Not here my friend - no one wants a bunch of criminals on their doorstep!
Australia still has plenty of room.
Our prisons are usually built in some remote area that nobody would want to live in.
Quote: bigfella @ June 28 2009, 4:28 PM BSTWhat we need is some politicians prepared to pass decent laws in this country that put the fear of God into people. Have the bastards breaking rocks somewhere.
What we need is some Victorian jails.
Quote: bigfella @ June 28 2009, 4:28 PM BSTWe don't need to pat these people on the back and tell them to say sorry.
We need to throw them in the aforementioned windowless Victorian prisons.
Quote: bigfella @ June 28 2009, 4:28 PM BSTAnd we need more police on the streets, doing something.
Indeed. Not confined by targets or ethnic worries or red tape, paperwork...
Quote: bigfella @ June 28 2009, 4:28 PM BSTI've said it before, drink is a massive problem in this country - the desire to get pissed! I've been there and done it, but have hardly touch a drop for ten years. When your pissed you don't know what your're doing half the time. So that needs sorting out as well - hammer up the price of booze, increase the legal age to 21.
Tax on alcohol should be 110%.

That's called the countryside over here. 
it's all protected.
Old prison hulks are the answer - have em out in the channel and the north sea.

Solitary is important - they share their criminal ways otherwise.
That's another thing. Abolish the human rights act.

Ooh, now that is a good idea.
Then sink them.

Good points all of them.

Unfortunately they're likely to get arrested.

Victorian prisons and abolition of human rights act.

Don't you have a bunch of mines that nobody works in anymore?
Or maybe our humanitarian assistance programs for third world countries should come with a stipulation that every bag of rice is accompanied by a street thug.

Ok that might help.
But it's more deeprooted than that - there is a lack of respect - for police, teachers, parents everything.
God. I feeling like standing to be an MP!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh -that's a thought.
Can't we make everyday the G20 riots?
Quote: DaButt @ June 28 2009, 4:58 PM BSTSounds like your government has gone all soft and touchy-feely. The people need to demand that the cops enforce the laws and clean up the streets. Build more prisons, if necessary.
Gone? We've been electing these wishy washy c**ts for the past decade, passing hundreds of headline-grabbing but ineffectual laws which only serve to hinder the police and support the criminal underbelly of society. But hey, that's their voter base, so what's the surprise?

After a few hundred years we'll have created a race of blind, albino, mutant marauders like in the movies!
