    There should be NO unemployment in our society!

    Number of people in employment can be increased in a very easy way by:
    1. 1. Creating more part time jobs
    2. 2. Creating more job share posts
    3. 3. Creating jobs for full time parents!!
    • a) parents who can not afford child minders should be able to get a jobs on term time only basis!
    • b) jobs for parents have to be flexible i.e. employers need to be willing to employ more people on casual basis and there should be a whole community of people willing to work and willing to be contacted should an employer need urgent cover. It could be done in number of ways: email, SMS, phonecall etc.
    • c) this type of jobs would attract all sorts of employees and could be split between three people: 1-morning staff, 2-school time staff, 3-afternoon staff. This would create more people being employed and more people happy with their lives. Job element in anybody's life is so important like "bread and water" and should never be a problem in well developed country like Great Britain!

    Jobs for parents on casual basis are very important to create a healthy society and it still has not been addressed by any of the politicians well.
    It has to have a national coverage for 100% of willing to work parents, should not reduce significantly any social benefits but it should make such a difference that unwilling to work parents would be worst off.

    Jobs for full time parents is a missing link for creating healthy physically, mentally and spiritually society and politicians who ignore importance of it should be fined and sent to prison instead of
    - parents who can not afford child minders and are forced to work long hours to the detriment of their family life
    - parents with kids that are not being supervised properly who in the absence of parents get up to all sorts of mischief and later in life are just at the rock bottom of the society.


    It is really high time to stop what is the primary cause of all sorts of evil in our society.
    All people have to work, some will do it for free but some can not afford to.
    However all people can work shorter hours not longer!! or all can work part time to be able to take care of what really is vitally important for the good of whole society.
    - Well balanced kids
    - Well balanced parents
    - Well balanced citizens


    To achieve this politicians have to look closer into Maslov's hierarchy of needs and much closer into the aspect of work/life balance and dangers of not having it!

    Introduce a compulsory death sentence on any individual found guilty of a third sentence requiring imprisonment. i.e. Three Strikes and you're out.

    Why should the taxpayer fork out £40,000 per year to keep recidivist prisoners in relative comfort?

    It would probably reduce crime too.

    Totally agree. If they cant reintegrate into a crime free lifestyle with rehabilitation help over a given time period, then get rid off them, they are nothing but a total burden to society. Far too many small crimes go unpunished by the courts. How can some criminals have 50+ convictions, they should be left to rot. They dont care or show any remorse why should we. Jamie Bulger RIP.

    That fuel prices at the forecourt pump be protected from the fluctuations in crude and that when the price of crude goes down the cost at the pumps goes down at the same time.

    The Tories actually said before the election that they would protect the drivers from hikes in fuel at the pump by adjusting the amount of duty. Diesel is now being charged at a minimum price in my area at 122.9p (£1.23) per litre, (Tesco & Asda), the price in August was between £1.15 and £1.17 per litre. There has been no apparent protection although it was promised.

    The price at the Tesco pumps today (09/12/10) are 124.9p per litre for diesel. That's 2p up from yesterday. This equates to around 10p a gallon rise overnight. If you have a 10 gallon tank, (average for a small car), that's going to cost you another £1.00 per fill up.
  • Can all internet providers advertise price per meg instead of up to.

    If a family falls behind on mortgage repayments, the government should take on the loan/ownership of the property. The family will then pay fair rent to the government and remain in their home. The house becomes a government asset. Stops banks profiteering from repossessions and councils housing homeless families.

    So someone could buy a house well out of the affordable means, and then rent it on the cheap from the government? I think not.
  • Instigate a 10p/litre cut in fuel duty for UK haulage companies made payable via a quarterly rebate. This will cut costs allowing shops to reduce prices and subsequently put more money in everyone’s pocket. It will also encourage businesses to use UK firms as they could undercut their foreign counterparts.
  • Mothers unable to fill out birth certificate forms may find their pension contributions for years they stay home with children stopped. If Child Benefit is in father's name, she will have to make up thousands to receive her rightful pension. Stop cheating women out of pensions deservedly earned!
  • Speaks for itself. Fuel doesn't cost energy companies more during the winter. The winter price rises are there purely to exploit customers when they need energy the most.
  • TV adverts should not be louder than the programmes that they interupt. Too often I have to mute the television as the noise becomes deafening with the adverts.... and aren't cars leaping/flying about misleading in car adverts? Ads are supposed to be factual.
  • Why don't energy providers have just one tarrif for householders and one for businesses,
    it would be so easy to compare prices that way.
