Letter to PM
Dear Mr. Cameron,
Please find below our suggestion for fixing the UK '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 10 million people over 50 in the work force.
Pay them £1 million each severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:
1) They MUST retire.
Ten million job openings - unemployment fixed
2) They MUST buy a new British car.
Ten million cars ordered - Car 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) They MUST buy £100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week .....
And 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
If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know.
Also;
Let's put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in a nursing home.
This way the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies and walks.
They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc and they'd receive money instead of paying it out.
They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance.
Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them.
A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell.
They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.
They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool and education.
Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ's and legal aid would be free, on request.
Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens.
Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls.
There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to.
The criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised. Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and pay £600.00 per week and have no hope of ever getting out.

They are the ones who are keeping this country going. We stopped training our own people in anything skilled and useful years ago.Keadyart wrote:There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them £1 million each severance for early retirement
We've got Polish plumbers, Romainian Builders, etc., etc. Not that I object to east european workers. In fact far from it! They work very hard and as a result are often doing very well for themselves and are providing a much needed boost to our economy.

Re: Letter to PM
NYAF,
got this as an email,I didnt compose it,just thought the bit on putting OAPs in jail and prisoners in care homes was amusing and almost sounds a good idea.
I think it is meant as a joke.
Carry on

Yes, I know it was a joke! I'm just reflecting upon the sad and massive loss of skills and manufacturing in this country.

Re: Letter to PM
As if the Prime Minister is going to open a letter with your south Armagh return address Brian
However, I do concur with the sentiments.

If banks are given bail-out money out of the taxpayer's pocket, there should be a condition that they will open 24/7/365 including Bank Holidays.
And all transactions will be executed within 4 minutes or there will be penalty charges of £60 per minute or part thereof.
