The UK economy is in a huge hole and that hole is getting deeper every
day that the government continues to print money. The problem was
caused buy excessive debt - government, banking and private sector
debt. Taking on more debt is NOT the way out of this mess.
Something has to be done in the forthcoming budget to rebalance the
books by cutting govt spending, cutting back the welfare state whilst
promoting savings. It is also essential to reduce welfare dependency
and make people get out to work- rather than have immigrants do the
work for us.
The prognosis is pretty $h1tty irrespective of what is done but
something MUST be done.
Do nothing now and we will have hyper-inflation later giving rise to
huge wage demands, strikes and chaos etc.
Remember the 70's ? It will be a repeat but worse.
Here’s a few ideas that should be considered.
1. Substitute food stamps for 50% of all cash benefits.
2. Stop all benefits for those with more than 2+ convictions for
serious crime.
2. Hike VAT to 20% immediately.
3. Abolish interest tax relief on domestic BTL property
4. 10% annual tax on all pension pots in excess of £2M.
5. Stop BBC subsidy & privatise it or close it down.
6. Limit child benefit to 2 kids only.
7. Cut legal aid budget by 80% .
8. Limit legal aid to 2 cases (where guilty) per individual’s
lifetime.
9. Review each disability claimant’s case.
10. Limit MPs expenses to £5000 pa.
11. Tax Sky TV subscriptions by 50%.
12. Cut final salary pension base for civil servants.
13. Increase minimum retirement age for all civil servants to 67.
14. Get rid of the IPCC and a whole bunch of other similar non-
productive quangos .
15. Tax levy of 200% on all adverts for gambling, compensation lawyers
& debt management cos.
16. Treble rates for gaming premises.
17. Re-instate dividend tax relief to pension funds.
18. Sack all special consultants hired by N0.10 who effectively work
for the labour party work but are paid by govt.
19. Hike council rates by 500% for premises involved in gambling, lap-
dancing etc
Can you add any more?
Issue everyone with smart black uniforms with a broken cross on the sleeve.
Just one amendment. Cancel No 19, whatever were you thinking of!
