Don't really need the gov for that. Let the companies scrap it out. Eventually they'll sign a contract saying i'll have this wavelength and you'll have this wavelength. And if they deviate they can sue the other for breach of contract in the courts. -
I think you're getting a bit silly now.Originally posted by speling bee View PostBut what is your health economics analysis in terms of impact on national productivity?
What will you do with NHS hospitals. Give them away? Remember you can't sell them, because you've scrapped all other forms of state income. No more privatisations.Comment

Robby, how will you replace fines and fixed penalty notices? Remember, you just scrapped them as a form of state income.
What will the impact of this be on the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of the criminal justice system?The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.

Robby, why do you keep Council Tax but scrap Business Rates? Don't businesses benefit from local government services as well as individuals?The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.

Robby, if you want to retain road tax, will you introduce dog licences to ensure that the externalities caused by do ownership are paid for by dog owners? Or must land owners pay for these regardless of their dog ownership status?The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.
