There must be a suitable island like Taransay available.

I must admit I used Taransay as an internment camp in the first part of the Azure Main trilogy with the Superintendent of the Camp being one Anne Widdicombe. So I think it could be used for a couple of hundred people.

I don't think Anne has much to do at the moment. She's getting on a bit, so perhaps a sinecure post would be appropriate.

Well, the first book was set in 1980, until it became 1730. But she's been making speeches with Mr Farage, so I don't think she'd be suitable now.

As a trans person, it’s been all over my TL! And as someone old enough to remember her as, let us say, precisely the opposite…I can’t forgive Labour for being so bloody right wing they make the obscenely right wing MP from the 90s look moderate.
