The outlawing of tar brushes would only drive the users underground & create a 'black' market for them, rather than banning them encourage the users by offering tax relief on feathers and get them to concentrate their attention on the people that show an interest in the following:-

Common Sense II


1) Seperate the election of the executive from that of the legislature, i.e. we elect a Tony Blair/Labour cabinet team or a Michael Howard/Tory cabinet team seperate from the election of our MPs; then ensure that every cabinet minister, from PM downwards answers to Parkiament at least once a week.

2) Introduce maximum terms of office for both the legislature and the executive (so an MP can stand for no more than 2 terms or 10 years), so at least we get a chance to see different slime balls.

3) Reintroduce Crown immunity into the NHS for all elective clinical procedures, so that we don't have an outstanding £8billion debt burden taking funds sway from much-needed services. All medical treatments and procedures involve risk so people should insure privately, rather than sue the state if something goes wrong on what they get for free.

4) Extend the provisions of the 2005 Terrorism Act to the IRA, the Animal Rights mob, and all the other scumbags currently involved in "direct action" political protest.

Re: The Common Sense Party
 

Perhaps it would be interesting to invite our candidates to comment on this thread. I think I'll drop them an email tomorrow.. I'd like to know which ideas they think are viable and why their party is not pushing for them.

That would sort the men from the boys Entwisi......it would make interesting reading if nothing else.

Re: The Common Sense Party
 

I have to disagree with you on this one as well, A-b.

Nearly 2 years ago I had a pedestrian run out in front of me while I was riding my motorbike. I hit her and came off my bike - I was travelling at about 20-25 mph.

Not only did I have to pay the excess to get the bike repaired to a similar state that it was before the accident, but I also lost my no claims bonus, and the accident was classed as my fault, as I hit a pedestrian, despite statements from two witnesses who said that there was no way I could have avoided her.

Oh, and my insurance premiums more than doubled too.

So a moment of brain-fade (if she had one) has cost me in the region of £2,000.

Did I forget to mention that I had to replace my crash helmet as well?

Re: The Common Sense Party
 

My manifesto

1) Revoke all taxes other than Income Tax. No Road Fund Licence, fuel duty, Council Tax, VAT etc., with realistic taxation levels on higher earners, to compensate

2) Raise the tax threshold to £10K a year

3) Reintroduce compulsory National Service in the style of the 1950s, for all 18 year olds, male and female

4) Reintroduce tough discipline in schools

5) Remove all "Rights" from burglars, vandals etc., except the right to be physically "restrained" if apprehended

6) Liquidate all law firms who advertise on Daytime TV regarding compensation claims

7) Ban all advertising of goods on a "buy now, pay nothing until 2006" basis

8) Imprison anyone over the age of 12 who wears a baseball cap, unless they are a US 5* General or a baseball player

9) Surgically remove mobile phones from the ears of pedestrians

You could be right I've seen this guy a few times in the Stag and I don't think he's from around here.

Re: The Common Sense Party
 

What a pity none of the main political parties would even think of some of the ideas in this thread never mind putting them in their manifesto. They are far too unpolitically correct for them to consider so have a look at some of them smaller parties or even start your own.

Re: The Common Sense Party
 

If you catch a person damaging or grafittying your property you should be allowed to go and do the same back to theirs (or their parents) that might make some parents discipline their kids a bit more.

If you find a burglar in your house you should be allowed to protect your property with reasonable force.

Make schools go back to proper teaching methods - learning multiplication tables, grammar, and spelling.

Stop holiday companies from bumping up the prices during school holidays.

Stop the clocks from jumping backwards and forwards in spring and autumn - what good does that do anyone?

Ban white vans and big lorries from the roads during 8am to 9am and 5pm to 6pm.

Re: The Common Sense Party
 

No, make sure that parents walk their children to school or see them safely onto the bus, the little dears don't need to be driven everywhere by their parents. Or am I just mis-reading your thoughts and you are thinking only of ease of traffic for the poor office worker?

Re: The Common Sense Party
 

actualy i watched one of the top police people on trevor mcdonalds program a few weeks ago and basicly he gave the ok to smash the burgulars skull in even if he isnt armed

they showed 3 cinarios where a knife , a golf club and another item were used and other varying aspects were used like attacking from behind , the front

basicly each time the burgular was killed and the top police cheif or whatever his name was said the homeowner acted lawfuly and would have to make a statement but would not be charged

regardless to say if i ever find anyone in my home they will be beaten and if they die then tough crap they shouldnthave been in my home

i see anyoneone in my home who is not invited as a threat to my family and their safety and i will react appropiatly
