Any Portland In a Storm!

Dorset's Island of Portland is currently connected to the mainland by a very narrow road. In ancient times, humans were able to walk there (the seas were lower), to set up Mesolithic subsistence colonies. More recently, the island's major economy was based on quarrying and exporting Portland stone (much used in many impressive London buildings). Some of the lower grade limestone was converted into cement. Until 1995, Portland was also one of the 'homes' of the Royal Navy. Presently, however, the Island of Portland has fallen on hard times. It's declining 'industries' have been augmented by tourism, as well as operating The Verne prison, an animal migration observatory and Portland Bill lighthouse. The Island of Portland has no hospital, a stretched General Practioner doctor service, a small police force and only rudimentary public transport. It's clearly not the place to moor a megabarge, housing hundreds of asylum-seeking families, whilst they are slowly 'processed' (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/apr/05/anger-at-plan-to-house-asylum-seekers-on-barge-off-dorset-portland). The UK government seems intent on 'hiding away' their immigrant 'problem'. Dumping folk in a remote and deprived area, with few services, is wholly inappropriate. 'Out of sight, out of mind'?
