Get rid of 50% of Public Sector non-frontline 'management' positions

Dispense with this horrid notion of a 50% tax rate.

1. Privatise the Royal family. End there subsidy and reclaim our state buildings to develop for tourism/enterprise.

Beware of what you ask for. The Royal Family might ask for the return of the Crown Estates and their related income. 250 years ago the King agreed with the Government to hand over the Crown Estate. The estate would be managed on behalf of the Government, surplus revenue would go to the Treasury - the King received in return a fixed annual payment - the Civil List. I understand the difference between the Civil List income for the Treasury and the Civil List paid out by the Treasury is massively to the advantage of the Treasury.

And BTW - try my thread NHS Bureaucracy versus NHS Cuts for suggestions there.

Bulldoze Camberwell and turn it into a giantpark and ride,this would help raise enough revenue to avoid any other cuts

[matthew123]

Impose prohibitive taxes on all food products and soft drinks that contains unhealthy ingrediants - this should hopefully direct us towards a healthier population to thus ease NHS budgets.

Bulldoze Camberwell?

Would it be OK if we kept the bit south of Peckham Rd? Or at least south of Denmark Hill station?

Reindustrialise, eliminate benefits and triple the minimum wage.

What's going-on with Bob Crowe and his green t-shirt?

Either he's been wearing the same green t-shirt for the last four days, or he only ever wears green t-shirts - perhaps to remove unnecessary sartorial decision-making in order to concentrate on the important matters of the day (making placards, stopping people from getting to work, saying 'no')

No Viagara on the NHS.

I suppose that's to stop us being screwed by the public sector?
