... I would do the following:

1. Ship all prisoners out to war torn countries on National Service for 5 Years (without weapons)....They cost the tax payer over £40,000 each to keep locked up and on their return send them back for a second tour.
2. Share the savings from the Prisoner relocation scheme to the OAPS, who only get approx £10,300 per year...
3. Get all able bodied unemployed people to volunteer (eg Helping old people or boxing up prisoners for export) in their local community in return for their benefits.
4. Leave the Euro zone and spend our euro savings on the NHS ( where you will be able to see people from the dole, volunteer by assisting nurses and orderlies with simple tasks that overworked medical staff have no time for...such as bringing food and general house keeping)
5. Legalise (tax) Cannabis to help pay for research into medical trials for cancer, dementia etc....
6. Bring back the Death penalty for convicted Murders and Paedophiles
7. Each citizen would be expected to invest at least 2 hours a week into helping your community, if they don't want to do 2 hours then they pay extra tax towards the NHS
8. Children under the age 18 would not be permitted to use a mobile device for more than one hour a day and they would be actively encouraged to have a real time social life.
9. see number 8 but applies to anyone over the age of 18
10. Finally, if you don't want to adhere to my rules... pack the sun cream or a rain coat, you are heading off to a war torn country and don't bother sending a postcard.

VOTE: ARCHANGEL!!!
 
And if I was Prime Minister, I reckon I would have loads of mates :)

PS

But would you need those kind of mates ? :rolleyes:
 
Basic flaw in #1 Mike.....You still have to house them and feed them especially since they'll be doing sod all due to their inability to engage without weapons :lol:
Cost difference? Neglegable....if not making a loss. :-)

And #5.....those trials are already taking place.

I presume the idea is to herd them in front of your army as cannon fodder to soak up opposition fire and protect your troops - as Genghis Khan did successfully at the battle of badgers mouth pass - the difference is that Ghengis did it with captured enemies, even he didn't sink so low as to do it with his own people.

the real failing is that the 'cost' of looking after the prisoners is mostly money spent on services in the UK - building prisons, employing prison officers etc - so you need to set unemployment benefit/retraining for all those that the sudden closure of their livelihood effects against the supposed saving

Mike, this seems like someone who believes in the electoral system, so I'd be interested to know who you voted for at the election this year and whether they were actually the party that you felt has the same ideas as yourself? Obviously your preferred party may not have stood in your own constituency, so there could be 2 answers there.:thinking:

Put it this way...I didn't vote labour, SNP, greens or any other fluffy politically correct parties....nor did I vote UKIP (which will possibly amaze a few people) :D

What about making postmen pick up litter on their way back to the depot being as though they have empty sacks.

That'll make you popular with the posties that are on TP :D
(I'm not saying its a bad idea of course :D)

Sorry Mike @archangel
I'm voting for Guy Fawkes next time,
after all, he was the only person to enter the houses of Parliament, with honest intentions :thumbs:
 
What about letting all us OAP,s stay in a nice warm prison with 3 free meals a day ,central heating ,free t.v and gyms ,plenty of people our own age to talk to .just let all the prisoners out and see if they can survive on a state pension ,you know it makes sense .
 
'freedom , to most , is just a word , like toast , but take it away, and you'll learn to say.. I want to fly like a bird from these walls.... (etc) [/seasick steve]

point being that prison isn't the walk in the park you make it out to be - and most prisoners would willingly swap their current position for freedom and 10k per year , while most OAPs would not in fact trade their current conditions for an institutionalised and overcrowded pit with no freedom of choice
 
#11 invade the eurozone - take everything of value by force

I wanna be director of the ministry of love - that way when i get tired of his leadership I can accuse him of oldthink and stage a coup
 
I wanna be the fabulously wealthy billionaire pulling the strings, without the perils of elections, pretending to give two hoots about Joe Bloggs, or having to get up at the crack of dawn to face John Humphreys.

you plutocratic bourgeois running dog lackeys will be first against the wall after the revolution... unless of course you make a handsome donation to the 'secret police holiday villa fund'

also what are these 'elections' of which you speak ... surely you don't expect us to care what the proles think ?

No, but we can at least give them the drama of an election (with one party to choose from). It'll give El Presidente an excuse to deliver a rousing 6-hour monologue about state agriculture reforms and tractor quotas, and the illusion of a functioning democracy should stop the UN from poking it's nose too deeply into my, ahem, our business.
