All we ask is for a fairer society, especially for the elderly and infirm.
How about?
Whilst the elderly are having their savings and homes plundered to pay for care why not implement the same for prisoners.
Why are the taxpayers paying for care of the criminally minded and not for the law abiding elderly? Prisoners should be meeting at least some of the cost for their keep and victims.
Why not have a Government owned Bank. One that guarantees the depositors funds and gives a decent interes rate. Is it beyond the ability of the government to practice what they preach.
How about repatriating overseas visitors back to their country of birth if they commit a crime in this country. Come to that, lets empty the prisons of overseas criminals and deport them for those who have committed lower offences.
Lets nationalise the utility companies. Why pay for 6 lots of overheads, 6 lots of dividends, 6 lots of huge bonuses, how about economy of scale. With dwindling resources in the world and ever increasing costs of supply, it is going to happen that some rationalising will have to take place as with the multitude of Banks. At least the cost savings could be passed onto the customer [remember when we were customers and not profit marks] and not satisfy the city.
Why are we doing away with terrestrial communication in favour of digital transmissions. What happens if we lose all the digital signals, how does the government communicate with the masses during an emergency.
How about slashing commercial rates to give small businesses a chance to survive.
Lets take hospitals out of the PPI schemes, far too expensive and unwieldy. Whose stupid idea was that?.
Lets do away with the multitude of languages spoken in England, ensuring that English is mandatory in all spects of life.

Why not ban all credit and store cards. Let overdrafts be carried on a debit card authorised by a Bank manager [if you are old enough, you might remember them?] to ensure that they can be safely repaid. Completely ban loan companies that charge exhorbitant rates. Fix a universal rate of borrowing for all.
Lets go back to the original pub opening hours, ban the selling of alcohol in all establishments after 11pm. That way police will not spend the early hours of every morning dealing with violence and human degredation in just about every town in the land. Ban the selling of alcohol in Superstores and go back to a strictly enforced off licence system.
Ensure evening classes are inexpensive, that way it will help people to improve their lot in a variety of ways. Why are they so expensive now?
Banks need to bear a considerable burden, profits to be frozen, until the recession improves, and spread low-interest or no-interest credits to the businesses who can use them to restart the economic flow.
Two levels of interest differentials, one for businesses and another for domestic. Interest rates not to be tied to BOE rates. Maintain a differential between borrowers and depositors, say 6% and 4% repectively and flat yearly rates.
Ban short term dealing. If you buy shares you must hold onto them for 3 months before further transactions.
Delete VAT and Council tax. Absolutely a no brainer and replace with a service tax to be added at the tills. Delete inheritance tax altogether. Combine National insurance rates and income tax into one figure.
Bring in ID cards linked to NI numbers and a properly filled out census form. Census form to include all close relatives living in this country and abroad. Prohibit the use of any tax payer funded service to anyone without an ID card. ID card to include finger prints and iris scan technology.
Release land for cheap housing near places of work to avoid long distance travel.
Privatise the railway network for the same reasons as for the utility companies.
Open up the coal mines, open cast mining and continue with coastal drilling operations to find cheap fuel instead of being squeezed by foreign countries.
Endeavour to be self suffucient in all aspects of life and not rely on foreign imports so that in the event of a food crisis we can maintain ourselves.
Make steps in reducing the population of the country by not encouraging people to have more than two children. Try to eliminate the need for divorce and early pregnancy in the young and unmarried.
Ban the wearing of religious garments in public places and not displace the misguided attempt to ignore the English church and way of life integral to the main populations beliefs and ways.
work in progress... feel free to suggest some items.........
