Stop car insurance being such a rip-off. Make sure they pay-out when they're legally meant to. A majority of us don't need insurance as we're good drivers, those that cause accidents should have their licenses revoked and then we can live happily.

Limiting the payment of child benefit to the first two children born into a family would produce massive savings to government expenditure, as well as reducing the problem of feeding an expanding population. If a larger family is what you want, then fund it yourself.

Do we abort all triplets then? My daughter was a twin. Unfortunately I lost her twin during pregnancy but if I hadn't I would have 3 children now instead of 2. I only wanted 2 but you cannot change nature.

In a few years time I shall be of retirement age. I was mis-sold a pension in the years before mis-selling legislation came in. I shall therefore be a huge burden on the state through no fault of my own. My pension is predicted to be worth less than 20% of what was promised, and this figure declines every year.

The government should legislate to get pension companies to come to a reasonable settlement so that I could actually retire one day.

Otherwise you taxpayers will be subsidising me for years to come, so I thank you in advance......

Social funds, crisis loans end in April.:(
Credit Unions are money saving places, they actively encourage it.
Signposting these people to try their local credit union for these loans could mean helping both become self sufficient as they charge low interest rates and share any profits with their members.:j

Please stop making it cheaper for the same price being charged for two people as one person. Each person should have to pay the same amount. This is particularly the case for hotels over-charging single people but applies everywhere where there are 2 for 1 deals. End financial discrimination against single people!
