Ding dong Blair is gone
Current mood:
satisfied
satisfiedFirst I'm going to list All of Tony Blairs great achievements
both of them
He removed Betting Tax and introduced 24 hour drinking.
The easiest thing in life is to find fault with something and we all know what his faults are I don't need to list them here but instead say what improvements could easily be made that help our country
1) removal of chemicals from cigs
2) Privatisation of the BBC, and give the shares to the people of Britain. The argument that the BBC needs the license fee to make quality programmes that wouldn't be made elsewhere is just rubbish, Look at any BBC schedule and you'll see its chasing ratings trying to compete with ITV. Lady Thatcher introduced measures forcing the BBC to Broadcast material from outside producers. Look at many of your favourite shows and you'll see that their actually made by private production companies like Hat Trick productions. Hat trick was set up by 3 friends in a cramped office north of Oxford Street in London in 1986, its responsible for 'Have I got news for you', 'Room 101' and 'Father Ted' etc. Baby Cow productions is responsible for 'Ideal' 'The Mighty Boosh' etc. if the Beeb didn't buy their stuff it would be sold to other channels. After the Andrew Gilligan affair which resulted in the BBC Director general being sacked for standing by the journalist who claimed that Blair had sexed up the case for war, the BBC can have no claim to be independent they rely on the government for the licence fee and therefore do whatever the government say. A privatised BBC could become a real world leader in the media world, challenging Rupert Murdochs sky.
3) Tuition Fees, unannounced in any manifesto the government did away with grants for students and replaced them with loans, How about a system which rewarded excellence by re-inbursing tuition fee's dependant on your grade, the CBI could tell the government which degrees industry and the economy needed and students doing these degrees would get their maintenance loan paid for students doing other nonessential degrees would pay their maintenance loan, then with all courses If you get a first class degree you get your tuition fees back in full a 2/1 you get 3 quarters, a 2/2 half, a third class a quarter and if you fail get nothing back. I'd also do this for GSCE's it costs quite a bit of money to put pupils through exams, this money could be re-imbursed to the student on them leaving, further education, buying a car, deposit for a flat, equipment to start a business or what ever they wished. Again the amount of money would be dependant on the grades. People getting a 'A' would get the whole cost of that exam given back to them, this would decrease down the grades.
4) Education vouchers, Blairs proud of saying how much money he's poured into the education system, yet higher numbers than ever are choosing to go to private school. Comprehensive schools are a disaster, and faith schools will be an even worse disaster. Schools should be able to choose their pupils by academic excellence, but not religion, this would allow bright children from whatever background to be educated along side people of a similiar ability, the comprehensive system idea of putting thick people in with intelligent people thinking it will make the thick people brighter is as stupid as the idea of putting me in a class with mozart and expecting his genius to rub off on me, it isn't going to happen. Though I was happy to go to a shit school because the atmosphere was much slacker than other stricter schools. If the money that was spent on each pupil was given to the parents in voucher form they could decide to spend that voucher at the state school, or top up that voucher and go private. The same idea could be applied to the Health service, were people have chosen to take out private health insurance they should receive a tax break, this tax break would be 4 pence off income tax for those in the basic 20 pence bracket and 2 pence of for people in the 40p bracket and nothing off for those in the 50p bracket as you've taken yourself out of the public health system you should receive some of your money back this would allow many more people to be able to afford private health care and take theburden off the NHS.
5) Legalisation of most drugs, except the most harmful destructive shit like crystal meth.
Cocaine, Opium, cannabis ecstasy etc. could all be made available in chemists and post offices, to prevent problems you could only purchase a legally safe amount of each drug each week and you would have to give the chemist you national insurance number and you would only be entitled to the drugs if you paid income tax. The drugs could be taxed just like tobacco and alcohol. I would also legalise and tax prostitution, making one of the worlds oldest proffessions illegal is futile and fuels human sex slave trafficking, pimping and diseases 6) Pull out of the E.U. At an inquest into Myra Hindleys death, it was revealed that she had asked doctors not to resuscitate her if she stopped breathing. Ironically, Myra Hindley would have been freed under an E.U. Law Lords ruling that came two weeks later, which would have embarrassed the government and outraged the public had it come to fruition. Ask yourself I've Myra was happy to die then why did she launch a series of legal challenges to win her freedom. She was allowed to die so the government could escape the embarrassment of her being freed by the E.U. court of human rights.
Maggie Thatcher in her final book 'statecraft' puts forward the case for leaving the E.U. not every country in Europe is a member, switzerland, Iceland and Norway aren't in the E.U. so why can't we set up a free trade agreement with the E.U. and leave it at that. Four out of five of our laws now come direct from the E.U. EU regulations impose extra costs on every business in the country – including those that never export and those that export only to non-EU markets. The argument that the E.U. has prevented war in Europe is rubbish as the debacle in yuguslavia proved. Only Britain and the U.S. showed the political will to stand up to Slobodan Milosevic. Whats prevented a major war in Europe is nuclear weapons, namely that Britain and France have them and Germany don't, because there not allowed them because there very naughty, and mustn't ever be allowed to play with them for the good of the world.
In 2003 the UK gave £12 billion to the EU
(Gross Contribution). The EU handed back to the UK £7.5 billion of its money as rebate and EU grants. So in 2003 the UK gave the EU £4.5 billion, to put this in context The Iraq war and its aftermath has cost the UK almost £3.1 billion
As Churchill said "We have our own dream and our own task. We are with Europe, but not of it. We are linked but not combined. We are interested and associated but not absorbed".
