Default What a good idea

It seems that that Amsterdam has a problem with 'anti-social' tenants & 'nuisance' neighbours.

Their solution?

Simple - create 'Scum Villages' where the above will be exiled from the city and rehoused in caravans or containers with "minimal services" under constant police supervision.

Now why didn't we think of that?

Full story can be found HERE

Yes, within reason I think it is a good idea, when I say 'within reason' I think care needs to be taken over quite what is considered to constitute anti social behaviour. I can imagine that such a system could be misused.

But I'm not against it at all, I think people should experience the consequences appropriate to their actions. I can already hear a shyster human wrongs lawyer squealing though.

If the Dutch, who are far more 'lenient' / easy going / 'progressive' than we are over Human Rights, plan to implement this then I don't see that any of our British Shysters have a leg to stand on - or is that just wishful thinking?

What about there human rights .
The Euro crats will never let it through.
Look at the agro we have in the UK about giving a vote to prison inmates.

Good plan though

Great idea but of course nobody would want such a place anywhere near them...

Part of me does wonder if we'd end up with super-ferral-villains as a consequence. After a couple of generations they fight back, with only a bearded vigilante on a badly modded trail bike festooned with rubbish fake missiles to save us. So basically, let's go for it but make sure we all have Chuck on speed dial first!

This solution is fine, but it only works if you sterilize the adults to prevent a constant turn over of new scum, otherwise you're just creating a breading ground of vermin.
