It is NOT a well known fact that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light,merely the belief by scientists,and Stephen Hawking, who have misinterpreted, and have not seen that the actual proof that the speed of light CAN be exceeded HAS been proved, by mathematics,mathematical equations, and by logic as being so, by Einstein as a direct matter of fact and mathematical equation, and by Squirrel, by logic.
Now the speed of light, (or the speed of a photon) in a near-perfect vacuum is exactly 186,282 miles per second. We perceive photons (light) traveling at this speed because they are massless, or have no ‘weight’ (but they do have kinetic energy, more on that in a bit). Light itself cannot go faster than 186,282 miles per second, but the photons that normally travel at that speed can be slowed down. An example of this can be seen in water where light is slowed to 3/4th of its normal speed.So light can be slowed, as can anything, speedy or not.Einstein once called the speed of light The Universe's speed limit. Is this a speed limit that can be broken?
Each of the letters of E = mc² stands for a particular physical quantity. Writing them out in full we get:
Energy = mass x the speed of light squared
In other words:
E = energy (measured in joules, J)
m = mass (measured in kilograms, kg)
c = the speed of light (measured in metres per second, ms-1)
In order for the equation to be correct we need to "square" the term c (the speed of light), i.e. we multiply the speed of light by itself: hence c² is the same as c times c. This allows us to be write the equation in another, slightly unusual, but equally correct way:
E = m x c x c
The equation tells us that energy and mass are the same thing, and how much energy is contained in a given mass, or vice versa. In other words, mass is really very tightly packed energy. That energy and mass are really the same thing is quite an extraordinary claim and seems to go against two laws that had been established by scientists before Einstein came along:Einstein showed via his now famous equation was that mass and energy are in fact the same thing.
Converting one into the other doesn’t therefore violate either of the two conservation laws. Both quantities are conserved, although the state of the mass/energy may have changed. Energy becomes mass, mass can become energy (forms of), but have the same qauntity as it were, but a change of proper form.
Well it does state, you know that one becomes the other, mass, becomes energy, only when it is accelerated to the square to the speed of light (the speed of light times itself, for the required value), hence 34,700,983,524 miles per second, very much faster than light eh! Whot! Indeed it is! Yes, but it is NOT light which has attained this speed of direct violation, the mass has reached that velocity and become energy............so we can conclude the speed of light isa limit of speed of light only, and has not to do with anything else but light, so,the speed of light can be exceeded, but not by light itself. So Einstein's equations, by simple logic, are correct, and he is correct that the speed of light is a speed limit, BUT it is not imposed on everything only on light itself, everything else can achieve different and varying acceleration and even yet exceed the speed of light when suitably acted on............you see else the equation E=mc(squared), doesn't work you see, simple logic dictates that, else the equations are wrong,so IF the equations are right,then Secret Squirrel is right, and we can then achieve the square of the speed of light as the proving equation has been suitably supplied by Einstein, merely being misinterpreted.It's been proven, argue with the irrefutable logic of it. So says Squirrel.

Secret Squirrel Presents A Plan To Run Amtrak On Time.
Secret Squirrel knows considerable about the railroads, and indeed, America's in particular. Squirrel romped about Europe, taking trains, in Germany, Squirrel made a 5 minute train exchange, as in 5 minutes BETWEEN trains,and Squirrel noted that German trains ran on time, like clockwork, arrival and departure,the Deutsche Bahn. Squirrel has taken trains in Canada as well,The Via Rail, not stolen of course, but has rode them, and they have been on time. Squirrel has noted that there are timing problems with trains in Britain, but they are all privatized, foreign owned as such and there really is willy nilly no real control over them beyond paying ever increasing rates the government said would'nt occur when they privatized British Rail.
However, America's AMTRAK, does really have a central authority as the passenger trains,The Amtrak, is owned by and operated by, GOVERNMENT, the Americans didn't,haven'and have stated they won't, PRIVATIZE The Amtrak, as they wished Britain's rail privatized,thinking it wasn't a good idea for THEM, but was for the British government. Squirrel suspects the American government was up to no good for the rails, and the people of Britain when it told the British governmnet to privatize British rail. Well, so now there is a central authority to control things, idiot or not depending on your view of the American politicians,the government.
Now Squirrel knows, what happens in America, is that each and every freight train has priority over The Amtrak where ever the Amtrak is or runs, on all rail lines.The net result is The Amtrak waits on a siding for a freight to pass it,of course, increasing the time it is late. Well, Squirrel suggests timing The Amtrak, the different routes and noting the average late time,start to end. So, knowing that, we now redo the schedules,using the sensible actual time rates, and publish those for the Amtrak schedule. Now, there are times IT MAY,be still actually late, but nowhere's near by as much now, and the schedule can be further modified to reduce even that. Also the train,The Amtrak, may now actually also arrive ON TIME or, even yet EARLY!, In deed the latter two have a 66% odds,or 33% each on chance early or on time! And only a 33% LATE!!Huzzah!
Huzzah!Huzzah!Hooray for Squireel, solving The Amtrak lateness problems!No need for the American government to thank Squirrel, hands across the puddle eh whot!!! Of course Squirrel mentions, that the same could be applied in Britain for notably late,always late,British trains, but then Britain doesn't own them,as the Americans do,so the British government can do nothing about it, UNLESS, the British Government, wisely follows The American lead, and PRIVATIZES British Rail, come now,the Americans can hardly object.

Secret Squirrel To Ban People from War, Will Send Sheeple.
Secret Squirrel was suddenly startled in to wakefullness on reading and finding,an article in the Daily Mail to be found here...
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2884920/Could-SHEEP-solve-problem-poor-Wi-Fi-signal-countryside-Animals-digital-collars-act-hotspots.html
Quite literally it states that Britain's internet wifi (is) to be run by sheep....well,why not, the nation
is! Indeed it basicly states that a Computer scientist Professor Gordon Blair,from Lancaster University. was recently awarded funding for a project to investigate how the Internet of Things could work in the countryside. Proposed ideas include sheep with digital collars.He was recently awarded £171,495 ($267,090) from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council to set up a ‘smart’ project in Conwy, Wales.At Glastonbury, EE installed Wi-Fi cows to act as similar hotspots.Although these ‘cows’ were, in fact, just masts in the shape of the farmyard animals, the principle could work for livestock in the countryside.Earlier this year, sheep in Yorkshire were fitted with cameras to give a unique view of the Tour De France as it travelled through the county.
However Squirrel then realized that Squirrel's research project, that involving sheep, the use of sheep, the application of sheep, to and in useful endeavours, may have been discovered and compromised. The arictle states, quite plainly and puts forwards and idea to, expand the nation's internet services, in the north in particular, through and by the utilization of sheep, sheep fitted with wifi internet boosters..... But Secret Squirrel, MRL, has been researching other uses for sheep in this great age of austerity. Note the government isn't researching this,nor is the government funding Squirrel, Squirrel being an direct opposition politician,MRL,(Monster Raving Loony Party) but Squirrel is pushing forwards with his own private researches, using his own private funds.....Squirrel has surmised that the government has gotten wind of Secret Squirrel's project and is trying to cover it's lack of abilities by introducing the wifi useage for sheep.......but Squirrel is not cowed, bowed, nor sheepish in his response and endeavours...nay not Squirrel.
Squirrel is continuing his Secret projects for the good of The Empire.Squirrel took his researches in to other areas of sheepdom as it were. Squirrel noted sheep have previously been used indiscriminately by the government in such uses as victims in poison gas tests, in testing mines, and mine fields,atom bomb testing, so sheep are.........to put it mildly, expendable,fully. Now Squirrel has never been happy with people going to war, but it did occur to Squirrel, nobody would mind if sheeple went to war. That's right, sheeple, in short sheep, sheep with guns, armed sheep.Indeed, this concept is extremely inexpensive...recall sheep just graze about on grass quite happily, and fields, such are battle fields, so in short, the sheeple army is in fact then self feeding...self sufficient, it forages happily as required...they don't have to be washed nor bathed.......indeed the sheeple army, controlled and directed by non combatant people officers, could even yet provide them with a grand lamb chop meal when required and so would,in fact ,feed and support their support. As to being directed to a war, war zone, etc, that could be accomplished easily by the army incorporating within it's canine corps, sheep dogs, no problem there. As to a supply of sheep, well, recently they proved that sheep could be cloned.......a never ending supply. In short, in place of soldiers send the trained sheeple....................here you see part of Secret Squirrel's project, using and training sheep, an army of sheep, an army of sheeple...........click on the links......

Secret Squirrel Presents New Uniforms For The British Army.
Secret Squirrel, has a much better idea for the modernization of the British army, in the age of austerity.........new uniforms. Indeed there has always been much discussion over new uniforms, and much displeasure, over such things as materials necessary, the high cost of materials, the quantity of materials necessary. Indeed an answer to this is quite simply should materials cost more, then it is best to reduce the amount of materials necessary for use as uniforms. Indeed this is THE most obvious solution, which for some reason Squirrel cannot fathom eludes our modern day military leaders and our politicians. Squirrel has also taken in to account many many events in the past when changes were made to the uniforms there has always been much and most vicious debate in Parliament, amongst the politicians, and thence amongst the rank and file, as to the style of said uniform changes. Indeed, so as to avoid any conflicts or displeasures as to style, Squirrel consulted with the Great Designer (of fashionable clothes, a connaisseur in fashion design, The Great, SASQUATCHI. For uniforms note Squirrel was very frugal in keeping with planned government austerity programs however, in order to meet the requirement, and, I assure you, Squirrel's uniforms are by far the most inexpensive to date, and whilst offering the very greatest in style,functionality and, indeed a most wide range and selection of available styles and colors to choose from,Squirrel is sure, that whilst being the utterly lowest bidder, the government of the day will not select Squirrel's uniforms. Squirrel knows, the selection of those bidding highest,and higher are often yet selected over the wiser,more functional choices due to.............shall we say.......favoritism. Indeed, however yet, Squirrel, has here included links such that you can see Squirrel's favored uniform design, a clearly stylish and functional design,light in weight, well designed for the hot tropics Britain's soldiery are so oft subjected to,note the uniform does in no way shape nor form, hinder movement. Squirrel rejects,outrightly, any suggestion, that due to Squirrel being an MRL politician, of that of a conflict of interest......nay with these uniforms Squirrel and everyone else, shall most certainly be and shall most certainly remain, interested. Indeed Squirrel has noted that in the past many politicians in Parliament have been conflictingly interested and disinterestingly unconflicted with respect to any interest what so ever in absolutely anything and everything, so ,Without further ado, here are the links to Squirrel's new military uniforms..........here is Britain's army of the future.....note full front, full back and full side views are presented............don't remain in the dark,do indeed click on the revealing links.......

Secret Squirrel Sees Prisoners Sent To Colonize Venus
Secret Squirrel has seen, in the Daily Mail, a vision of things to come as seen by the Americans. Well it can be said that the Americans have their heads in the clouds, but so too then does Squirrel. Squirrel, however, has a far different vision of the shape of things to come, a more practical,firmly grounded in reality view of said future yet to come, as seen in the Daily Mail, found here......
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2882720/Is-Venus-humanity-s-home-NASA-envisions-city-solar-powered-helium-airships-Earth-s-searing-hot-twin.html
The article asks the question of us, Is Venus humanity's next home? Americans see Americans living there. NASA envisions a city of solar-powered helium airships above Earth's searing hot twin. Why weather the bone-chilling rocky surface of Mars when you could call the clouds of Venus' earth-like upper atmosphere home? This is their outlook on things. One does recall one Adolf's promise of a great,all inclusive, all expenses paid, travel included working..........vacation, to a certain privileged group of people willing to accept. However, to continue, yes, indeed, they envisage cities in the clouds, people living in helium filled blimps floating above the clouds,on Venus. Of course Americans see things differently than do so many of everybody else in the world you know. Well, picture this, think of Venus as a safe house, millions of miles away, all that airless void that is space, in between. Between what...Earth and Venus...........Earth and whatever is sent to live there. Recall in the past Britain sent prisoners to America(the greatest number and hardest core), and Australia, the lessers of the criminals, the petty thieves,pick pockets etc (less in numbers to there,but in both cases, in efforts to colonize). One can't guess how and what they sent to Canada with it's notorious Siberian mirrored winters. But picture this.......send Britain's prisoners to live above the clouds of Venus! Indeed they would live there in perfect safety,serving out their terms,the hardest core sent there to enjoy the magnificently beautiful views above the clouds of Venus, living in a city in the clouds, a condo in the clouds, of Venus, and all that distance between here and Venus, in between! I should think that's a jolly much better idea isn't it all. And in keeping with the American NASA's views, the prisoners could colonize and whatever else they do! Should the Americans object to living with and amongst Britain's finest sent, the creme de la creme, objecting perhaps to finer ettiquetty and manners, well, we could quite simply have separate American and British blimps and so avoid any conflicts of customary behavioral differences.
Indeed, the only other thing we could do to make things perfect all round, is perhaps, to send our politicians there.....just to make sure it all works out well for everyone!

Secret Squirrel Ends Global Warming Problem By Creating More Fat People.
Secret Squirrel has seen the headlines screaming,such as "Global Warming! You're Responsible! What You Can do". Well,Secret Squirrel has pondered many scientific findings, and in doing so has usually
come up with rather interesting scientific and scientifically provable, and scientifically backed, facts, and, as always, has come up with a solution to the problem, in this case, the problem of global warming. Government is right, and government is wrong, but Squirrel is always right, scientifically provably right, and so cannot be wrong. Squirrel has discovered that the whole cause of global warming, and also yet the very cure to the problem of global warming, is ........ actually ....... FAT PEOPLE.
NOW, let Squirrel make this perfectly clear, Squirrel does NOT,in any way shape nor form, BLAME fat people .... nay not at all, Squirrel, does, in fact state that fat people can get us out of this global warming bind, the more, the merrier. Squirrel shall here go on to explain.
Of course, the entire global warming issue, and problems associated directly and indirectly with the issue of global warming, is also most directly encompassed by and most directly affected by three (3) most important things in life, for a person, fat or slim, affected by 1) Dieting, 2) Exercising, 3) Eating.
The body stores the excess protein or carbs in a person's diet in form of FAT, specifically, as triglyceride molecules, which consist of just three kinds of atoms: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. For people to lose weight, their triglycerides must break up into building blocks, which happens in a process known as oxidation.
When a triglyceride is oxidized (or "burned up"), the process consumes many molecules of oxygen while producing carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as waste products. Of course here entering in to the
equation also, involves the digestive generation of flatulence, fartings as it were and is,which, of course involves the direct food converted release of gas, warm gas in to the atmos thus directly increasing global warming and its effects. Of course, it is noted that those most guilty in the field
of fartings are, of course, Mexicans, due to their high bean diet. Here I cannot comment as to what would be better for the world, but fartings is certainly not one of them.
So, going on there, through the clouds of digestive scientific fartings, plainly put, to burn 10 kilograms (22 lbs.) of fat, a person needs to inhale 29 kg (64 lbs.) of oxygen. And the chemical process of burning that fat will produce 28 kg (62 lbs.) of carbon dioxide and 11 kg (24 lbs.) of water, the researchers calculated.The researchers showed that during weight loss, 84 percent of the fat that is lost turns into carbon dioxide and leaves the body through the lungs, whereas the remaining 16 percent becomes water. The calculations also show the frightening power of, for example, a small muffin over an hour of exercise: At rest, a person who weighs 154 pounds (70 kg) exhales just 8.9 mg of carbon with each breath. Even after an entire day, if this person only sits, sleeps, and does light activities,your typical couch potato, he or she exhales about 200 grams of carbon, the researchers calculated.
So,sadly, we all contribute to global warming, by merely eating and
digesting,however we must mention and make note of fat people, store far more efficiently and exhale, or whatever, far less of what they eat, so they are,in fact much more efficient.
However,consider, eating a 100 g muffin can cover 20 percent of what was lost, of course eating a full 10 recovers, easily ALL of what was lost. On the other hand, replacing one hour of rest with exercise such as jogging, removes an additional 40 g of carbon from the body, the researchers said. Even if one traces the fates of all the atoms in the body, the secret to weight loss remains the same: In order to lose weight, one needs to either eat less carbon or exercise more to remove extra
carbon from the body. What this all means, mostly, surely and directly, dieting,exercising INCREASE global warming most significantly AND FAT PEOPLE should never ever be allowed to diet nor exercise in any way shape nor form, and that forcing them to actually eat MORE will significantly DECREASE the amount of available carbon and thence carbon dioxide from the environment,PROVIDED that, they DO NOT DIET NOR EXERCISE, else they will significantly increase most greatly, available atmos carbon dioxide and hence result in an increase in global warming. So to maintain the present status quo in the world with respect to global warming, fat people must not exercise, must continue to eat, and must not exercise.Their further eating and lack of exercise will increase their bulk and so store much carbon dioxide which is now scrubbed from the environment and so safely stored.
They must avoid directly highly destructive dieting which can and will and shall cause the massive release of further grand quantities of carbon dioxide in to the atmos and so raise global warming to frightening levels.
To further decrease global warming, and its effects, we must therefor INCREASE the available amount of fat people. Doing so we shall most surely, and provably, all things not withstanding, rein in global warming, and ultimately, most easily control and finally end, global warming.
Yet what do we find, of course? Governments, most notably the American and The British government, actually are doing and encouraging the exact direct opposite. Yes, I shudder to think, but yet it is so, they encourage people to exercise, most severely. They encourage people to diet,they encourage people to reduce their body's fat content, and they encourage people to eat far less such that we do not and cannot generate more of the very much needed and scientifically cherished, worldly important, worldly influencing, fat storage people,in plain layman's terms really, simply put, fat people. A sad sorry state of affairs it is. But such is government, hardly the factual world, hardly the actual world, hardly the scientific world, hardly the world of sense and sensibility, hardly the world of Secret Squirrel.

Secret Squirrel Solves Everybody's Prison Problems.
Secret Squirrel's attention has been drawn to an interesting headline in America........
"America Is Finally Closing Prisons. Now What Do We Do With Them?The trickiest reuse challenge yet."
as was expounded at
http://www.citylab.com/design/2012/12/america-finally-closing-
prisons-now-what-do-them/4083/
There they state, and I quote,directly,
"Two years ago, the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics announced a
small data point marking an inglorious milestone: In 2009, America’s
prison population declined, and for the first time in decades. This
meant, to frame the news another way, that until that year, dating
all the way back to 1972, America had been in the business of
constantly imprisoning more and more people. During that time,
incarceration – and constructing sprawling complexes and boxy
cellblocks to accommodate it – had become something of a great
American growth industry.
Since then, the trend appears to be holding. In 2011, 13 states were
closing prisons or in the process of it. Michigan has now closed 22
facilities since 2002. New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo
announced plans last year to close seven. And legislators in Texas –
a state that had tripled its prison capacity since the late '80s –
recently opted to close the 102-year-old Sugar Land prison. Last
week, the BJS confirmed that prison populations are on the decline
for the third year in a row, and an arc is beginning to take shape.
Prisons will be particularly difficult to re-purpose."
And here ends the informative epistle.
But Squirrel has also noticed yet another headline, stating basically,
"The chief inspector of prisons has attacked the state of prisons in
England and Wales after dozens of full jails were told to take more
inmates."
Nick Hardwick said "political and policy failure" was behind dangerous overcrowding in the publicly-run jails." and this was noticed at
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-27847007
There is serious overcrowding mentioned, in all prisons, both public and private,the average is 65% over capacity over the total 20 public prisons,and similar averages over the private prisons in Britain. In short there is no room,they've just not capacity for more prisoners. It figures if they increase capacity by over crowding, and that's done, then there is yet again no room for new ones, the queue is full as it were.
Now what can Britain do with it's new prisoners who require
incarcerational correction in Her Majesty's Prisons For The Extremely Naughty?
Well in the old days, there was penal transportation as it is known.Transportation or penal transportation is the sending of convicted criminals or other persons regarded as undesirable to a penal colony. For example, France transported convicts to Devil's Island, and French Guiana.The French Navy, which had been tasked with managing the prison hulks, complained strongly about the cost of guarding the hulks and the disruption they caused to the shipyards. Following his coup in 1851, Emperor Napoleon III ordered that the hulks be permanently closed and that common law convicts be transferred overseas to colonies. Debate over where the convicts would be sent was prolonged. Algeria was ruled out by the Navy as it was controlled by the French Army; Haiti, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Texas were considered, but the government eventually chose French Guiana.
France had repeatedly failed since 1604 to colonize French Guiana.
The last attempt at colonization was in 1763, and 75% of the 12,000
colonists died in their first year. By the 1850s, the declining number of survivors were on the brink of extinction. In 1852, Napoleon called for volunteer prisoners from the hulks to transfer to the new Bagne de Cayenne (Cayennes penal colony) at French Guiana; 3,000 convicts applied. Two categories of prisoners were eligible for transportation: transportés, those common-law prisoners sentenced under doublage, and déportés, prisoners convicted of political crimes, such as espionage or conspiracy. The hulks continued to be used, housing an average of 5,400 prisoners at a time, until they were finally closed around the turn of the century.
The agricultural penal colonies continued to be used for juveniles until the last was closed in 1939. New Caledonia became a penal colony, and from the 1860s until the end of the transportations in 1897, about 22,000 criminals and political prisoners were sent to New Caledonia, among them many Communards arrested after the failed Paris Commune, including Henri de Rochefort and Louise Michel. Between 1873 and 1876, 4,200 political prisoners were "relegated" in New Caledonia. Only 40 of them settled in the colony; the rest returned to France after being granted amnesty in 1879 and 1880
England also transported convicts, political prisoners and prisoners
of war from Scotland and Ireland to its colonies in the Americas (from the 1610s until the American Revolution in the 1770s) and Australia (1788–1868), the practice becoming available in Scotland consequent to the Union of 1707 but used less than in England.
The number of convicts transported to North America is not verified
although it has been estimated to be 120,000 by Thomas Keneally.
These went originally to New England, the majority of prisoners taken in battle from Ireland and Scotland. Some were sold as slaves to the Southern states. In 1787, the "First Fleet" departed from England, to establish the first British settlement in Australia, as a penal colony. They arrived at Port Jackson (Sydney) on 26 January 1788, a date now celebrated as Australia Day. Norfolk Island served as a convict penal settlement from 1788 until 1794, and again from 1824 to 1847. They also brought boats providing food and animals from London. The ships and boats would help discover the coast of Australia better by sailing all around Australia looking for suitable farming land and resources. In 1803, Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) was also settled as a penal colony, followed by the Moreton Bay Settlement (Queensland) in 1824. The other Australian colonies were "free settlements", as non-convict colonies were known. However, the Swan River Colony (Western Australia) accepted transportation from England and Ireland in 1851, to resolve a long-standing labour shortage. Until the massive influx of immigrants during the Australian gold rushes of the 1850s, the settler
population had been dominated by English and Irish convicts and
their descendants. However, compared to America, Australia received
a significantly higher number of English prisoners.
Transportation from Britain and Ireland officially ended in 1868 although it had become uncommon several years earlier.Over the 80 years more than 165,000 convicts were transported to Australia,a little more than America received, but not all that much more. So, well, nowadays that can't be done it seems.
There are plans afoot, expensive plans,however,such that nearly half of people in prison in England and Wales could be warehoused in 1,000-plus supersized jails under government plans to transform the
prison estate, the latest edition of the Prison Reform Trust's
Bromley Briefings Prison Factfile reveals.

The quoted epistle begins....
Belgium has found a cheaper alternative to deal with it's burgeoning
prison population of criminals......Belgium (is) to rent Dutch jail cells
Both nations have a 1 in 1000 incarceration rate,but being tight on
space in its jails, Belgium will start renting 500 cells at Tilburg
prison in neighbouring Netherlands.
The agreement will make up for the shortage of cells across Belgium
and send roughly 500 prisoners away for three years.
Belgium will pay 30m euros (£26.8m) a year for sending its detainees
across the border.No prisoners who are "an escape risk or a risk to society" will be sent to Tilburg, Dutch officials said."The Netherlands is putting the prison and its personnel at Belgium's disposal for placing at least 500 detainees over a period of three years," the Dutch justice ministry said.The prisoners will be guarded by Dutch wardens, but the prison director will be Belgian. There are still a number of issues that need to be resolved, including how often detainees may be seen by family and friends.In Belgium, prisoners may receive visitors three times a week, while those in the Netherlands may only receive guests once a week.
Belgium's prisons currently hold 10,400 people - nearly 2,000 more
than capacity.The Netherlands on the other hand has nearly 2,000 empty prison cells, thanks to a significant drop in crime since the beginning of this century.
The quoted epistle here endeth.
But Britain is in trouble,the country is on the verge of its worst
prison overcrowding crisis since 2008, leaving the Justice
Secretary, Chris Grayling, fighting for his political future.
Well Squirrel always has a solution. Harken to the commencement of
this commencement, the fact that America has empty idle prisons.
Harken also to Belgium renting space in Dutch prisons,and as such,
is also using penal transportation as in the days of old).
Now, Squirrel proposes that Britain approaches the American
government, with a two fold proposition.....firstly buying said
empty prisons out right with the intent on staffing them as they
may,recall this brings employment to Americans,and attractive
feature,and then transporting as in penal transport there to America
for the prisoners to serve their stated terms. The longer term
prisoners would be far less troublesome in terms of shifting
transportations outwards.
Secondly, Britain could rent out said empty prisons, staffing as
fit, supplying Americans with much needed jobs, and again transporting, penal transporting, British prisoners out there to serve their terms.In BOTH cases the prisoners could be used as cheap chain gang labour,courvee labour as it were.
.
Now America could hardly complain you know. Let's look at the prison
population presently in America as to quality.According to the US
Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) non-Hispanic blacks accounted for
39.4% of the total prison and jail population in 2009,Hispanics (of
all races) were 20.6% of the total jail and prison population in
2009,total 60%,leaving 40 all others.Figures, world figures, prove
that the United States, is the world's leading jailer., with a rate
of approx. 750 prisoners per 100,000 population.(Russia is a close
second, South Africa, is in third with a half of rate.
In sum toto of all census populations of the groups, at 100%, an
estimated 4.8% of black non-Hispanic men were in prison or jail,
compared to 1.9% of Hispanic men of any race and 0.7% of white non-
Hispanic men.
Well now, America would be getting, for incarceration rather than
colonization, a rather elite,group of prisoners,of non ethnic
minority stature, and in some toto 100% would be of such, really
worthy of the status of The Prison Old Boys eh! Whot!
Quality,quality of the highest! America could hardly complain, nor
refuse, consider, monetary renumeration,cheap chain gang labor, increased employment, and such fine British quality as America has not seen since the early days of Britain's penal transportations! A jolly good show all round! Everybody benefits, everybody's problem is solved! Once again Squirrel excels at problem solving in a fair and equitable, and profitable fashion all round.
