Career criminals to be put down

Eg these types of people who are in jail for the 7th time for burglary etc
If one has had 7 jail terms for the same offence one is hardly a career criminal, most likely a desperate smack head or just plain scumbag scrote. A career criminal would be someone with multiple convictions progressing in perceived judicial importance.

One should have to pass a test before being allowed to have children.

Then a second much harder test before being allowed a second.

The third, we'll you get the drift.
I was about to post the exact same - minimum competency & IQ test for prospective parents.
Tests to be passed and a charge / fine to be paid.
Something like £1000.

If you cant save up and therefore plan and live accordingly then you cant re-produce.

In benefits for more than a year? Lose right to vote
Want to sit on your (non-disability related) fat arse claiming benefits as a lifestyle and not contributing to society?

No problem - just wait for the doctor to administer your contraceptive jab and once that's been witnessed we'll transfer the money. And hopefully prune all future branches of your family tree.


Eventually it'll free up housing stock and reduce the pressure on the benefits system. thumbup

Dog Star consistently posts some amusing and thoughtful stuff, but I don’t think that he thought long enough with that one.
I know what he means, as an ex truck driver, I’ve been guilty of annoying my share of car drivers, but I can say, hand on heart, rarely if ever will a HGV driver do it to annoy.

In the event of a child under 16 committing a crime, both parents should be investigated to ensure they have been reasonable parents. If not, they should be charged with the offence their child has committed.

Feckless dads who impregnate multiple women and then have nothing more to do with their children will have this hanging over their heads like the sword of Damocles. They can be at home minding their own business, when the police could arrive and arrest them for theft, vandalism, car theft, mugging, murder or whatever. By virtue of the fact that they haven't seen their 15 y/o for years. If they claim they tried to get access but were denied by the mother, if found to be true, she could fail the reasonable parenting test for not allowing the father to be involved, and be charged with the offence her child has committed.

Credits to be awarded to drivers unable to reach the speed limit in variable limit zones or average speed camera areas.

Every mph under the limit through one zone is one mph they can use at a future date without penalty.

Thought u meant people in cars incapable of hitting the speed limit, or those choosing not to!

I haven't read the entire thread so this may have already been posted.

I would ban horse riding on roads. Its just too dangerous for riders and other road users.

Think about it, less time stuck in traffic means less operating costs, means more productivity out of the drivers hours. It’s all upsides but alas you don’t get the smartest folks attracted to the profession.

What about the increased wages for the drivers for working unsociable hours? Or the extra wages for the warehouses that are loading and unloading?

Government cannot spend more in any given year than they receive in taxes etc. No government borrowing under any circumstances.

Overall it would balance out. What time do supermarket trucks run?

You have more man hours which means less staff needed. You’re saving so
Much more on fuel, you can deliver more etc. It’s alll upsides

It really really isnt. You save a bit of the drivers time, but are forced to spend more on wages for 100s of warehouse staff. The fuel saving will be very small as well. But I cant see us agreeing.

Excellent idea and I fully agree.

That is going to work really well with the current generation(s) rent, they all have loads of spare cash don't they?

I suppose it would be better than the current human pyramid scheme that is mass immigration and the resulting low paid ecomony. All to pay pensions and look after pensioners today with no thought whatsoever when those people themselves retire and require care.
