    Denmark to banish foreign criminals to remote island

    Foreign criminals sentenced to deportation are to be banished to a remote island off the coast of Denmark, the country's government has announced.

    Finance minister Kristian Jensen said the criminals will be detained at a facility on Lindholm, an uninhabited seven-hectare island in the province of Vordingborg.

    The tough scheme was set up as part of an agreement between Denmark’s conservative coalition government and its anti-immigration ally, the Danish People’s Party (DF).

    The DF's official Twitter account celebrated the announcement by publishing an animated cartoon which shows a dark-skinned man being dumped by a ship on a desert island.

        Actually other EU countries seem to do that for a first offence.
        Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          It's only remote in the sense that southwest Denmark is pretty remote, and much of it is already built on: Google Maps

              Intelligence levels have fallen in all Scandinavian countries, including Norway and Denmark, according to an analysis.

              The study was conducted by James Flynn, a leading researcher of intelligence quotient (IQ) measurement, writes Norwegian news agency NTB.
              IQ in the Scandinavian countries had been on the up for decades, but the trend has now been reversed, according to a report published by journal Intelligence.

              Measures taken as part of the study have shown that, in Norway, fewer people are reaching higher levels of mathematical and linguistic ability.
              The trend is similarly prominent in both Denmark and Norway and even more so in Finland.

              “This signals without doubt a depletion of people with high cognitive abilities,” Flynn said according to NTB’s report.
              The IQ of Norwegians had been increasing since 1950 until a turning point around 1995, writes the agency.


              An annual reduction of IQ by 0.21 percent on average has been measured in Norwegians since that year, equivalent to a 6.5 percent decrease between generations.

              Intelligence of Norwegians and Danes on the wane, say researchers - The Local
