    We need a terminator and the means to send it back to 50's Glasgow... Do you think a T-800 would be tough enough for 50's Glasgow or should we send a T-1000 to be sure?

    Legalise Cannabis.

    Tax revenue up,
    Tourists up,
    Enforcement costs down,
    New related industries setting up in the UK...

    .......and we wouldn't really care too much about economic woes because we'd all be feeling groovy.......

    That should cover the overspend for about half an hour.

    Move somewhere with a more stable and prosperous economy and a better climate.

    Any contracts in Greece?

    What dire economic situation would that be?

    The one where everyone is getting wealthy owning a home again whilst unemployment falls and the economy grows 0.1% whilst at the same time public services improve constantly and our future is assured by the arrival of another 20,000,000 immigrants to help us in our dotage?
