i think its a great idea, how much it would cost is another question, but if it protects the danes then why not, of course it would never happen here, to many bleeding hearts...

They could name it Newstralia.
Brilliant idea. Well done, Denmark. I'm sure we have quite a few deserted islands here which could be put to similar use.
I don't think it's very practical and historically islands don't have a good track record of being effective in keeping people on them, however in principle if people are illegal immigrants and repeatedly committing serious crimes it's something to consider. I would not however be in favour of anything like this if it simply meant housing non criminal illegal immigrants alongside those who have committed crimes, that would be completely unacceptable. Denmark is by and large a very free and forward thinking country and I would be surprised if this gains much support amongst grass roots Danes.
What's not to like about the scheme unless you are one who disrepects and abuses the hospitality of a country who wishes no other than to offer refuge and safety.At least Denmark have the initiative to show that these foreign criminals and bogus asylum seekers are given not given the false sense of entitlement that they expect because of their alien status

You will be surprised. The Danes are very practical. Not sure what forward-thinking means, though.
//I don't think it's very practical and historically islands don't have a good track record of being effective in keeping people on them, //

You spend a lot of time in the States. Check out how many escaped from Alcatraz in it's long history as a Pen. Then checkout Devil's Island in French Guiana. Islands are the best place to isolate these prisoners.
For many there'll be a ferry service between the island and the mainland, more like a halfway house whilst being processed for some.

Denmark's criminals, their choice.
I have long been a fan of the Danes, especially Queen Margrethe II, a talented author, illustrator and linguist. To hear her speak English you would not know she was foreign.

Not sure there's any need to get personal, we all have the opportunity to state our views on this News story.
Sure, Mamya.
British islands are cold and wet.
Send them to Sentinel.
It's okay Mamy, personal insults are the only refuge for those without argument, and it's good to see VE sticking to normal form. I'd worry if he ever had a valid point.
What facts are at my disposal (as a luvvi or otherwise)?
Oooh well let's start with one huge glaring one shall we? In the last 250 years worldwide there have been only been 14 prison islands. Out of those, for logistical reasons and failures, only 2 are still open (Rikers Island complex, US and Ognenny Ostrov, Russia). Governments do not close successful facilities. It's as simple as that.
With regard to the two existing Island prisons Ognenny Ostrov has a 50% TB rate, routine mental health issues, a 23 hours per day lockdown and the guards have permission to shoot dead would be escapees. Do you that very likely to go down well in Denmark? Or even be legal?
Rikers Island houses only prisoners on remand, with no bail money or short term prisoners and is scheduled for closure before 2027 (it is actually being moved forward to an estimated 2022), so please tell me VE if this is such a good idea, why would the Danish jail be one of only two remaining jails ( if you can count it's Russian counterpart as a jail which is far more like a concentration camp and only houses those with a whole life tariff who will never be released)?
I'd love to hear an actual opinion of yours (based on facts obviously) that doesn't involve snide remarks about my age, my profession or rather randomly my race.
I'm impressed by your capacity for research on penal colonies and their efficacy, Kvalidir.

I withdraw my earlier suggestion that you were quoting from a propaganda sheet.
Kval, where did you the idea from any of my posts that I have an animus towards the young, thespians, or whites?
I envy the young their youth; but am not jealous of it.

I wish all aspiring actors success and happiness.

And I'm concerned about whites and other endangered species.
Looked like something Dominic Cumberbatch would say.
Sounds made up too.
Bang, bang Mamya's silver hammer...
Pardon?
