I reckon we should do swaps.
Every decent person we get, we send an idiot away.
Or underground. To walk in giant treadmills to give us power.

This works
I'd vote for it.

Glad to hear it.

This is a good plan
but the problem is that it involves people and people aren't a continuous variable. I can model peoples behaviours but, using a scoring system similar to that in Oz, we could (a) create a system that's appropriate to the economic needs of the UK and (b) build it and we'd STILL get bleeding-heart-liberal-scum-sucking-****s complaining about it.

Well you know what? Fcuk 'em.

Well clearly
The " bleeding-heart-liberal-scum-sucking-****s" would be shoved down "Carbon-Organic Collection Plant".

This
is the greatest thing I've ever read on the internet.

Lots of people want to come to Britain to work and in doing so make a huge contribution to the economy and wellbeing of the nation.

We can send the resident oxygen thieves to Kaol's treadmills to keep the lights on.

Genius....

Of course.
It'll be like Maggie Thatcher laying the first brick on the American Library Of Independence.
Then I'll go back to ruling the surface-world.

Oh

isn't that what you did in the first place?
dump a whole lot of crims here so you wouldn't have to deal with them?

yup
It was pretty good while it lasted :0)

As an example how silly it was though, I met a girl over here about 10 years ago whose great-grandfather was shipped off for stealing underwear from peoples washing lines!

To be fair to you...
...we only exported the ones we couldn't elect.
(Bicycle Repairman "you're also a bit of a wanker", Fri 8 May 2009, 15:35, Reply)

bet you would still do the same thing now though
if you could.
(Poppet some assembly required., Fri 8 May 2009, 15:38, Reply)

Yes...
...starting with the ones we elected in 1997.

We could do a deal with the Aussie government, they would be allowed to torpedo the ship carrying them the moment it enters Australian territorial waters.

Everyone's a winner.

Can we swap
Gordon Brown for Kevin Rudd? We'll chuck Tony in as well just to even things up a little.

And we'll take John Howard as well just for the hell of it.
( SpikeyPickle wishes he was mabazaritchie, Fri 8 May 2009, 15:40, Reply)

I vote for this.
Can we sweeten the deal by offering Mr Rudd a knighthood?

no
johnny howard is obsolete. No body cares about him any more.

Okay, okay!
We'll even throw in Harriet Harman and Hazel Blears.

Literally.
