    Is this cruel and unusual punishment?

    For dear old Freako, this relates to the Syrian refugees despatched to the Isle of Bute.

    Oddly, it would appear that there's previously been little demand for Syrian goods there.

    Plan B. Start up a people smuggling operation to get them back to Syria?

            Couldn't they have sent them to Bradford, or somewhere like that?
