    There's 450,000 on the dole who can't find jobs, and they can't all leave for Australia. I suggest giving them a year to leave, then rounding up the others and herding them off Dun Aungus when the year runs out and they haven't left. That's my solution to the EU's call for punitive sanctions on those unemployed who can't find work.

    Would gas chambers not be more efficient ?

    We're trying to save money- a ferry trip to Aran and a quick drop off the cliff saves the state more than gas chambers or shooting, though I did a cost-benefit analysis of those methods too.

    This is a dead thread! This thread is no more! It has ceased to be! It has expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late thread. It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! It has run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This is an ex-thread!

    Yes lets punish those people without Jobs further.

    The only problem is our trains don't run on time.

    The naval blockade of Germany is off then?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Quite an involved plan. It sounds like the implementation of this initiative would create some much needed jobs.

    We could do with throwing a load of old people on that ferry ride too. A drain on our health service and drawing a pension.
