Prison ships? I can think of many that deserve to be on one, but it’ll never happen for many reasons.
They were a big feature of the Napoleonic Wars. Awful things where people died like flies. But then in prisons of the time, people died like flies. How to contain them all? The French did much the same and worse.
One particular delight was that when the French fleet under Villeneuve sailed to meet Nelson in 1805 at Trafalgar, the local authorities emptied the gaols, literally. Grabbed a few more dubious characters to boot. Down to the quayside they were marched and there was a portable guillotine. They were all executed in sight of the departing sailors and officers ‘Pour encourager les autres’.
Prison capacity solved at a stroke - literally.

It's obvious it would never happen and was actually denied by government this morning - in fact I doubt anyone will end up in Rwanda and my advice to any refugees reading TWTD at the moment is to advise the authorities that you are gay should it look like a possibility that you are going to be shipped out to Africa. This will prevent the shipping process as Africans aren't keen on gays and it will breach your human rights.
The Guardian seems to be in some kind of race to the bottom war with The Daily Express.

I think you may need to consider a timeline.
On the 11th someone from Government states something, after being questioned an an I’ll-defined policy, it is then reported. On the 12th someone from Government says something different.
Why would you assume the race to the bottom is being executed by the press, and not the Government realising they may have sunk just a little bit too low?

So mainly women and children would just have to tell the authorities that they're gay?
Big brain things.

That's some quite impressive bothesidesing in that last sentence there.
I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.
I won't forget when we were out and about and you were refusing alcohol as it was bad for you and instead ate your bodyweight in cake. I think we were in Jordaan.
I'm off in a cuppla weeks as is happens - I'll eat a cyber cake for you.
