Close the tax loopholes which some big compaines are using to avoid tax

 

Cut foreign aid back hard, taking it away from most countries

 

Cut subsides for large scale wind farms which are massively uneconomical

 

Cut salaries and expenses claims of MPs

 

Getting out of the EU would save us around £50 million a day

10% wage cut across the board for all public sector employees.

 

Instant redundancy for anybody with equality, diversity or racial in their job title

 

Freeze all benefits for next 5 years

 

Ditch winter fuel payments for the over 65's.

 

That should sort us out quite quickly, easy is'nt it?

Welfare... Longer you on welfare less you get, even a disabled person can start their own business. What I do can be done without ever leaving the laptop, if I was so inclined.

Food cards for those on welfare, that way they can't waste money on booze and fags. Severe tax on those on welfare who win lottery. They buy a ticket with my money, I (state) should get a big cut! Think about it, if a mate asked to borrow a tenner to back a horse he had inside track on, you would expect a cut of winnings. Those on welfare should have to work for govt doing gov't jobs, litter picking, data entry, you name it. Nothing should come free, if I don't work I don't earn, why should it be any diff for anyone else who is too lazy. If they felt the pain, they would work, end of!

 

Now where's the ladder so I can climb off this soapbox

mps wages or sack the lot of them and have a prime minister and a jury service type ov parliment so when you want to pass laws ect you call up say 50 -100 people from the general public who after all are the people most things in parliment effect and let them vote simple and a lot cheaper :good:

10% cut across the board for all public sector employees. they would end up on benefits and paid redundancy - bad idea, natural wastage us better

 

Instant redundancy for anybody with equality, diversity or racial in their job title - as above

 

Freeze all benefits for next 5 years - agreed and see my post

 

Ditch winter fuel payments for the over 65's. well that would kill off a few pensioners to reduce pension payments, not a great plan tho!

 

That should sort us out quite quickly, easy is'nt it?

Family allowance cut immediatly to 2 kids only. National Health to those only that have paid in, or whose parents have paid in. Cut foreign aid to nil. Out of the EU immediatly.Make everyone self employed, so if you don't work you don't get paid.. Give jobs to our own people by preferance.I've already saved billions so with all the money i've saved i would build loads of bootcamp prisons SORTED... from Auntie.

I would make everyone on job seekers or benefits who are able to work i.e. not disabled or have very young kids report to the local community centre, council office, school or other nominated place and make them work. Cutting grass, painting, picking litter, caring for the elderly, clearing ditches, removing gum from the streets. In fact any job that the tax payers pay for. If they want to receive the benefits then they should earn them not sit on their *** and have it handed to them. If they have an interview or some training for a new job or something similar then that should take priority.

I don't think decent hard working people who are out of work would have issue with this.

If they don't want to do it they don't get any money.

First leave the EU, throw out every EU immigrant who has strolled in on a false ticket, bank the 10 billion a year saved, then we can begin:

The welfare state by 60%. Sink or swim time people. NHS manangers by half, privatise all but emergency care, introduce compulsory health insurance. Scrap LEAs, privatise school governership, ban tax-payer subsidy of trade unions.

All forms of government subsidy to green energy. All foriegn aid, full stop, to everyone. All benefits to taxpayers. All fertility treatment on the NHS. All benefits to all immigrants. Support yourselves for ten years until you are elligible to apply for residency or go home. All second home and travelling allowances for MPs. Build dormatories - with British tradesmen. All public sector final salary pensions.

The size and reach of the state and the personel employed, by 50%.

Cut taxes, scrap employers NI, reduce corporation tax to 12%.

Increase defence spending and pay and pensions for service personel.

Take politics out of local government, 15% cut in all chief officers' salaries, abolish all mainland Assemblies and revert to Parliament control. Each council to have no more than 10 members. Max number of MPs...100. Cap council tax for the whole country and sack all chief officers who would not provide the same service. Cut the rank of Superintendent, including the assistants/deputies, from Police forces. Increase constables pay by 10%. Cut VAT to 15% to stimulate consumer confidence. Sack all of the accountants in the NHS. Ban socialism until national debt paid off...and place Milliband and Balls under house arrest in Gilfach Goch. Regulate the banks and the press properly. Tax MNE operating in this country in accordance with their turnover, when group consolidated profit is high. Cut MP's pay by 20% and cap their expenses to £20k pa...leave EU. Fine everyone exceeding 90 MPH on motorways £1,000 and crush their cars. Limit head teachers salaries to £40,000 in primary schools and £50,000 in secondary schools. Anyone doing a degree must be business or science/ engineering related. Teach business studies in primary and secondary schools. Shut the door...no more immigrants. Hang all paedos, rapists etc. Bring back National Service.

Make the PM and his Ilk work for NMW like the rest of us!

 

That will NEVER happen so I would STOP MP's expenses! Surely they can afford a train ticket or a bus pass? Stop the subsidised bar and meals in the Houses of Parliament!

 

Cap migrants who have no skills.

 

Those WITH skills will have to apply for a job BEFORE entering the UK.

 

Stop foreign aid and use it to fund Manufacturing plants employing our own workforce!

 

Conscript 16 year olds who leave school and don't want to work! Train them in the forces with skills such as Cooks Medics Logistics Engineers etc. They will get UK postings until they are 18 and given a choice of staying on or dropping out.

 

Use prisoners for labour. No free meals. You dont work you go hungry!

 

Stop Child benefit for Mothers under 20 years of age! Maybe it will stem the flow of teen mothers.

 

Cap child benefit to two children at any one time!

 

Stop payouts for Alcoholics and drug users! They get rehab once! They screw it up TOUGH they go it alone!

Those three ideas are very good.

 

Developing on the first idea on conscription, national service would give children discipline, as well as other skills, and could prove useful.

 

Prisoners should be used for labour, but only for stuff like picking litter and cleaning chewing gum and graffiti off the streets. Saves the council from spending money on it.

 

No child benefit for under 20s would help with teen pregnancies.

 

 

As has been mentioned by others, food vouchers could help. I would avoid vouchers, as they can swap that for cash, but a card like a debit card would be good, as you can easily stop them from spending taxpayer money on stuff which isn't essential.
