How about everyone being recognised for their criminality as well?

1) Reduce UK's exposure to banks


2) Rather than privatising public sector turn them into co-operatives


3) Invest more in the creativity industries


4) Give NHS freedom from political meddling


5) Give bonuses for success in export markets


6) Reduce taxation levels for the lower to middle incomes as these people are likely to spend more in this country unlike the rich 1% where they would spend elsewhere


7) Better planning policies to incorporate better timeless designs and longevity


8) More financial education.


9) Limitations on banking, CBI, etc lobbying


10) Increasing lobbying representatives for communities and marginalised groups


11) A fairer and open press that doesn't represent the views of a decrepit Aussie


12) Giving Unions the same powers given to Danish Unions


13) Better thought out transport policies that fitsahead of its time


14) Link success of industries to hollistic targets

Now lots of those are very good ideas (except number 4, it would be a bloody disaster), but can you honestly see ANY government being able to pull that off?


If you released that as your election manifesto, lots of people would applaud it, and you'd win the votes of many many students, but real people in real jobs, whatever class they belong to, wouldn't be able to vote for you, because of real life.


But redistributing wealth is a noble cause.

If it was a copy and paste job then you should be able to google the source. Good luck to finding it because the source came from me.


Edited to add: I'm going out so see you all tomorrow for more kick ass action from UDT.

I did a search on 'Danish' and can't find your comment UDT?


Re. Your comments...


'Reducing exposure to banks' as point 1 - that was my question, yeah how?


Public Sector is already cooperative, you daft wally.


Investing more in creative is an odd policy commitment, how much more and what do you think the return will be? It's esoteric, hardly working man stuff.


NHS freedom is supposed to do what? Increase expenditure? Decrease? How does that solve banking crisis?


Bonuses already exist for exports. Do you want government to pay them now?


Reduce taxation? *yawn* doesn't everyone?


Better planing designs? WTF? Is this anything to do with anything?


And so on.....

Dishonest tactics like facts and evidence. Hmmm, I can understand why you find those challenging UDT.

    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here. 
    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
