Medical, teaching and dental students must spend minimum 10 years working in public sector before being able to go private. First houses tax free - every house after 25% tax regardless if privately owned or company owned Local authority busses - brought back. National train service - brought back. National Airline - brought back. National Utilities - Brought back. BBC - Scrapped TV Licence. Minimum working age raised to 70 before state pension paid.
Main things they need to sort for me in no particular order: Energy/utility requirements - can't believe we are bent over a barrel for human necessities and allow the providing companies to raise prices - water for example, where I live, is potentially going to go up 45-91% next year if the company get's their way! Every human on the planet should have access to water at cost price, not being extorted for a living essential. Re-nationalise energy/utilities across the board and make them affordable for everyone. I'd include transport in this such as rail and bus networks to stop the outrageous rises in prices and strikes. Funding the NHS - it's imperative that everyone has access to the NHS if needed, it needs more funding, more nurses and doctors - personally I'd fund this legalising all drugs and sell through ethical and nationally backed suppliers at 50% tax - all of which goes to the NHS. People should be free to make their own choice as to what they do with their free time - it's no different to smoking ***s (the worst drug in the world) or alcohol but those are the ones they've deemed socially acceptable. You'd cut a lot of crime and it's an entirely new industry to tax and raise money from for the NHS. Granted there may be more use of the NHS as tweakers generally aren't the healthiest of people but people are already using drugs illegally - may as well tax it and put it towards the Health Service. I'd also consider private NHS units to help bring in more money for the general NHS where NHS Staff could work 2/3 shifts a month to earn some extra cash as well for themselves. Stop the current benefit system and re-start - it's a piss take so many sit around on benefits while not even trying to find work or just knocking out kids to get bigger and better houses. I'd set up state backed jobs like litter picking, pot hole filling, farmhands, creche work and general maintenance jobs for the country you would have to work to receive your benefits - you could be sent on courses to gain qualifications for roles to help you find further employment while on these state mandatory jobs. Disability benefits are essential though but still feel that those on disability would (in the main) want to work if possible in appropriate jobs for their disability e.g. call handlers for emergency services. Migration - you are welcome as long as you are coming with some form of degree/qualification/skill to actually contribute e.g. nurses/doctors/engineers/scientists etc. Anyone attempting to enter illegally would be sent straight back to their country of origin, no exceptions. Refugee's are a different matter in my mind and if you are genuinely fleeing war you'll be welcomed but put to work in state backed jobs and integration education immediately upon your arrival until you find a job.
Smoking is terrible for your health, but you really think cigarettes are worse than heroine, crack or crystal meth? What are you smoking? Lol I guess you mean worse for society (in terms of related health burden on NHS) rather than worse for the individual, but if you are claiming worse for society, you would have to adjust your numbers as your legalisation and easy access plan would result in more addicts for each currently illegal drug, which would make them far more problematic than they currently are on a societal level. They're already far worse on an individual one.
RE Benefits: State backed jobs could be construed as "forced labour".........but you get nothing for free in life. Only suggestion would be to keep them away from kids, with them not wanting to be there i would barely trust them with a discarded crisp packet let alone a baby. RE Migration: You need a caveat about coming here to gain a qualification. We need to train more Dr's & Nurses etc & if they're willing to learn, i don't care what colour or creed they are when they're saving lives.
From personal point of view I'd prefer to be on smack, at least you get a decent high. Cigarettes just kill you with none of the fun! Fair points though and if you look at Portugal who have legalised possession of drugs since 2001 there are benefits (lower crime and conviction rates) and pit falls - more HIV cases and more drug related deaths but are still generally below the EU averages (as they were before) peaking at 0.75 deaths per 100,000 people but dropping again since the peak in 2001-02 but appear to be on the way back up. https://transformdrugs.org/blog/drug-decriminalisation-in-portugal-setting-the-record-straight#:~:text=Many impacts of reform were,an upturn in drug deaths. Migration/Forced labour - absolutely nail on head - it probably is forced labour but if you don't want to work fine, just don't expect someone else to pay your way and enjoy the park benches you sleep on. I think a lot of the benefit mums would only be able to do work with kids - they generally aren't the smartest but they seem to be able to raise numerous children at a time . State backed creches, with qualified managerial oversight of course, while studying in child care would be attainable for them - but there are plenty who probably wouldn't be able to either, it's about finding work for those that need it, suited to their needs. Migration - personally I wouldn't allow people in who aren't already qualified, what do you do with them while they are studying? Free accommodation and benefits, not for me.
He's not an ex mackem!!! Science may have come far but we still can't fly to the sun and we still can't unmackem a mackem.
Well I am a bit scotch Probably the "making home brew an gerrin pìssed on it". Although I do eat a decent balanced diet
Apparently there was a bloke rowing up the tyne singing "old man river". An alien space ship passing over decided to remove a quarter of his brain for analysis. Amazed at the fact he was still singing 'old man river" having had a quarter of his brain removed, they took another quarter. Half a brain and he's still rowing and singing "old man river" So they removed all of the remaining brain. "The fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine, toon toon" .
