Absolute power.
Looks like the Government parties are really pulling out the stops before the next election freezing petrol, fuel prices, giving tax relief to couples.

What laws would you implement and why. realistic or otherwise.

I wish they would curb the unnecessary rises in fuel and train prices
but that's privatisation for you.

Also, Labour saying they will abolish the bedroom tax just goes to show how it wasn't needed. They will tax your shit allowance if the see fit.

REVOLT!! UPRISING!!

Why do you think they're unnecessary?

(, Mon 30 Sep 2013, 15:49, Reply)
it can cost upwards of £400 to travel by train these days.
If it costs that much to run then perhaps we need to look at making it cheaper.

I dont understand the rise in fuels. Possibly going up because of a diminishing supply?

Its all fucking shit. I care mostly that in real terms i've had a pay cut, everything costs more and things like childcare go up when wages are frozen.
I would implement a law that stopped twats singling out people for a crimes they committed to try and get some vigilante justice. Ie. the Bulger killers, theres probably loads of kid murderers out there that people have forgotten because they weren't 10 fucking years old when they did it. I've already forgotten the name of the guy that killed April Jones.

I'm all for making the long term unemployed work at the job centre or doing training courses.
There are a lot of people out there plain refusing to do work and I dont think they should be rewarded.

I am pretty sure that people that refuse to work do get their benefits stopped under the current system

*Has anyone here got any 'spare' tax allowance that they could pass to a partner/spouse? No? Didn't think so. Anyhow, the whole thing's worth at most £200/year to a couple - that's less than £4/week. Yippee skip.
