Letter to Mr Cameron to get the country out of the brown stuff

[ronttuk]

Mr. Cameron

 

Please find below our suggestion for fixing Britain ’s economy.

Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them £1 million each severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire - ten million job openings - unemployment fixed

2) They MUST buy a new British car. Ten million cars ordered - car Industry fixed

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - housing crisis fixed

4) They MUST send their kids/grandkids to school/college/university - Crime rate fixed

5) They MUST buy £100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week.....and there's your money back in duty/tax etc

6) Instead of stuffing around with the carbon emissions trading schemes that makes us pay for the major polluters, tell the greedy bastards to reduce their pollution emissions by 75% within 5 years or we shut them down.

It can't get any easier than that!

And if more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances

If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know.

If not, please disregard.

Other points you might consider:

Put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in a nursing home, then the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies and walks. They'd also receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc. They’d have constant video monitoring so if assistance was needed they’d have immediate help. Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be washed and ironed as needed. There would be a guard to check on them every 20 minutes and staff to bring their meals and snacks to their cell.

They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.

They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counseling, pool and education.

Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ's and legal aid would be free, on request.

There would be private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens for anyone who felt the need to exercise.

Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls and there would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and all guards would have a code of conduct that would have to be strictly adhered to.

The criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised day and night. Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week; live in a tiny room and pay £600.00 per week without any hope of ever getting out.

Think about this (more points of contention):

******

COWS

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that, during the mad cow epidemic, our government could track a single cow, born almost three years ago in Appleby, right to the stall where she slept in the county of Cumbria ? And, they even tracked her calves to their individual stalls.. But they are unable to locate 125,000 illegal immigrants wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each illegal immigrant a cow.

******

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse or Parliament, is this -

You cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal', 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians..... It creates a hostile work environment.

******

Also;

Think about this ... If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone -- YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM! It is time for us grumpy old folk of Britain to speak up!

Here, Here!

[TubbyTwo]

Then eat the Homeless and those on Benifits, another 2 problems solved.

It would be better to just kill off persistant criminals. Waste of space. That could save freakin' loads.

[Max Headroom]

As someone who is over 50 in the workforce, I wouldnt say no to £1 million. It just wouldnt last that long on my hobbies, slow cars and fast women or is it slow women and fast cars. Either way its trouble.

[supra joe]

I'm voting for you next !

[Guest wantthatone]

excellent!

[The Raven]

Seen this before only it was posted about the yanks.

 

I happen to agree with it non the less.

[t-one234]

well said that man

 

however,

 

youve ignored the fact our stupid government are wasting 30million a WEEK in Libiya

 

plus giving all that 10 billion to Ireland and then sending however many millions to Brussells

 

CHARITY STARTS AT HOME

[RedM]

I don't have kids, won't have kids and won't pay money to the tobacco companies for fucking with my health.

 

I'm voting for the other guy.

5) They MUST buy £100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week.....and there's your money back in duty/tax etc

 

should probably ban that in order to solve a lot of social issues.

[stu861]

you have my vote!!!!!

[ozz]

Its an interesting idea, but when you start to think it through its full of holes? I mean, is £1million that much when you're 50 if you're not gonna get another penny til your 65? If you made it tax free on the payment and ensuing interest then possibly. But buying house, bills, car etc will eat a good chunk and how would you better yourself once you hit 50 if you can't get another job. You'll either get people hoarding, or as with the trend of the country, spending like tomorrow doens't exist.

 

Also, I wouldn't mind betting, give 50yr olds 1 million pounds and the majority would leave the UK. furthermore, treating alcohol and tobacco related incidents/illnesses I believe costs the NHS a fortune.

 

Threaten to shut down 'major polluters' will cause industry to leave UK, therefore reducing jobs/tax. I read somewhere PCs are a bigger contributer than the airlines for CO2 emissions, so you give 1million to 50yr olds they are going to buy PCs and sit round watching p0rn all day, more emissions issues (though possibly good news for tissue companies).

 

So I vote, nice idea at first, but no.

Think about it: the average house costs about £250,000. Worst case scenario is that each new 50+ retirer owes 100% of this. Investing the remaining £750,000 at 3% gives an annual income of £22,500, which is also around the national average. It actually makes a lot of sense.

Yes but how many people would have the discipline not to touch the remaining 750k? No. The majority would want to make the most of it, 50 is no age to just sit back in the garden for 22k a year. Plus there is the loss of tax from 50 year old for 15 years. And my point about people leaving the UK - I know I'd leave if someone gave me £1mil free, I'd bank it and go work in another country.

But then they would put the council tax up to £749,999 and then tax you 25% of the remainder.

I'd happily leave the country with half a million.

[CJ]

.... 50 is no age to just sit back in the garden for 22k a year.

 

Come back and talk to me when you reach 50 and I am pretty sure you will be singing a different tune then.
