I realise this is an old thread, but I've only just found it. My suggestion would be:
Ban re-selling music tickets above face value!
This will dramatically reduce touting on sites like Ebay. Genuine people who cant make gigs will still get their money back. Real fans wont have to pay extortionate prices.0 -

For loans of less than five years Monthly Percentage Rate (MPR) is much clearer than APR. A Credit Union Loan would be 2%, A PayDay Loan 25%, and a Bank Charge of £5 for a one pound over overdraft limit would be 500%.0

The ban on trucks overtaking on part of the A14 is working well, now extend all along the A14, then onto all major dual-carriageways in 12 months. The lorries can continue at 56mph leaving the outside lane 'free' for other traffic.0

Hello I dont know why people obejected to the poll tax it was a much fairer way of charging people i do believe a wage related council tax should be brought in we are on a low wage and yes we get a small portion off the council tax but i cant see in a row of houses like our this is a fair way to charge. with different wage earners and do think it is about time there is a reveiw of this system. We are hard working I have taken 10 years off to spend the time with my kids bring them up and look after them once the last one is old enough for school 2 years time, then i will return to work I started work at 16 and worked for 13 years until we started my family and I will return to help support but in this important years feel as a family we are penilised.
I have worked we got married I have 3 chilrden and we are just no better off why do we bother?0 -
Index Link Pensions such as BT's properly using RPI as the Bank of England still does for it's employees and the House of Commons still does for it's cohorts. Not the already discredited CPI.
Nip the new Pensions Bill in the bud !0
