Dodgy's Political manifesto

[DodgyAgent]

That's the way I read it too, though Dodgy may have been referring to the vacancies that recruitment agencies advertise, rather than recruitment agency vacancies.

I was referring to the recruitment consultants themselves

Simplify tax?

Dead simple.

Don't tax earning, tax spending!

Interesting call...

But wouldn't that encourage people to buy abroad?

[Bagpuss]

Get rid totally. Education could be done better on-line for peanuts.

Good idea we could do with a few more autistic kids with no social skills

Quite

Oi! Who needs social skills anyway, unless you aspire to be a recruitment agent?

As for autism, I doubt that would be acquired through lack of physically going to school. School isn’t about learning; it’s for getting rid of the kids during the day.

Mostly Agree

4. Defence, yep we'll have some shiny new kit, and cumpulsory national service or social service for all for one year.

Not sure about the national service bit. Maybe spending on military shoudl increase but conscription?

Not everybody is suited for the military environment and huge damage can be done to individuals in this environment if they are physically or mentally not equipped to cope with military life.

Conscription is oft touted as the ultimate solution for young men coming from socially dysfunctional backgrounds.

Do you really want to take someone who is from a dysfunctional background, teach them hand to hand combat, give them weapons training, contacts to access military materials etc etc.

IME someone who is delinquent and dysfunctional will come out of military service more so or at best, having the potential to cause a lot more damage than when they went in.

maybe the delinquent and dysfunctional should serve longer terms.
