ronthenekred Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 When you think about the trouble Burke & Hare got into over that when they should have been celebrated as heroes A damn travesty of justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*_ash_* Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Foregn aid To be slashed to the minimum - this to be paid for by a 50p cut in a litre of petrol. The money from foregn aid would be directed to our elderly who have paid into the system all their lives. I don't get this? Foreign Aid slashed and reduce 50p in a litre from what was paid to Foreign Aid, but then you've gone on to say that you would use the money from FAid to go to the elderly. This money would not exist in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_parkin Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Here's some if your struggling:... Return of the death penalty Remove all foreigners Women should stay at home freeing up jobs The promotion of Christian values. Don't agree with the 3rd one I'm afraid. Another option is this The minimum income guarantee - for a full time worker a guarantee of a minimum income of £250 a week for a full time worker (part time worker would be £125 a week). Lets say someone earns £220 a week, the state would top them up to £250 by giving £30, someone earning £190 each week would get £60 etc..... This would be funded by a cut to benefits to people who refuse work, foregn aid would also be cut to fund this. There would also be the raising of the tax threashold to £12000 a year so work always pays Cuts to drug addition programmes as well as alcohol abuse victims - this money would be diverted to people suffering illnesses that are not lifestyle choices (illnesses through sheer bad luck, cancer dementia etc....) The retirement age would be cut back to 60, which would free up jobs for our young. So in effect, instead of funding young people to not work, we now fund old people to not work (and the young would pay taxes - on earnings after £12000 per annum -) This money would allow people to retire at 60. People in specialised jobs who are 55, would then be given a youth who they would train up so they can do the job when they reach 60. Money would be cut from the FE system, and diverted into training young people to do real jobs. For example, a plumber approaching retirement would be given funding to teach up to 5 young people a trade, passing on his skills. The young people would be learning on the job. Accepted they would not get a nice qualification, but they would gain hands on trade skills which they could then use for paid work in the future. Grammer schools to be funded and only the best (regardless of background) be given scolarships. The current system of favouring the rich is not fair (internships - not good if you don't have rich parents), good schools in good areas and lets not forget private schools for the truely rich.

This money would not exist in this case. Money we spend on foregn aid would go to the elderly. Petrol cut by 50p a litre, which would give car owners/familys additional spare cash to spend in the economy, more money in businesses means more money for businesses - the chancellor gets more money because the business has greater takings and pays more tax as a consequqnce. As it stands now, a huge chunk of peoples spare cash goes on petrol/fuel - money which cannot be spent elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_parkin Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Overweight people being forced to some exercises before being allowed to purchase fatty foods at the supermarket.

biotechpete Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I think a cap to child benefit or a reduction per child beyond 2 makes sense. I remember having hand me downs of hand me downs from cousins to siblings to me, certainly it gets cheaper the more children you have. 8k seems a little low, but a cap at 37.5xhourly minimum wage seems sensible as a starting point.
