Thoughts from England...

[Bubbleboy]

Dear Mr. Cameron,

 

Please find below our suggestion for fixing England '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 Sensible 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 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 scheme

 

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!

 

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back

 

their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances

 

Also………..

 

Let's put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in a nursing home.

 

This way the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies and walks.

 

They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical

 

treatment, wheel chairs etc and they'd receive money instead of paying

 

it out.

 

They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped

 

instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance.

 

Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed

 

and returned to them.

 

A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and 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

 

counselling, pool and education.

 

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

 

request.

 

Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with

 

gardens.

 

Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls.

 

There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards

 

would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to.

 

 

The criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised.

 

Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and

 

pay £600.00 per week and have no 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 in Appleby

 

almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the

 

county of Cumbria?

 

And, they even tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable

 

to locate 125,000 illegal immigrants wandering around our country.

 

Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

THE BRITISH CONSTITUTION They keep talking about drafting a

 

Constitution for Iraq ... Why don't we just give them ours?

 

It was drawn up by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for

 

centuries and we're not using it anymore.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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.
