Hello and welcome to the first meeting of an all new political party.
We’re here because we’re pretty jaded with the current lot; although there are individuals we clearly doff our hat to; Mhairi Black being one such.
Ok so here’s the manifesto:
- All schools to be State schools and NO two tiers, no private schools where wealthy people perpetuate their privileges; this happens in Finland where paying for education is illegal so ALL schools are GOOD. Bit of a no brainer if you think about it for a minute. And it would solve almost everything in one swoop.
- Same law for health care. Everyone gets to use the same NHS and oh alluva sudden that would get sorted out pretty darn smartish.
- Legal Aid must be reintroduced. It simply is Wrong to have Justice for the Rich only. And obviously is Unjust. Thank you.
- Use the wind, sea currents and tides to generate power. Like.. durr.
- Appoint some of these tax dodgers a problem each and they solve it using their ill gotten gains, or go to prison.Or get fined. They can choose from homelessness, plastic pollution, youth unemployment, relocating industries or economic solutions for deprived areas, NHS, Rail network, lack of affordable housing.
- Religious bodies that own land get taxed on the land. And they are required to build a certain number of affordable houses on it.
- Roads and drivers. If you’re a very bad dangerous driver you will be banned. No dangerous overtaking. Only allow a new road user on when another one has stopped driving. Improve bus services. Trams. Return disused railway lines to cycle tracks. Thank you.
- Get behind the initiative to pair up lonely old people and students needing accom. Again, a no brainer. Genius.
- Bullying must be stopped. Forever. Properly.
- No sugar added in everything any more and really cut down on sugar content in tins and packets. Really important.
Well that’s enough for now, with thanks to my contributors Colin and Iain.
*round of applause and mutual back slapping*
