Like... losing the US colonies is literally the reason they chose to settle Australia with convicts.
The first colonies were backed by investment companies. Then, followed by additional colonies of puritans and other religious minorities. What penal colonies do you refer to? There were many indentured servants who paid off their transit through a term of service, but I don't think that indicates they were necessarily prisoners in England or elsewhere.
I know it was indentured servitude in some US colonies. That system was in place to take British convicts and still makes those instances penal colonies...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_c ... 0Virginia.
The British used colonial North America as a penal colony through a system of indentured servitude. Merchants would transport the convicts and auction them off (for example) to plantation owners upon arrival in the colonies. It is estimated that some 50,000 British convicts were sent to colonial America and the majority landed in the Chesapeake Colonies of Maryland and Virginia. Transported convicts represented perhaps one-quarter of all British emigrants during the 18th century.

Right, but there was concern over that possibility. Is there a strategoc drop bear reserve in the North?

What you will never grasp is that we understand and are proud of this. It's who we are.

Sorry for triggering your inferiority issues. I'll try and be more considerate of your delicate constitution in future.
Thanks. And congrats on putting out those forest fires! It must have been tough putting your thinking caps on to find a solution for that brain-scrambler. But in the end, you managed to claw your way up the cognitive ladder to the level of homo erectus and had a breakthrough: water put out fire. Amazing. Proud. Of. You. It took almost a year, but you did it. See - you showed everyone - and who knows what's next now?!? Maybe learning to walk on your hind legs, all the time?! Sky's the limit.
I guess I'm too dumb to even know what you're talking about here? I mean my cousins family lost their complete home and 2 dogs they couldn't find in the fires in January last year, so I'm pretty well versed in what went down then. No idea on fires burning for the past 12 months though. Nice "burn" though, I'm sure.

Not certain why you have such a problem with me though numbers. I was making comment about the US corona stimulus in the corona stimulus thread. Sorry?
sorry about your relatives house

if you don’t want the fury of the 96 account, then stop shitting on my country. that’s for americans to be obsessed with- focus on your own shithole
government.

our government didnt fail us. we passed the largest fiscal stimulus package in modern US history within record time when this broke out - including billions for vaccine development, which paid off

now you can all mooch off our stash- again

enjoy

Not wanting to play devil's advocate here, but didn't the big players who have come out with the vaccine not receive any of that stimulus package?
