I wish he'd ban tracksuit selling. Imagine how much stick those poor athletes will get in 2012 when we've replaced fox hunting with chav hunting.

Once the current crises sorts itself out I will like to see :-
1. mortgages of more than 90% made illegal - to fall by 1% a year until 75%reached
2. mortgage payments targeted as part of inflation that BofE have to monitor(as seperate to house prices/loan outstanding).
