If I were Prime Minister....

It's not possible to explain this properly in a short paragraph without coming across as rather right wing, but it would be a case of turning things around so that people are not afraid to tackle issues in fear of being branded racists or bullys.

Rather right wing?

You're advocating forced labour and physical assault on minors and a return to the days when you could abuse and discriminate on the basis of someone's colour, religion or sexuality at your leisure and you think that's only 'rather' right wing.

Please don't tell us your views on Jews and Gypsies.

14. better education in England so that people know that there is no such thing as "British Law"

Perhaps he meant British Laws.

Of course!

No more self service at the pump either. We'll be back to attended service with a free windscreen wash and magic tree with every fill up (paid for by the reduction in fuel duty).

And then I'm going to get petrol for my mower, chainsaw and strimmer how exactly?

7. People must get a permit to have children and can only do so once married and with sufficient funds to afford to bring them up and the number allowed will be based on affordability.

We need people to have lots of children so they can grow up and pay for the rest of us in our old age, thus solving the pensions crisis once and for all.

We over-corrected

Do it in a car and you spin out of control

Wait for the crash

As stated - without writing a book about it, it always gets taken out of context and misinterpreted.

Your reply kind of proves my point.

p.s. do you have something against Jews and Gypsies?? ?

OK, got your cynical pants on today?

Realistic, I prefer. Whilst I realise that not many of the policies being advocated on here are very serious, people have clearly not given even the most cursory thought to the practicalities.

I also feel I owe a debt to my late Dad who did National Service (including getting a small promotion in his two years) and bitterly resented it. He also pointed out that for the boys who couldn't take the bullying and harsh regime, it was the end, as they killed themselves. Not really the kind of thing I want to pay my taxes towards, thanks.

As for it being a bit of time at the old folks' home - plently of good kids do this already - do you seriously think making it compulsory and trying to force the chavvy scum ones to do it is a realistic option? Actually I'm surprised Nu Labour hasn't introduced it because like most of their ideas, it punishes the majority of decent people for the sins of a few.

1. Make it legal to stab Cherie Blair (Saw her face on a book in Tesco today and just wanted to grab a knife from the kitchen section and set to work on it)
2. Lock Tony Blair and all the toadies who rallied round him and made up dodgy dossiers for war crimes against Iraq, move them to the Hague and make sure they pay for what they did.
3. Streamline the tax system and get rid of tax credits sacking 90% of the pointless civil servants currently employed to save money.
4. Stop taking the piss out of the driver, no more congestion charges, fuel taxed sensibly, road tax set sensibly, proper investment into the transport infrastructure of this country.
5. Bring back proper family values and pride for our country. Single mums are not to be celebrated (I have nothing in particular against single mums, but it shouldn't be seen as a cool way of life to aspire towards), you can't have fertility treatment unless you have been married for at least 4 years, if you live here you support the country you moved to, not the one you came from. You learn our language and laws and live with them. If you don't like them you bugger off to somewhere else that provides the laws and environment that you do like.

I'm sure I could think of lots more but 5 will do for now as that is what was originally asked for.

Feel free to put it in context then. I'm wondering how I took physically assaulting children out of context.
