    Dodgy's Political manifesto

    As there is a bit of politics floating around today here we go.

    1. Education: create a voucher system for schools, everyone, rich or poor gets to choose where their children go to school. This would eventually mean creating many more of them (smaller) and handing them over to be run as charitable entities aka the public school system.

    2. Sports facilities: wherever possible land assigned for development would be given priority to be turned into sports facilities, clubs/schools to partner each other; same applies to music.

    3. Health.. voucher system again as per education.

    4. Defence, yep we'll have some shiny new kit, and cumpulsory national service or social service for all for one year.

    5. Business, any monopoly to be broken up (watch out Tesco).

    6. Inheritance tax. relief yes up to say £300,000 with the rest to be returned to the government on the death of an individual.

    7. Welfare only to be paid if people work. Work can be anything from cleaning up dog turds in the park, to cleaning graffiti, to child minding, looking after older people. training, lots and lots of training for people to get them into work

    8. Legalise fox hunting (we dont want the toffs running the country so give them something else to do)

    9. European Union, no more of our power to be handed to Brussels unless by referendum.

    10.legalise prostitution and make it exempt from VAT

    11.Simplify tax
    Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone

        Get rid totally. Education could be done better on-line for peanuts.

        2. Sports facilities: wherever possible land assigned for development would be given priority to be turned into sports facilities, clubs/schools to partner each other; same applies to music.
        Eh?

        3. Health.. voucher system again as per education.
        Get rid. Sack 'em all, the bloody leaches lining their pockets off the misfortuntes of others. Replace with on-line diagnostics and treatment abroad, at a cost of peanuts.

        4. Defence, yep we'll have some shiny new kit, and cumpulsory national service or social service for all for one year.
        Yep, need defence to develop shiny new technology. There's huge waste though, so sack em all and start again.

        5. Business, any monopoly to be broken up (watch out Tesco).
        Good idea.

        6. Inheritance tax. relief yes up to say £300,000 with the rest to be returned to the government on the death of an individual.
        Okay.

        7. Welfare only to be paid if people work. Work can be anything from cleaning up dog turds in the park, to cleaning graffiti, to child minding, looking after older people. training, lots and lots of training for people to get them into work
        Hmm. This will put people that do these jobs out of work.

        8. Legalise fox hunting (we dont want the toffs running the country so give them something else to do)
        A hideous sadistic sport practised and enjoyed by perverts and other half-men. Participants should be locked up with paedophiles.

        9. European Union, no more of our power to be handed to Brussels unless by referendum.
        Too late.

        10.legalise prostitution and make it exempt from VAT
        Didn't realise it was illegal.

        11.Simplify tax
        This would lower tax takes considerably, but with the measures put in above, would be doable.

          Why spend so much money on education when it is more cost effective to import educated people from abroad?
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            Makes no economic sense, and nor does rearing kids. There's no shortage abroad and never will be.

            Looking at GCSE exam papers and coursework it appears the whole lot could be crammed in about two weeks by an adult anyway, and would save about 10 years of kids time wondering whether it is time to go home yet.

                You are missing the point. The point about educating kids properly is that they do not turn out to become welfare dependents, criminals or IT contractors (). In other words that every kid should receive a top education (in sport also) so that they dont have to rely upon the state for a living.

                  Do you really think education is a cure for the feqless fuqwit?
