In an amusing article regarding a part of the hell facing Britian this winter fuel poverty and oil companies are an interesting topic.
BRING BACK THATCHER!!!
O.k. while she started the whole thing off with privatising everything, the iron lady would have put her foot well and truly down with a firm iron hand and would have had this nipped in the bud months/years ago. Oh, and if it was all her fault, then why has 12 years of labour government failed to address the issue.
First off, I’d ban the national lottery. Having never won myself, I think that if you have a few quid a week to play 44 million to 1 odds, then either you should be committed and any assets you have shared with the people, or shut the fuck up and put that money toward a jumper.
Next un-privatise the key industries in the UK – power, transport and Sky TV. If these are basic human rights, then they should be run by the government.
Finally sack 78.4% (some random statistic I just invented) of the employees of local council and make all the MP’s work cuz they love it. They get a huge holiday over summer, get paid shed loads of money and just seem to seriously annoy everyone they are supposed to represent. You could put in a bonus incentive where the constituency get to decide how much their MP gets paid, that’d make them work for the people and not for a peerage.
