1.) Stop the welfare and income support programs.

A.) If people were forced to work for their wage Britain's Economy would once again flourish and even the poorest families could expect to live charmed lives.

what about the lost tax revenue from the thousands of people who work in this department ? were will they work ?

A.) If people were forced to work for their wage Britain's Economy would once again flourish and even the poorest families could expect to live charmed lives.

B.) The money could be put to better uses such as providing a highest standards of Health and Dental care. Schools, Colleges and Universities could recive the much needed funding they have been crying out for. The number of Fire Fighters, Garbadge Disposal Workers and Policemen could be increased not only with the extra money provided but also the extra workforce in need of jobs.

sounds like a job for a ex welfare benefits officer

C.) With more people paying taxes the goverment could afford to indulge it's self by offer better pensions and free ellectricity/gas to the elderly during the winter seasons or possibly all year round. Free entertainment would likely become a major benefit to increased tax revenues.

this government indulges itself quite enough now thank you very much

D.) It is very likely that people who are not used to labor (back breaking, mentaly draining or otherwise) will fall into depression... Luckely their would be just enough money left over to supply the nation with antidepressants. . . I'm kidding :rolleyes:.

2.) Put a great deal of effort into finding and researching safe and renewable energy sources and then actually follow through with it.

A.) We would approach this not from the over used envirmentalist viewpoint (though they would be an important factor) but from a survivalists viewpoint.

B.) Petroleum and Coal are two of Britians main forms of energy. While Petrol is used to fuel Automobiles and Power Plants, Coal is used to heat homes and in ferwer cases to fuel powerplants. Many Gas companies also import their gas during the winter which is a costly process.

C.) Steadily increase power and fuel taxes to make businesses increase their own prices forceing the public to take the matter seriously. Leak information to the press about likely (though secretly fabricated) resource shortages to make people work harder towards the common goal.

oh dear , i think we aleady take it seriously 35%increase last year i believe

3.) Introduce free software download from goverment controled databanks.

already get free software from gov controlled databank ..the pirate bay ;)

A.) Software would include PC Games, Music Tracks, Movies and Information related. Though they would only be avaliable British Citizens.

:nutter:

B.) The majority of this software would be paid for by the government from the tax revenue, now that everyones working.

as above



C.) Since the process requires British Citizenship, people would have to travel to their nearest databank which would likely be held within Public Libraries and in the case of education software some schools, colleges ect.

D.) Having nonetworked databanks eliminates the posability of hacking and means that people would bring their own usb storage devices, eliminateing the elements of download traffic.

It is very likely that many crafters i.e. your plumbers, joiners, stone masons ect who are no longer as numerous as they once were will benefit from the increased workforce.

Also it would not take businesses long to see the workforce boom as a chance to branch out and make more money. That it's self would start a construction frenzy that offers new jobs to willing construction workers.

Ultimatly the Goverment can create more jobs if it knows people are going to fill but it shouldn't have to since it can count on greedy corporations and companies to cash in on the abundant workforce.
