Save billions of waste at a stroke - GET OUT OF THE EU - in the seventies we were conned into the common market at the expense of the Commonwealth. It has now morphed into the European Union, viz a viz political dictatorship WITHOUT our mandate. Where Hitler failed with war the political elite have won by stealth. Our democracy is a sham.0

SAVE BILLIONS - EASY. All prescriptions should have the cost of all medicines printed just like a till roll. This would high light the stupid prices charged and encourage patients not to waste medicines that cannot be put back into the system.0

Whilst on holiday in Spain a neighbour was burgled. To report to Police she was told she had to bring an interpreter. In this country we provide this service for free to the customer perhaps it is time to change this0

Well - perhaps when pensions bear some relation to earnings then this WOULD be a good idea. Until then ......0 -

The household rubbish is bagged in appropriately coloured liners by householders then put in the one bin. The bin men then collect, the rubbish goes off, is sorted by people employed to do it. Give the job to the benefit scroungers make them earn a salary
'BENEFIT SCROUNGERS'!!!! It would be an extremely SMALL WORKFORCE .....0 -
When are MP's going to realise that the pension paid to a married couple is not enough for them to feed themselves, keep a roof over there head, pay utility bills and buy new clothes or footwear. Most have to rely on handouts from family or friends and charity shops or do without. I would like just one MP to live for lets say 3 months on a married couples allowance to see how they get on. Perhaps only then will these so-called peoples representitives do something to help those with no other income other than the State Pension.0

build a treadmill, generate green energy.
reduces running costs for schools, hospitals etc
walkers generating energy could be community service, schoolkids fitness training, "free gym" for anyone, unemployed etc.
saves money for state and gives everyone a chance to contribute to their local state building.why is there only one monopolies commission?0 -
Local councils could invest our tax money better, by cutting the cost of running street lamps. Switch them off at 10pm. Would be better for the wildlife & environment too.0

Please click thanks if you agree and lets get this message across. Thousands and thousands of British jobs we cannot afford to lose have been/are being outsourced to India by more and more companies (under the guise of "we have to look after our shareholders") and even civil sevice jobs. The scale of this is now huge. It's disgraceful!!! Make it illegal for companies to outsource jobs from England then the bill for benefits for the unemployed would be drastically slashed saving the government/taxpayers hundreds of millions. These companies are happy to take money from UK residents for their products/services and could not survive without them. In return they should be made to give them their jobs.0

If the tax allowance was increased to £11,000 anyone working 37.5 hours on minimum wage would pay £112 tax as against £1000 so not needing the revenue to pay tax credits.Icrease basic rate to 21p to make up shortfall0
