Most of it makes sense and I imagine the frustration felt by him came out when he said for once perhaps police brutality should be allowed.

When the riots spread to Manchester and people would not travel to the city centre or I was afraid for the wife getting back to her car then believe me I would have been happy if they used rubber bullets to stop the rioters.

I believe in the death penalty. If any of my family are murdered. Apart from that no.
Although I am against policwe brutality, I would accept it against HMRC employees.

[woohoo]

He believes in police brutality as well:

I think that people get this mentality that even if I am not able to do something, I will sustain myself on the benefits. It's the easy availability I think that is the major problem. If you take the example of Norway, it is considered the best country in the world when it comes to income, quality of life, health, overall happiness, etc.
And why is that?
One of the contributors to Norway’s high quality of life is its commitment to generous public spending; Norway spends almost 10% of its GDP on healthcare, and this differs to many other countries as the vast majority of its spending is on public rather than private healthcare. The US, by comparison, spends nearly 17% of GDP on healthcare with around half on private costs. Even with current spending levels, Norway’s ageing demographic and commitment to high spending on public healthcare require economic planning for the future. For example, existing equipment in Norwegian hospitals requires upgrading urgently, at an estimated cost of $600million.

I hadn't read that one.
Is the plan to bring back corporal punishment, then update it to capital punishment?

Only for cyclists....

Why confine this to homo sapiens? Why not have every animal of every species pass such a test?

Animals have their own ways to make sure there is continuation of species. They've done it for longer than us and are still here (despite us screwing eveything up as usual)

The last I heard a green party member speak they wanted to encourage people to work in the fields, back to nature. We had this question a little while back and the industrial revolution won.

Indeed - in fact if we move back to this the green party are actually dooming the human race.

The sun will go red giant in the next 4.5 billion years if we have not found a suitable alternative to living somewhere but earth the human race will be wiped out then.

And that assumes we do not get wiped out by a big rock from space, our own stupidity or galactic alien lizards who find human meat a delicacy..prior to that.

Sorry, I wasn't around when the Industrial Revolution started. Was that when we had all the smog?

That and the 1950s.

Personally I quite like the green party proposal of cutting the UK population down to 40million by education - what they believe is the environmentally sustainable population.

Financially better off as individuals, yes, and better for the environment. The earth's resources are overstretched, and the current solution of cutting down trees/killing animals to allow humans to make more money is not in the best interests of the planet or its inhabitants.

No doubt if they actually got into power they would just do the same as every other government. With a green spin.

Benefit claimants/low IQ folks are the biggest tory voters. Can't say anything bad about your own electorate.

If you count a pension as being a benefit...

I think only people with a certain IQ and income level should be allowed to procreate. Thing is a lot of these people are smart enough to know they're better off without offsprings.

It generally does happen. Indeed with humans it used to be that way until about 100 years ago.

These days it seems to be survival of the fattest rather than survival of the fittest.....

Of course he has apologised.
