      One spends £1000 on a licence, and then has free reign to kill them. The grey ones are just like rats, only cute...

          Tax s3x. This will reduce copulation and hence the birth rate will fall. This will reduce the strain on public services and infrastructure, therefore saving further public finances. Inflation will also fall as the lower population number spends less on both essentials and luxuries. Inflation falling gives BoE the opportunity to drop interest rates to increase liquidity in our economic system. The end purpose to this will be that house prices go up.

          It always comes back to the house prices.

            Homeland Security Tax : To help pay for the rising costs of anti-terrorism.

            Data Security Systems Tax : To ensure there is money for a more secure, Government controlled and administered multi-departmental IT System.

            Interweb Tax : A "Page for a Penny" tax

            Superfluous Tax : A tax on unnecessary resources. Broken down in to several groups.
            >Exotic Pets : Clearly, these are not necessary and surplus to requirments. 1K
            >Domestic Pets : Also, not necessary though more common. £500
            >Children : Ok, so technically needed for continuation of the species, however it should be a privilege to have children, not a right. £50
            Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

              I'm fairly certain (but cba to check) that grey sql's are classified as vermin, so you don't need a license to sympathetically control their numbers.

                Novel idea...you mean people should only have kids when they can afford to feed and keep them and not rely on benefits?

                  good point, I think cards should be issued to everyone who is of child bearing age. The cards would be read just prior to bonking and would have text like

                  'Do you really need this bonk ? Can you afford any more kids ? If you get a bun in the oven will you bring the sprog up on benefits ?
