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 just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.
