...but made up by one of the german tabloids. Fact is, that there is a programme for "difficult" youngsters with courses abroad, e.g. in sibiria. Thats not a bootcamp at all, neither is he "sent there", the participation is voluntary and has to be choosen by the participiant as well as his parents.

for those little bastards that roam the streets of Manchester. I would gladly assist the government by paying for the airfare of the vermin that mugged me in December 2007.

Are you listening, uk.gov?

I'd like to add the since as***le Koch became president of the wonderful state of Hesse the rate of crime commited by under 21s has rissen by 68% compared to the rest of Germany where the number is about 28%.

The problem is, that on the upcoming election (27th January) as***le Koch will lose a few votes but not enough to lose his office, which underlines the proverb that "every people gets the politicians it earns".

PH because she will vote for politicians as well as intelligent as herself.

..extracting large quantities of natural food seasoning from geological strata? or if he's lucky, he might win the Crazy Pravda Bingo jackpot and become a potato millionaire, earning 10,000 potatoes a day in interest alone. Or perhaps he might be even luckier and get to live in one of the towns where bread is made of less than 99% sawdust.

Well, you'd be welcome to try shipping them up here, see how far you get!

Anyhow, we've got too many shitebags up here as it is; why do you think we export them?

The Brits did this hundreds of years ago. The location was called America and Australia !

While the UK dabbled in sending our ner do wells on package holidays to africa the idea is still sound, we just sent them north and not south.

Why not send them to some god forsaken island up in the Orkneys or just south of the arctic circle where it starts to get dark just after lunch, the sheep outnumber the locals who all seam to be related to each other in some shape or form (which incidentally gives them their distinctive shape and form), its at least a three hour sea voyage from civilisation in a small fishing boat on choppy seas to get there, the local tavern brews its own ale from whatever they can lay their hands on that happens to be round and brown and has a hoppy colour and is frequented exclusively by fishermen, they only have one road and its straight and cobbled so there are no corners to hang about on, everyone practices some strange pagan religion that involves building tall human shaped structures out of wicker, electricity is something that hasnt been invented in the particular century they live in and going out in unsuitable clothes and stopping out longer than you should means that the locals will dig you out of a snow drift in june when the weather is a little more mild.

Yes it may toughen them up a bit however they wont want to go back there and a day of meaningful employment in the UK will be a pleasure to do compaired to a day of existance on gulag island.

"The Siberian exile apparently costs €150 a day - roughly a third of the cost of a locally-based punishment"

Impressive. I suppose when demand forces the prices up, they'll be sending the tearaways to the next cheapest place...

Where is the IT angle on this?

I thought the little darlings were being set to Manchester, it being Britain's biggest open prison...

posted from the safety of the right side of the Pennines! :o)

I Agree we should have the same system in the Uk... it would solve to issue of Chavs on the streets

...build his physique hauling water and teach him how to wield an axe.

1939..... the camps at the time were in Poland.

ironic tho....Poland are now sending the young to the UK and the rest of Europe on mass....

where do i collect my 1000 year ban?

/hat

/coat

... presumably the €150 is for the highly qualified German/Russian Translator/Parole Officer who is supervising. Given that you can survive on less than a pound a day with vast quantities of borscht and (the best) vodka, this kid should be thrilled.

No webby access? if that's the IT angle, fair enough, but I'd want triple that amount to live without my access to t'internet for even a couple of weeks.

While "Hesse" is the correct pronounciation for "Hessen" if you grew up in Hessen, it's still spelled Hessen. =p

"Where is the IT angle on this?"

The IT angle is there-is-none.... ever.

:)

i'll have some of that, cheap vodka, no UK/USA political morons, cute sexy raindeer (get down rudolf) dig my own bog? nah I'd poop behind a tree and chop down the next, I love working up a good sweat bashing my wood.......

"Thinking about it, UK has plenty of wonderful islands off the coast of Scotland"

Yes. Yes, it does. Plz to not misguidedly fill them up with pikeys.

I know just the place, the one that's been uninhabited since between the wars because the gov'ment tested anthrax on it. In fact why not set it up as a prison island and ship ALL the UK prison population over there. A few coastal patrol ships to police it and let them get on with "organising" their own accomadation and entertainment. Just need a helicopter for a food drop once a month and bob's your uncle. ;-)

Yes, send them all to the Gulag or maybe even a German concentration camp! those hypocritical nazi politicians!

I love Siberia! Have any of you been out there? The place is amazing... Women outnumber men 8:1 in many places (not all) and 90% of them are better looking than the "best" of what the UK has to offer these days (my god, are we in decline of attractive people - STOP EATING JUNK AND GET SOME EXERCISE PEOPLE OF BRITAIN!!). Vodka cost less than a cup of coffee, the food is lovely, the list goes on...

So, where do I sign up?

PS - Hasn't anyone seen Brat Camp? It's the same thing.

FYI: This isn't first time Germans send their difficult child to villages under Omsk.

It is important, that those villagers are descendants of WW II war prisoners. That's why many villagers speak "German" language.

However I surprised to read this: "The Siberian exile apparently costs €150 a day".

€150 - it is quite more than people get as their monthly salary in those villages. And still they survive and grow children somehow.

Two-way Ticket to Omsk from Germany costs you no more than €600, Russian visa €200. Renting a "house" €20 per month.

Omsk - is my hometown, where I was grown from the age of 0 till age of 15.

Then I moved to Moscow and got BS in CS from best Russian technical university.

Now, I'm, 21 years old, software developer for best graphics company in the world and I'm working in Santa Clara, CA.

"If he doesn't fetch water, he can't wash."

He's a 16 year old boy.

Not washing is what they do.

Penguin 'cos it's cold and there's no polar bear.

Like Aussies. And Americans.

Actually, the first time the Germans sent their chavs to a foreign country was in about the 5th Century CE. Those too stupid to continue as Germans were sent to Britain, where they settled in places like Essex and Norfolk.

1. Commenter No.1 is right.

3.a. I'm living in Hesse, I know 2.a.

4. Yes, I'm fan of the ol' man Dredd

I want to go. I could do with the simple life, no matter how hard it may seem. Open space, quiet, basic food, exercise, booze and warm women.

Sign me up.

Paris, because she would understand the simple life!

but he might find himself a "special siberian hamster"
