Could we not give all the travellers at Dale Farm a boat as a housing solution. It would tie in nicely with Mr Shapps new ideas and solve the Dale Farm problem at a stroke.

They do this in America but they all tend to be housed on 1 ship!!!

Tree houses would be prettier, and more practical considering Dale Farm's lack of navigateable waterway.

How about Caravans.
Then they could roam the land in a nomadic gyspy lifestyle like their forefathers...

Serious Prison Ships work in the US of A or so I've read

Maybe F Magneto, but if Shapps did it they would be Comical Prison Ships; Ghost Prison Ships; Unworkable Prison Ships; or simply a realistic projection of a greater number of prison ships than was achieved under the last Labour Government, that if not achieved will be because of a snowy day last winter and the royal couple having a wedding, followed by a day's sunshine in the summer and an occassion to rain through the autumn, accompanied by a £10Million grant to a miscellaneous charity because it sounds good and because Shapps knows the beneficieries.

They had a prison ship in Weymouth many moons ago. It did not really work...You put enough expanding foam in it and a caravan will float.

I'm waiting for your next thread Melvin - following on from other CLG numpty ideas - Why not give the Dale Farm residents caravans. It would tie in nicely with Mr Shapps new ideas and solve the Dale Farm problem at a stroke to, or not as the case may be.
Do you think anyone other than the Minister's proctologist takes him seriously any more - and should that specialist take a holiday so we do not have to receive the new ideas he discovers.

I think we could have duel purpose bowling greens (given that pickles is promoting this) that operate as camp sites when the sun goes down - this would help with community cohesion and would solve the homeless problem as long as 'tenants' wore decent foot wear on site.

It has been dissappointing that the hopeless Minister choose not to refloat this idea at conference.
Can we assume that this lack of initiaitve has sunk without a trace, or should the Minister be expected to hold his hands up as being too stupid to be in charge of a voice let alone a key government department.
