Regarding Paul Davenport's star letter (Take Action Against These Thugs, Blair, News Shopper, May 25).
My solution to the hooligan problem would be for our Government to approach the Russian Government with an offer they could not refuse.
Considering the vastness of their country, and I have a preference for icy Siberia, I suggest we pay them to "take care" of our unwanted thugs in their excellent penal colonies, for no less than five years.
Under strict supervision, they should spend their days breaking ice with axes for no less than 12 hours a day.
Naturally this work would be done on a shift basis of 12-hour nights and 12-hour days. Three meals would be provided daily of gruel, gruel and more gruel.
No communication would be allowed with the outside world, especially with family, until they prove they can be trusted to take their social responsibilities seriously.
This applies to all classes, all creeds and all colours without exception. So help them God.
