If i were Prime Minister
Since there are so many political threads id like to see what you'd do as a whole to this country if you could..
I'd charge road tax for the cause of, making our roads better, not for how much our cars pollute, I'd stop donating so much money to other countries, or at least, massively cut the amounts. Charity starts at home and our home is Fvcked.
I'd make it a necessity that anyone wishing to come to england to live or work, must be able to speak a GOOD level of English, must not claim benefits for the first 5 years of being here, they must come and work, pay taxes like normal citizens. if they commit crime within the first 5 years, or become out of a job cannot find a new one and need money, its back home they go. After 5 years they would have been settled here enough to be living by the BRITISH way of life.
Oh, and Chris Moyles would not be on the radio ever again, nor TV, nor anywhere where he crosses my path
That's a small amount of what id do.
What would all you political thread starters, government haters, and general wingers do to change things?

Radical reform of welfare system.
Enforcement of sensible minimum wage.
It should never be possible to be better off by not working!! Welfare should be bare minimum until you can get back to work.
Caught cheating the benefit system? You can never claim another penny!
Ban child benefit - if you can't afford a kid don't have one!!
Change law to allow anyone to defend their property as they see fit.
Speed cameras and their enforcement to be dramtically reduced and money spent on real policing. Police to be given back powers taken away over the last 30 years. e.g. if someone is resisting arrest and they get a good kicking from the police then so be it.
Teachers empowered to teach and discipline pupils as they see fit.
Proper investment in all transport systems including roads.
Civil service to be radically reformed - run more like a real business rather than jobs for the boys
Money saved from welfare system etc. to be spent on education, NHS - but properly spent where needed not on admin and expensive offices etc.
Law and order to be toughened up - no more let offs due to all these poncy excuses etc. Prisoners to be made to pay for their prison stay by working while inside. If they have to work 12 hours days then so be it... don't do the crime!!
Oh and Alan Carr to be banned from my TV.
Shall I go on?

oooo, I would have to re-open the Tower of London.
A person convicted of stealing - 1 warning, then a finger removed for every other offense.
A person convicted of persistant domestic violence - tables turned on them. Lock them up with the following provisions; One day they might get fed, one day they might receive an iron bar across the face!
Rapist - Ball removed
Child rapist - everything removed!
For anti-social behavior, the government would be able to access their bank account and remove 50% of the fund available and distribute to the victims.
Somehow, I don't think I would get in!

Agree with the banning of child benefit but only for the second child onwards though.
Lags being made to work is a great one.
I would make it illegal to not have door number on your house.
It would be possible to opt out of the portion of N.I that pays for the NHS and provide private health care.
There would be no mandatory T.V license.
The laws that give unmarried mothers complete control of the children would be seriously looked at.
If petrol garages wished to keep their plot then they would have to invest in hydrogen fuel technology, and push this in through out the country.
I would then grant a 5 year exemption on road tax and other costs for anyone who invested in a hydrogen fuel cell car.
The death sentence would be reintroduced for murderers and child molesters where there was irrevocable proof of their crime.
This would not apply to people defending their homes, where the perp was killed, this would be applauded.
Squatters would be considered vermin, and the owners of the houses could deal with them with the usual methods for such creatures.
Just a few, I could keep going all day.

and Northern Ireland...
I would bring back the death penalty and sell the tv rights to the highest bidder
I would ban all of the last night "ring up and give a silly answer that has already been said 5 times and was wrong all 5 times" type shows and the roulette shows too
there are more but I'm too tired to remember them...
