For some time I have thought there is a need for a new political party in this country, one that has the conviction to carry out its manifesto, one that is focused on a common sense approach to managing the economy, public spending, healthcare, defence and law and order. A party that is focused on doing its job and not taking part in idle tittle tattle with its opposition. A goal of making ‘Britain best’ and of creating a fairer distribution of wealth, less big bonus fat cats and less on the breadline.

This manifesto is nothing more than my ramblings, a chap from a middle class background who works in the private sector and is frustrated and sometimes disappointed by the management of the country. It might not be in any particular order, it may have elements that would be a disaster for the nation, it may have glaring omissions. But it will not be wrong, its correct because it is my opinion and it stands, I’m entitled to it on the basis of being a tax payer that provides his fair share.

Any person caught spitting in the street will be hand cuffed to railings and spat at.
Sportspersons will be banned from spitting during the game.
Any person caught rioting will be hand cuffed to railings, stripped, fire hosed, left for 24 hours.
Ban all foul language in all types of media.
School leavers aged 16 will be required to work, go to college or do national service with the armed forces for 2 years.
College leavers aged 18 will be required to work, go to university or do national 3 years.
No income support or benefit payment of any kind is available to under 21’s.
Benefit cap for all new claims from this point on will be equal to the current national minimum wage at 40 hours week.
Cancel all child benefit for homes with an income above 2* minimum wage.
Cap immigration at 10k people per year.
Exit EU.
Sex offenders will be castrated.
Murderers will be hung.
Huge public investment in nuclear power generation and sale of power abroad.
All convicted criminals who are not a danger to society will be forced to work for the public good as punishment, road sweeping, hospital laundry etc.
All convicted criminals that have stolen funds from the treasury via benefit fraud or tax evasion will be given the choice of paying back or being paid for their job at minimum wage, all earnings above that will be skimmed off by the courts to pay back the debt.
More tax on tabacco
More tax on booze.
Cancel all foreign aid packages.
Public sector salaries will be capped at £80k.
Investment in science and technology in schools, colleges and universities.
Reduce the number of university spaces for courses that have limited ability to start careers.
Invest in universities in science, technology, law, finance, education and medicine.
Stop building poor quality high density housing.
Start building quality family homes with big gardens for kids to play in.
Breakdown the buying power of major supermarket chains, man in the street paying the proper price to allow the manufacturer or farmer to make a comfortable living.
Tax incentives for firms putting British made goods into high street stores.
Raise import duty on goods that are also manufactured in the UK.
Breakdown the money that moves in circles, example, man in the street buys milk from supermarket cheap, farmer is paid a low price, man in the street pays income tax which is partly given to farmer in subsidy, its daft, we should minimise tax and pay the proper price.
And finally, as this is PH, 50% reduction in tax on petrol.

No doubt I’ll think of more, no doubt PHer’s will have something to say.

Indeed he has. It's one of those words like 'bigot' that gets thrown about by people who aren't sure what it means.

I can think of many words to describe this manifesto, but fascist isn't one of them! biggrin

No doubt you're and idiot, you do realise Jeremy Clarkson isn't a real person don't you?

The people who are spitting on the spitters handcuffed to railings, do they have special dispension? Like a 007, licenced to spit? Or is the whole country eventually going to be tied to railings and just one lone spitter left free to spit all day long?

Your introduction was good and I was encouraged to read further... but after your first 4 points I dismissed you as a nutter. Seriously, you want to ban sweraing and chain people to railings for spitting? I agree it's not pleasant but there are bigger fish, surely?

No, you have to file a Spit Permission form L049 at your local borough office then there is background checking process that takes 2-4 weeks. After that you're allowed to spit and even then only if you earn 3x minimum wage (or have equivalent assets that prove your middle class status) or you're in violation of your Spit Permission and may be spat upon yourself.
