Why aren't these types on the treadmill and picking oakum as prisoners are supposed to do?
Pain, or damage, don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man, and give some back. - Al Swearengen, Deadwood.

I wasn't talking about criminals who get their board and lodgings for free, not asylum seekers, who should be paid the living wage.

No not heavy metal. It is the latest installment in a very luctative film franchise directed by none other than Floo Flooster whose examination of the rigid  nature of our penal policies is very enlightening with its talk of Evil Scum, Sicko's, weirdo's and the like. Floo F. Has a repergoire in emotional language that runs the gamut from A to A.

A most underrated director.
Before we work on Artificial Intelligence shouldn't we address the problem of natural stupidity.

I'm happy with the idea of asylum seekers receiving the living wage for work, carefully so they are under tax threshold - hopeuflly, before they are granted asylum.

In the meantime, working for less is better than nothing.

So it would be fine to pay them a penny an hour? After all it's better than nothing.
