know you are, dont try and deny it!!!

hehe

But as an idea it has merits but also some huge drawbacks - isnt that how the favellas in places likeBrazil started out and look at them now, more powefully armed than the army / police and far more desperate so willing to kill anything that is a threat to them be it man, woman or child.

How about a floating island that can be dragged far out to see, that way as the fizzy ones says they can fight it out amongst themselves and be no real threat to us normal* people.


*i use this term sparing and selectively, i dont know many normal people and most of you on this thread tat i do know are not "normal" in any way, and I thank god for it!!!
