Guardian: "The public are to be offered the chance to purchase shares in new prisons under a 'buy to let' scheme being considered by the Home Office, it emerged yesterday.
The idea has been floated in an attempt to overcome the refusal of the chancellor, Gordon Brown, to find the extra money needed for 8,000 new prison places at a time when the service is at breaking point."
Is it April 1 already? Or is this just an admission of incompetence?
It seems like an extension of the New Labour policy of 'you only get what you pay for'. Deregulate criminality, Tony. That's the best option: force all criminals to pay for a crime licence. And make their weapons tax deductible.
In good old Murka they have found a better solution: create a privatised prison industry. The privatised law enforcers have the right to consider anyone a criminal, bust him and then confiscate his possessions. The business finances itself.
After the pay-for-peerage scandal, now this. Have these neocon labourites no shame?
