These Societies stand on a similar basis to Limited Liability
Companies, though. You may wind them up, you cannot conveniently put
concrete blocks on their feet, blow them up with dynamite, and have
them land in The Canal...

Try this:

import dirtydeeds

muscle = dirtydeeds.hire()
muscle.concrete_shoes(performance_group)
muscle.dynamite.explode(performance_group)
remains = muscle.collect(performance_group)
muscle.dump(remains, "The Canal")


It's not free software (free as in beer), but I'm told that it is dirt 
cheap...

I would also recommend:

del gmail

except that I haven't gotten around to finding a replacement. So I
managed instead to mix two different forms of humour (Gilbert &
Sullivan, and the Goon Show), and post it to a place that shares a
name with a third (Python)...
