to get us out of this mess.


The Germans have criticised his proposed policies and it seems a little odd that when we are supposed to be in the worst down turn since the great depression that we are also messing about with things like Carbon trading and hosting the Olympics.

What is the considered PH play for recovery?


I'll kick off the list

Get the troops home from Iraq and Afganistan.

No more imigration from anywhere (even within the EU).

Remove as many spongers and removable people as is prudent to.

Forced labour of those who choose benifits as a lifestyle choice.

Make it law that every job vacancy is on a central database for Job seekers to find easily

Stop giving huge amounts to the EU and to other countries. Charity begins at home.

Ditch the Olympics

Call a general election.

He and his party have done enough damage to UK plc, so if they were looking to do the decent thing, they should call an election now.

However, for some reason which totally escapes me, this country's romantic socialist idealist relationship with labour renders it incapable of reconising quit how damaging the two most recent returns to power have been. As a result, no other political party has developed as an economically viable alternative to the consrvative, in whose exit holes I do not beleive the center of our solar system to be.

Good start.

Cut ties with all outside influences. Officially become not part of Earth thereby becoming immune to the global economic crisis by default.

11 years of bad decisions wont be undone overnight

They need to start accounting for every penny they spend, with anything over $1m in total expenditure needing a vote from the public as it's a penny earned in tax revenue. Any money going abroad needs to have double that spent locally on real every day items, such as roads and crime.

Then stop giving our (devaluing) money away to idiots, and spackers who dont deserve the air they breathe

There's more I'm sure

He has a point though.

Anyway, on with the thread.

Gordon should be calling an election.

The public are too used to hearing 6 billion this, 13 billion that, 9 billion here, 12 billion there. Ihonestly don't think they realize just how badly this government is saddling future generations with debt!

Interesting to see that Conservative inherited huge debts, reduced them and now Labour are ramping them up again!

Raise the income tax threshold to £10,000.

Flat tax on income on every pound earned thereafter of 25%

National insurance to be 5% to £25000 income 10% thereafter

Scrap Council tax and fund Local Councils directly from Central Funds.

Abolish inheritence tax, Capital gains tax etc etc etc - as many taxes as possible to be cancelled.

Whilst initial revenue recieved would decline, we wouldn't need as much money because ....

Unemployment Benefit only paid for 12 months - thereafter - no job = no money

Haven't paid two years NI contributions = No benefits

Got a Public sector job with any of these words in the title ?

"out reach", "Co-ordinator" "fruit" "Rights" "green" "Development" "Talent" collect your P45.


In two years Entrepreneurialism will be back in vogue, plenty of people will be self employed and we will be back to full employment (barring Seasonal and long term sick)

Also - he should change the law to prevent Pubs from changing their names, and another one to guarantee that anyone here illegally who commits a crime is deported.
