    On a point by point bases do you agree or disagree?

    If you disagree with my groupings tough, but:

    On a point-by-point bases do you agree or disagree?

    The right wing points:
    • If we must stop immigration, should we put a quota on the amount that can get into the UK?
    • Should we enforce this quota, with a hard entry point system like the Ozzies do?
    • More prisons should be built, instead of more costly IT systems?
    • Community support officers are doing poor police work on the cheap?
    • Postal voting is open to massive amounts of blatant fraud (and used in exactly that way) and should be banned?


    The centre points:
    • The government only wants ID cards to use it as a weapon to try and control any dissenters (peaceful or otherwise)?
    • Equal pay can only be solved by opening up the books so; everyone knows how much less women get paid?
    • We should pull out of Iraq at the least?
    • The evil terrorists have archived their goal of forcing us to change our society for the worse?
    • The water companies are taking the piddle and should be regulated harder?


    The greened off points:
    • Renationalise the railways (saving the money from costly privatisation) and make them work properly so, that we can get more cars off the roads and as subsidised they would be cheap as well?
    • More PROPER light rail projects and less road projects?
    • Force the UN to apply sanctions to the USA until it signs up to the Kyoto agreement?
    • Make CEO's responsible for environmental disasters that kill people, with tougher manslaughter laws (incidentally Nu Liber wish to remove the pathetic existing ones)?
    • Do not ban the bomb, but store it away (thus the deterrent remains) so, at least some Christian fundamentalist idiot does not push the button because a Palestinian throws a rock over a 10-foot wall?


    The loony left points:
    • That immigration is being used as a big business tool to lower wages, with cheap imported labour, who then send their earnings out of the UK?
    • Minimum wage has NOT in fact decimated our economy, but actually improved it by allowing more money to flow around within it (as in trade)?
    • The pensions crises could be solved if less money was spent on PFI and more on industry growth to increase productivity by just 2%?
    • Bliars promise is not ours and we should pull out of Afghanistan as well as Iraq?
    • If IR35 must be kept, it should also apply to those big consultancies like Logica and EDS who helped to invent it (thus taxing big business, but making the little contractor competitive again and screwing the big boys for a change)?

          Does not have to be an either ... or.

          We could have more prisons and train the inmates to run the government IT systems.

          That way when they are released they could find work related position with previous experience in the IT sector such as the Mafia.

          There is a big demand.

            The point people constantly miss about unlimited immigration is that it is perfectly fine if the economic demand is there. However, if the demand grows then so must the local resources with it. And it never does, ergo all the problems.

            Best thing to all your points is simply the removal of this current administration and all it's barking idealistic, quasi-socialist policies.
            If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

              You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                If there were less laws, less people would break them, and they'd be less need for prisons.

                An example I've given before: if the TV license was voluntary you'd reduce the womens prisons population substantially within a few years.

                There again I'm neither left nor right, maybe more up and down, a little forward and backwards, all at the same time.

                  Well, obviously that is not what they get imprisoned for, they get imprisoned for contempt or some other crime they performed to try and get the money. etc. etc. Failing to pay the TV license is, I believe, the tipping point that leads to prison for many women.

                    Terrorists archive their goal?

                    You'd think with all the laws on preserving competition, the licence fee itself would be illegal. Put the BBC in jail.
                    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
