BarryRiley Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 This idea does at least make financial sense. Printy, printy. After all, printing money has always worked before. Of course, the people who have been given this million pounds may be a trifle irked when hyperinflation reduces its purchasing power to a medium Subway and Coke. Remember in Weimar Germany in November 1923, a loaf of bread cost 200000000000 Marks. Well this obviously won't work if we take in to account things like hyper-inflation. You've got to use your imagination Vague_Boy/. The OP's point relies on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly44 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 would it not be easier to shoot all the over 50s then the money would be saved but we would still get the jobs dont shot them but at least legalise assisted suicide. and what about making it easier for people to commit suicide?. in all honesty i think if i came to be in a position where my quality of life was not what i was willing to put up with, i think a little injection from a trained professional would be a godsend. after of course the proper session with a counsellor , just to make sure it was what me and my family wanted. that would save this country millions, and give people a dignified way to exit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinzy9 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The housing crisis is both a lack of houses and a lack of available mortgages especially for first time buyers. How would people paying off their mortgage or buying house with cash help the crisis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSmith Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Dear Mr. Cameron, Please find below our suggestion for fixing the UK 's economy. Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan: There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them £1 million each severance for early retirement with the following stipulations: 1) They MUST retire. Ten million job openings - unemployment fixed 2) They MUST buy a new British car. Ten million cars ordered - Car Industry fixed 3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed 4) They MUST send their kids to school/college/university - Crime rate fixed 5) They MUST buy £100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week ..... And there's your money back in duty/tax etc It can't get any easier than that! P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know. Also..... Let's put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in a nursing home. This way the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies and walks. They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc. and they'd receive money instead of paying it out. They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance. Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them. A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell. They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose. They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool and education. Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ's and legal aid would be free, on request. Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens. Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls. There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to. The criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised. Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and pay £600.00 per week and have no hope of ever getting out. Think about this (more points of contention): COWS Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Appleby almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the county of Cumbria? The government are probably behind the spread of this. And, they even tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 125,000 illegal immigrants wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow. Because I know David personally I can vouch for the fact the he doesn't frequent the boards, maybe it you be better to send him an E-mail or letter.

Darth Vader Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Remember in Weimar Germany in November 1923, a loaf of bread cost 200000000000 Marks. We've seen the price of bread double under the ToryDems. And it doesn't taste as good as it used to either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
