Budget Idea

Budget Alternative

Dear Mr. Darling,

Please find below suggestion for fixing Britain's economy.

Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.

You can call it the

Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 20 million people over 50 in the work force. - Pay them £1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Twenty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new British CAR. Twenty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.

4) They must send their kids to school / college /university - Crime rate fixed

5) Buy £50 of alcohol / tobacco a week there's your money back in duty / tax etc

It can't get any easier than that!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances

I think this would work.

Thumbs Up!

Not to be too un-gallant Ms Zoom, were there to be a queue to be formed I'm afraid I would be inclined to try and push past you for that particular piece of salvation Grin

Have I fallen to avarice Undecided

I do hope not - perhaps it's more benifical to be happy and relatively healthy Undecided

than wealthy Undecided

Perhaps you are correct Zulu -- but in the interests of scientific protocol the hypothesis promulgated by Iggy should be thoroughly tested --- to put it simply ... I'M IN

Youth, Martin does have some advantages - like not having to get up in the middle of the night to visit the facilities Grin

I wish I was younger, mid 40 is bad enough with three pests at 11, 9 and 9.

That said losing weight is brilliant, but have to be careful with food.

Had a lovely steak today, but lots of salad as well.

Not eating crap and walking more seems to help.

As soon as it feels like you are dieting it fails
