    Anyone who feels that the UK is actually worth saving could do worse than to look here.

    Put not your trust in princes, their first priority is always to make sure the tax-collectors visit on time.
    We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.

    In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

    Get shot of the farking 'Nues Arbeits Partie'.... put in a Conservatives government.... even with the Boy Dave Lite and the Tory Boys, anything must be better than the current bunch of testicle-less farck-wits....

    I would vote for the Lib-Dems.... but they 'Love EU-SSR-Land-Land' far too much....

    A Conservative government, even with Cameroony as Dear Leader.... must give a certain boost to the financial markets and stock exchange... instead of our current Pseudo-Commie 'Squander Bugging' Numtpy-ised bunch of Hoons in the form of Cyclops and Friends...

    Rant over.... I rest me case...... :P
    Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity .....

    Bone Idle hands make a man Benefits Dependent, but diligent hands bring wealth - then the Thieving Banksters & Tax Man rob you...

    All too true,but at least we would have a real say on how the cash spent.

    Besides UKIP and the Lib dems are putting a raise in the tax thresh-hold on the map.

    Want a more efficient government?Starve the bastards of cash,they cant waste what they dont have. (unless of course you are Labour who will simply borrow more to waste.)

    Re: Saving UK plc

    [align=center]When a man spends his own money to buy something for himself, he is very careful how much he spends and how he spends it.

    When a man spends his own money to buy something for someone else, he is still very careful about how much he spends, but somewhat less what he spends it on.

    When a man spends someone else's money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about what he buys, but doesn't care at all how much he spends.

    And when a man spends someone else's money on someone else, he doesn't care how much he spends or what he spends it on.

    And that's government for you

    Firstly - lower corperation tax and increase small business relief. Get the business back to Britain

    Secondly - We need an industrial base to provide employment, it currently isnt viable due to import taxes and regulations. I would de-regulate businesses and lower import taxes making it viable to increase imports. getting more income overall by increasing input.

    Thirdly - I would reform primary school education, at the moment there is too much in it. Reduce it, focus on mathes english, science and geography. Scrap this PSHCE crap. There is nothing wrong with the methods used just the subjects.


    Fourth - Alter secondary get rid of vocational subjects, lower the leaving age back to 16. Provide a stimulus to increase vocational subjects at FE allowing two tier education to be reformed if you want to learn a trade you can. You want to do A levels fine.

    Fifth cut the budgets of welfare and local councils. Make them provide local services but reduce the other bits such as stupid rokles like cohesion officers.

    Sixth - I would centralise the NHS instead of making them accountable at ward level make the pot centralised and thus you avoid the need and the cost of employing someone to manage the accounts at ward level.

    Finally - Make the forces more independant of parliment, yes still follow their orders but give senior commaders more of a voice.

    Thats just the way I see of correcting UK PL and making it viable.
    I think your name is wrong nutter :D

    Some very good ideas expressed thus far.

    The thread benefits from the absence of the Labour apologists who infest, with their seasoned inanity, so many threads.
