Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostSeems ok, but aside from taxing multinationals "fairly", how will you pay for all this?
Btw, Switzerland reduced drug crime massively by providing free clean heroin to registered addicts, and a safe place to shoot up (offering drug counselling, rehab etc., but not making in compulsory). The economic cost of this is more than compensated by the drop in petty crimes. An unexpected side-effect is that since addicts live longer, younger people see the long-term effects of heroin, and the number of addicts has also fallen significantly - of course there may be additional factors causing this.
Therefore, I'd take point b) out. I wouldn't add a point, because a large proportion of the general public would wail and moan about giving free drugs to addicts - even though overall it benefits everyone.
Totally right I support shooting galleries and counselling. Conversely I would make jails drug free and being clean inside & out part of your parole conditions.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

what good is that going to do, where are those with poor credit going to live?
Best way to fix BTL is to make the returns less attractive by building more homes or have less people wanting them.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Its broad brush strokes as you couldn't manage anything more complicated, lets be serious "mind the gap" confuses you.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
