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'm sorry to hear this - there is too much of this around. Your son did the right thing to let go of his possessions - I hope he's not too shaken up and certainly not taking it personally, or thinking he should have done something vigilante style like fighting back. We live very close by and are usually out in the evenings with the dogs - hardly ever see anyone so will take extra care from now on.  
    • Really sorry to hear this. I hope he's OK and not too shaken.
    • My goodness, that is a shocking lack of care shown by the Council and individual Councillors. I had thought Cllr Hamvas would fight to preserve and protect Peckham Rye and the park environment. How can we now possibly trust this Council to do this? Cllr Rose, who was the Cabinet Member in charge of all this has a lot to answer for.
    • A reminder that this is the post-festival litter I collected a week or so after the Council had signed off Gala's litter picking activity and reopened the park to the public. For clarity this was a result of just wandering around the stage, tent & toilet areas in the south of the site for about an hour. Not difficult to see, far from a focused, professional 'pick', and not comprehensive - there will have been loads more spread over the rest of the site, which is probably still there now. Apart from being unpleasant, there's a safety aspect here - kids & dogs picking up bits of glitter balls, shards of plastic cups, baggies containing white powder?? I collected a similar amount the previous year.  I contacted Charlie Simm (Events Team) for her reaction (cc'd Renata Hamvas & Victoria Mills, Peckham Rye councillors) and received no response. When VM thankfully followed up as to all why the litter picking wasn't satisfactory, and what actions were planned to remedy this, CS just escalated it as an official complaint. This complaint was dismissed a few months later with the comment that, apart from the cable ties, there was no proof that the litter had come from the festival. RH has remained silent throughout all my correspondence. I've considered doing a comprehensive litter survey before & after the event to categorically guage the impact of the festival, using metre squares and approved methodology, maybe even inviting relevant students as a project, but I feel whatever the results, they would just be ignored by the council - completely pointless.
