Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!
Britain is sending its prisoners, sorry, refugees to live on hulks, sorry, a barge moored on the Thames.
Apparently an Oz company is running the barge — now, there's a bit of table-turning for you — which will eventually house either 150 or 300 people (depending on which TV news you watch).
Either way, the occupants of the 1723 version were eventually sent to Oz — after the Yanks kicked up a stink about them going to the Land of the Free.
Let's hope the Poms don't try that stunt again.

A whole new spin at the "off shore detention centre" idea Maybe there will be a market for them with the people smugglers, a deluxe channel crossing maybe?

They have had to evacuate the thing already, Legionella was found in the air circulation system that leads to legionnaire disease, I'm guessing that wasn't one of the ways they wanted to discourage refugees from coming to the country ...... They might need to upgrade the air circulation system to the heat pump type ...... then the ones that can't afford to live in their council flats will move in and they can put the refugees in the council flats and make them pay their own way ....
