What the f**K???

100% inheritance tax, 100% rental income tax and no foreign ownership would be a start.

Sharia Law is more likely than any of those I'm afraid.

So is winning the lottery. Or finding a sasguru intelligent comment.

On the subject of "banning foreigners from owning properties" there are two obstacles.

1. Legally, you can't stop EU citizens buying property.
2. Wealthy Chinese, Arabs, Russians can buy EU citizenship in Bulgaria for £150K (peanuts). Goto line 1.

Evil for its own sake. Depraved.

They (social workers) need more money. We need higher taxes, and less tax evasion. We need a more cohesive society, better youth engagement and direction.

Promoting and supporting the nuclear family might be a better way to work towards a cohesive society than employing ever larger armies of sociologists (?).

National service. That's what we need.

For 12 year old girls?

You can set a system that forces EU and British citizens to be resident in the country.

Some other EU countries with restrictions on who can buy property insist that you need x years of tax returns and a tax number.

So if you haven't lived in the country and paid taxes for those years regardless of whether you are a citizen by birth you aren't buying anything.

This helps to stop people laundering dirty money in that country's property market and they aren't discriminating against EU citizens.

Do you and Dim mind fooking off and posting this completely Off Topic conversation in the correct thread.

Sheesh.

It's being a while since Camoron talked about Big Society, have not heard a word recently and when he spoke about it was clear to me that what he really meant is that Govt will cut funding of local services and he expected people to raise up in Big Society and do those jobs for free as volunteers. Big Society...

That's cos he's has never lived in the real world and done volunteering.

He didn't realise that services like Meals on Wheels or taking the elderly/disabled shopping actually use mostly healthy retired volunteers. This means the biggest component of most social care, which is wages, is never paid for. The government, both central and local, just pays for things like transport and fuel.

Even children centres used volunteers to make up numbers as plenty of people who want to go into health and social professions need experience before doing so, and you can only do that by volunteering.

And let's not forget the criminal justice system - all magistrates are volunteers.

While all volunteers can get travel expenses, lots don't claim them.

Angela Wrightson: A chaotic life and brutal death - BBC News

That link should give more information about her life as an alcoholic, criminal and someone who lived life on the edge. Was sent to rehab on tax payers money several times but chose to drink using her benefits and constantly indulged in fights. She had it coming and in fact BBC makes it clear these things are common in the deprived areas and this case has only made headlines because she was murdered by teenage girls. Not long before even that becomes the norm.

You actually want extended families so when there is illness, disability, death or whatever people take up the challenge rather than expecting the state to look after their parent or other relation. In encouraging that you also get people looking after their neighbours.

Some of the kids who end up in foster care do so because there is no relation, neighbour or family friend to look after them due to their parent being ill or dead. Others you don't tend to hear about have escaped it simply because they have got this.
