I would suggest Gruinard but it is far too close to the mainland. Just to make sure all the anthrax has gone.

If I were PM I would invite all the whining billionaires to a summit to discuss their ideas.
Where I would maroon them all on Gruinard with a supply of canned food.
And a single can opener hidden somewhere on the island.
And we’d stream it live.
It would make £ millions

Well said Duchess. 👌👏🏻
I wish we could find a rock in the middle of a wild sea and dump the whole lot of them on it.
The rest of us can then happily live together.
🤔 I wonder if Gruinard is still toxic? ☠️

A descontaminação de Gruinard começou apenas em 1986. Quatro anos depois, em 1990, a ilha foi finalmente declarada segura. O episódio evidenciaria como o governo britânico subestimou os riscos ambientais e o potencial custo humano da pesquisa.

Em 1942, um grupo de cientistas liderado por Paul Fildes iniciou uma série de pesquisas com a bactéria causadora do carbúnculo (antraz). A Ilha de Gruinard, na costa oeste da Escócia, foi escolhida para os testes com o Bacillus anthracis.
