        Notice how they are now known as just 'Unions'... they used to be 'Trade Unions' when they were first devised.

          Means test child benefit.
          Stop child benefit after 3rd child
          Stop disability benefit for those who cand easily find work
          Reduce VAT for Bars and Restraunts etc like they did in France
          Make signing on more difficult (eg have to sign on each day in the job centre to cut down on those working cash in hand)
          Reduce the use of expensive consultancies in government for roles which could easily be carried out in house
          Simplification of the tax system
          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!

                stop giving cash to lazy gits who can't be assed working

                no free flats for teenage mums (their parents look after them or they go on the street)

                legalise pot and tax it

                send the unemployed off to war - that always worked a treat in the past....

                  I'd also cut the fat.

                    And rub a bit of salt in so it goes nice and crispy?

                    Mmm. I might make roast pork tonight.
                    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                      What about cutting Bob Crow in half? Or into more pieces...

                      But then they might turn into more Bob Crows

                      Scratch that!
