Stage 1: Cut the costly dead weight out of Britain.

o Civil servants and their gold standard pensions and perks have to go. They only work 4 days a week by anyone else’s standard so fire 20% and make the remainder work 5 full days a week. Close all meaningless quangos and government departments.

o Nick Clegg is a classic example of how ‘Eurocrats’ can live it up at tax payers expense whilst the Bank of England’s Mervyn King must be working out what to do with his £6.5 million pension pot kindly paid for by the private sector tax payer.

o Judges, MPs, and all civil servants, have to have the same pension rules applied to them as the private sector worker. Civil servants also have to contribute to their retirement costs for a change, to reduce the state sector pension time bomb.

o Cut benefit hangers on. Those that have never worked should be forced into community schemes to improve the areas they live in; if they refuse then the benefits should go.

o Immigrants should be let in on a meritocratic basis; if they’re educated or wealthy then let them in. This is what the rest of the world does.

Stage 2: Sort out the finances

o Women for some sexist reason can draw the state pension earlier than men yet they live longer. The retirement age has to be aligned and put back to reflect the ageing population. Britain should wake up to the fact the 65 year olds may want to work part time even if teenagers do not.

o The function of the NHS has to be redefined. Fire all the over paid, part time, number crunchers, and focus resources on front line services. Keep A&E departments and examine the rest. Why should all tax payers pay for fertility treatment, sex change operations, and cosmetic procedures, for the few? The best hospitals like Great Ormond Street rely on donations from the public.

o Higher rate tax payers should have to buy into the NHS services or go privately.

o The ill informed attempts to buy the votes of the benefit classes by Gordon Brown by adding a special tax band should be reversed. The 100’s of wealthy that have left the country already have cost more in lost revenue than Darling expected to make. What a farce. Encourage the monied classes to return and build businesses here; sadly it may already be too late.

o Increase VAT and force suppliers to charge the Brits the same as they do the Americans. We’ve been ripped off for years, Cars, electronics, clothes, music etc.

o Decrease the size, and improve the resources of the armed forces.

Stage 3: Sort out other time bombs

o Get off the green band wagon and build nuclear power stations. Only the dumb don’t get it. Our children will be dependant on the Russians for energy if we don’t.

o Redefine the school system. Labour clearly have an agenda to window dress the schooling system as clearly exams are getting easier and grades higher. Universities and employers should be the judge of this inferior system.

o Set up a politically independent economic unit consisting of financial experts to build economic policy based on multi-decade time horizons
