In response - Ban Environmentalism - you need to explain what exactly you would ban and how? Increase Taxes - for the ridiculously overpaid, and raise basic exemption to £15k. AGREED, Take control of the media - WHAT! and have some Govt jerk decide what lies we get fed. 1984 here we come. Ban Vegetarianism - and pay our farmers more - add import taxes on food. Lower the duty on alcohol and cigarettes - rubbish. Raise them. Allow people to smoke in public places - no- add taxes. Fire some managers from the NHS, and use the money saved to upgrade their equipment - and train staff to treat people as their employer not a brain dead robot. Ban Celebrity worshipping TV programs, Make more educational programs instead like Top Gear? - ban soaps - introduce test on fit and proper TV. Ban religion, it causes too much violence - yes Capital Punishment for Religious leaders? Enforced castration on fathers having 4 kids. - same outcome for Mothers having kids with more than 2 fathers. Increase Family Allowance for first 2 kids - zero after that.
Well that's me ****ed, as I have five children by two women. Can I be exempt cos I'm over 65 and can I get extra state pension !!!!!! Other than that it's just perfect, I'll vote for it.
Ernie, oops...I always manage to put my foot in it - don't take it personally. I don't want you to have your balls in a glass by the bed....... We had a boy first then twin girls - so as soon as they said we might get twins again - I only got it on my birthday !!!!! Glad you like some of my fiscal suggestions. Another is free birth-control pill, and free flowers for the lady if she can prove her man got it every day in the preceding week. Waddya fink?
You're the main man Bergy, hark, I hear them chanting in the distance, "Bergy for Prime minister" and can I be the man that opens the door at No 10.
On a more serious note we got the bastard, it seems public opinion does matter after all, for the time being anyway. Presumably F1 will not be on Sky in the forseeable future.
Was good seeing Gordon Brown roasting the current government and BskyB aka Murdoch empire. Hope they **** him and his ****ty family sideways back to Melbourne...
1. I would ban greenpeace and Bill Oddie 2.You've got it spot on 3.I don't plan to use the media as a propaganda machine, just trying to stop people like murdoch taking it all over 4.Spot On 5.People have the right to smoke and drink. This will be a free country under me, they shouldn't have to pay more than is needed. And i've recently quit drinking. 6.Again, it's a free country. I don't smoke, but i don't mind being around smokers. 7. I think the NHS does a good job. I used it a lot last year when i broke my foot, and the quality of care and treatment was exemplary. 8. Top Gear classifies as an educational program. Compare it to crap like "The only way is essex" and you'll see why i want to revamp our TV. I would keep F1 on terrestrial TV 9. I am a fan of capital punishment, and i believe strongly in the death penalty. I believe it would be a good way of solving prison overcrowding. The US has the right idea for once. 10. Disagree, people are entitled to have children. 11. I would reduce the family allowance. My mother is unemployed, and living off benefits, so am i, but unlike her, i am actively seeking work whilst i continue with my studies. People who are proved to be seriously hunting for jobs should be allowed extra jobseekers allowance, i've been out of work for a year now, and can't seem to find anything, but i am trying. Extra ideas Chavs should be executed. ASBOs don't work, chavs see them as a mark of respect. Cancelling the so-called special relationship. It's done us no favours whatsoever. Lets get friendly with the russians. Police don't have to fill in so many health and safety forms, so they can do their job's better. My cousin is a detective constable, and he says the amount of paperwork they have to get through prior to arresting anyone is ridiculous. Remove the congestion charge. It's stupid, there are easier ways to raise public funds. Remove Gatso's. Same as the congestion charge, but they cause accidents.
We are on the right track (pun intended). Yes reduce paperwork on EVERYTHING. Introduce new speed limit on motorways -80mph. Impose 20mph within 400m of schools. Ban people dropping off kids within 100m of the 'gates'. No cameras - agreed. On 3rd stealing offence you lose a finger - but can choose which! On domestic violence the offending male gets to wear a colourful jacket with 'wife beater' on it , and has to collect garbage in local area for 50 hours. people are entitled to have children. -but why should the general population pay for them? Reduce count of MPs to 300 - salary £100k no expenses...... Reduce Lords to 100 over time - they will die off anyway. EVERYBODY has to do 20 hours of street cleaning per year - graffiti cleaning, rubbish collecting etc. Offenders do 200 hours. This is the dirtiest developed country in the world.
What a superb post this is Bergy. Apart from pointing 'the finger' quite so strongly, there is not a single word I disagree with! I'm also looking forward to reading your appraisal of BBC finances, which should make for an interesting read. I particularly like the street cleaning idea, although I have no idea where I'll find the necessary 20 hours! Have some +Rep. (for whatever it's worth…??… ) [Edit: What the hell is wrong with this 'Rep' thing? It's completely daft that I cannot give it to who I want to! This is another thing to put in our manifesto!]
- Sounds as if you went to the wrong places Cowboy. Some of the islands are pristine. Skiathos for instance - where I met simply the most beautiful girl I have ever seen (rivalled by just one who met in a Barcelona florists) in a certain jewellery in the main town. She was working for her wonderfully elegant, gentleman of a father, who pandered to my whims to create a ring I designed on the spot, inspired by his beautiful, beautiful daughter. I wonder if she's still there? - Must do the trip again to find out before my days are done, and show them both that the ring still fits…
Well guys if you are all serious, the manifesto looks pragmatic extremely workable and will turn this wonderful country of ours around, let start the party. Cosi, you are a romantic at heart, man. Running a country is not hard, we just have to inspire and educate then reward, simple. Bring back winning, school sports days, ambition, pride, get rid of ****ing political correctness.
