Not I.  Sadly, I have been effectively banned from that place!

Perhaps the ideal place to house all our new 'guests'?

As many used to joke about, Lawless Britain.

I think this, like almost everything else, comes down ultimately to the government.

They have decided not to build more prisons; they have decided not to push for more punishing consequences for law-breaking; they (or their predecessors) have decided to hand over control of London to it new mayor; they have continued to pass control to other bodies: the Civil Service, the Lords, etc.

Assuming that Mr Flip-Flop will take over next month, and hand 16 year-olds the vote (to continue their term in office for longer), such things will continue as those young people are largely in favour of freedom to break the law, protesting and holding up normal progress anywhere, etc.

A stranger knocked on Elsie's door
Five minutes later they were on the floor
Was it lust or did they fall?
Or a Yoga instructor come to call !
Or even a Bobby upholding the law.

This is the kind of thing that horror movies have at their epicentre.

I suppose the irony is that anyone who actually ends up living there would probably have been a borderline candidate for the place when it was a psych hospital.

By coincidence, I just came across this in a book I'm reading.  It's referring to a pastoral deputy head of a school, but can easily be adapted for this thread..

"Many was the wayward urchin with the wedge haircut who was sent to his office for a damned good letting off."

The Old  Broadmoor was decommissioned in 2019 for the new £250 million pound building ( first stage ) next door .

The site 60 acres has now been put up for sale by the NHS for residential development.
Much of the Victorian buildings are Grade  two listed .

It's bang in the middle of prime residential Berkshire  .
I wonder if whoever buys it will convert the old buildings into luxury apartments as has been done at other Victorian  mental hospitals .

However this is Broadmoor that has housed horrendous murderers Sutcliffe , the Krays and murderer of Lee Rigby and goodness knows what other deviants .

The Feng shui must be dreadful surely evil must be soaked into the walls there .

Would you live in the old Broadmoor ? 

Anyone who is an asylum seeker who is found guilty of a crime should automatically be returned to their country of origin.  They will have come here for protection, and it's a pretty poor show if they then decide to bite the hand that feeds them.
