The country runs on diesel - the high rate of tax impacts everyone - genuine business users should pay a price similar to farmers and their red diesel. Utility suppliers should also be capped or better still re-nationalised. Water, gas and electricity are requirements not luxuries.

Train ticket reward/compensation system where you earn a late 'mile' for every minute that your train is delayed! For every late 'mile' that you earn you get to travel a real mile for free on the train!

Incentive for trains to run more effectively and we actually get a little compensation for being delayed.

This is so simple yet so briliant!

I'd like to see companies holding both parties equally responsible for repayment of a financial product instead of just chasing the one most likely to pay. I've ended up paying a joint loan back myself and I know others in similar positions. Why should someone who signed the same agreement walk away and nothing is done to recover costs?

An escrow or insurance backed scheme should be set up for gift card holders(like ATOL).

End the unfair Stamp Duty fiasco. If I jump into the next band I should only pay the higher rates for the proportion of the purchase value that falls into this band, NOT the entire purchase price.
£250,000 = £2500 Tax
£250,001 = £7500 Tax.:eek:

Is this Fair?

In this time of Austerity and at a time where Britain needs to borrow money, why can't the Chancellor issue Treasury Notes or Bradbury's as they were known? This would mean debt free borrowing and would help to reduce the deficit.It's the interest on the borrowing that is crippling Britain.

An Eye for an Eye.
I think we here in UK should have the death penalty i think the justice system is a crime itself .
If you murder somebody in cold blood you get 25 years normally out in 15 living in a cell with TV, games, 3 meals a day and getting paid at the same time although not alot still, being paid for murdering.
I think they should have a plain empty cell and then put to death if found guilty would stop alot of people even considering it would not stop completely but would certainly cut it right down.

And I think rapists and pedophiles should be castrated and made known to families in the area they live simple as.
