Australia refused this time? Can't blame them after what happened before.
- Harold from neighbours?
what is UK really good at these days? like does anything work out there?
- We're pretty good at committing acts of economic self harm
  Traitors is pretty good TV, I guess
  
  Slow Horses isn't terrible either.
- The world's foremost experts on whinging as I understand it.
- Hiding money off shore.
  
  But you guys are already off shores 🤔
- The only thing I can think of is sending actors out to pretend to be Americans in American TV shows. Australia & New Zealand are strong in this field too, but I think we've still just about got the edge on it.
- Were the best at, exporting actors with crappy opinions to the US.
  Bit slow on politicians but Farage and Subak will get there.
Perhaps having a fucking tory leading the labour party is a shit idea like it was last time you did it with tony blair....
Seems that if a nation has gotten to the point of needing to send people to a whole different nation due to prison overcrowding. Then it really should be a crucial time to change laws on shit that exist to feed the prison industrial complex. But I am not shocked that the nation that was shipping people to Australia originally for the same reasons is falling back on doing it. Though I am kind of shocked that they aren't just funding the US complex to build prisons here to send them to.
Nooooo, keep those crazy fuckers out
So when Estonian jails fill up, they'll ship them as volunteers to Ukraine?
