After the poostorm that has become of labour and UK politics I'm honestly sick and tired of the "Eton massive" controlling our lives acting as if they know us, when they dont know a single thing about the people of UK. I'm making this thread, which prolly no one will read, to MAKE and faux political party from /r/uK (hypothetical) and asking each of you to post what would [if you were a leader/ member of FBB] be your policies.
Disclaimer: im not saying being super rich, and having a heir to millions or living in a bubble away from the rest of society makes you not empathetic to their troubles whilst you eat caviar sip and on mulled wine and never ever have to worry about the bills being paid (lol im not sour bois and girls), but in my opinion this government have proved to be so out of touch with the UK its ridiculous. Im not a UKIP fan or supporter, but I have to acknowledge why almost 2 million of the voting public wanted a purple flag in downing street.
Anyways I will get started on what i think the FBB (fixing broken britain party) should do:
For less reading just ctrl + f: [Utility Policy], [National], [NHS], [Education], [Jobs], [Benefits], [Immigration] and [Crime] and read what you think it most important. Im not left or right wing. Im british wing.
1) [Utility Policy] Heavy Nuclear power investment. We will have nuclear weaponery primed for anything to happen to UK, but we are afraid of it doing good and powering our homes??? okay. the uk, as an island, has the perfect conditions for nuclear power plants. we do not get as extreme weather as other countries (cite - quakes, tornados, tsunami etc etc) and i trust british engineering and physicists to design a robust nuclear power plant (to POWER the whole of the UK) for a lifetime.
Make a new company called "uk power" which will be a TAX PAYER OWNER company which will run the plant. A contract will be written where this will be in tax payer ownership for the next 500 years or never sold ever. This will DRAMATICALLY reduce cost of electricity, gas and water (almost all utilities) which will also be nationalised. meaning they will not work for gross fat pig profits but fair pricing for EVERYONE. they will first be rolled out to all majority cities whereas smaller villages will be run on solar power/ wind alongside battery farms (the ones elon musk and tesla are developing -we can do that too) and the solar farms will be 100% make of recycled material.
nuclear waste? still contains a bulkload of its energy - can be stored for selling to our space program or reused in smaller nuclear power plants. the amount of nuclear waste, compared with oil/ coal/ gas plants is NOTHING relate to the amount of energy it will produce and has almost zero impact on global warming. And each nuclear power plant will have a remote battery assembly plant which will siphon off excessive power and be stored so IF there is any power cuts (usually in small towns or villages) we can use them as backups. any profits made in the company will be invested back into the uk tax payer. we will end that stupid changed day and night rate.
This will LITERALLY fix our energy "crisis" overnight (figure of speech will takes couple of years to build the plants). Firstly it WILL put an end to complete oil and coal plants/ energy usage for main cities and towns. This means we can stop buying oil from rich arab nations, as we stupidly do now, reducing the amount of money we spend on oil and thus decreasing the value of paying for electricity through oil imports. It will decrease the use of russian gas and putins stranglehold on us. Why the hell are we still importing energy utilities when are are smart enough and have the money to do it ourselves and the pros outweigh the cons?
It will also mean that electricity will be much more widespread in usage and a greater density is being formed. Complete overhaul of "petrol stations" now including rapid charging points for cars. For now hybrid cars, with both battery and tank for petrol, will be the best bet until we can make battery technology much better and incorporate large areas on our motorways which are able to "wirelessly charge" our car batteries as we drive over them thus increasing the range.
This means CHEAP AS ******** FUEL FOR YOUR CAR. No more paying 100 pounds to fill your "hungry" car. no MORE being at the mercy of global oil prices causing peaks and troughs for your per litre price. no more worrying about getting a car because "the cost of fuel will be too much". get that damn car you want. and btw FBB will cut road tax on ALL purely electric cars, and reduce it massively for hybrid cars. AGAIN the profits made from the energy company will be put back into the tax payer and will be used for massive discounts on the already cheap price for being able to charge your car.
Cheaper electricity en masse means cheaper water cheaper EVERYTHING. Companies overheads will go down, as will utilities like water AND PHONE/ INTERNET ETC because they are paying MUCH MUCH less for their electricity. and by nationalising all utilities we're able to lower the bills for NOT MILLIONS but everyone. lower water, lower phone bill, lower broadband etc. This will also mean that the cost of living will also go down... and that now if we were to restart industry in this country... THE major overhead.. electricity would go down making the cost of making the product lower. Lower electricity cost also means MUCH LOWER train prices.
2) [National] Renationalise EVERYTHING. Transport, telecomms, water, electricity (british gas) EVERYTHING that was sold get it back from the pigs trotters. Get rid of stupid "line rental" for BT customers (when renationalised) and for other telecoms companies to make it fairer on the UK person. Enjoying that 30 pound a month 100mb internet which other countries get for 1 gig? ye enjoy 16 pound line rental.
Reduce the price of broadband and make it MORE competitive for the tax payer (im talking 250mb for 20 pounds, it can be done). a lower cost of public transport is the ONLY WAY to increase productivity into the city and reduce carbon emissions. because you increase the likelihood of people actually using it. Basically this is just bread and butter, stop people ripping off the british person because they want to make £££ and buy a nice boat and keep prices low and affordable at the same time as make money to REINVEST into infrastructure, BETTER PIPES, BETTER CABLES FOR BROADBAND, better TRAINS etc etc.
3) [NHS] - Remove every POS manager and do a proper top down restructure. do it ONLY ONCE in its lifetime. it will hurt like hell but its needed. Put in people, ideally doctors or nurses, who have been WORKING IN the hospital who know how the bloody thing works in charge as the health secretary, not some career gutless politician who has no clue and thinks doctors and going on holiday every weekend. Put people with interests in the healthcare of our country at the top, not pen pushers or business men. hospitals are not a political playground nor a business, dont make it one. reduce the pay of nhs managers. they will still get a nice salary, but it wont be ego inflated.
reduce the levels of managers in the nhs, removing a lot of red tape and pen pushing to get things done and changed much quicker without it being costly to the tax payer. GOVERNMENT RUN UTILITIES ONLY for NHS. Assures cheaper overheads, easing a lot of financial pressure on hospitals and making sure no gross misconduct of finance is committed (paying like 10k for 100 light bulbs because it goes on a "yes" conveyor belt). Stock the hospitals with BRITISH industry run items. Ill go over this in detail but we will make industry back again in this country. **** the cartel and their planned obsolesce bs. this is england. this is britains. this is uk. we will make the best light bulbs you ever seen and they will last for decades if they have to. reducing cost of buying material for hospital maintenance, again lowering overheads. Again making medical equipment in UK also, and reducing import tax so that medical equipment is cheaper to buy for the hospitals, reducing overheads.
Putting an end to the way we have outsourced medicine to private agencies who pay doctors of the same grade as NHS doctors almost double the salary. they will be on the same salary. however fixing the finance of the NHS means more hospitals and more doctors per head. giving nurses that damn pay rise they should have had decades ago. and ill stop this ***** "but youre not a doctor" culture that attacks our nurses. they should be treated with respect as human beings. bringing the trash doctors off their pedestals and highlighting more our GOOD doctors. limiting the medical duality with which a lot of senior doctors do which is fatten their NHS paycheck with private practise. you will be limited to doing this, the NHS is your 1# priority and if you dont like you, youll be asked to go either private or NHS. you dont get into medicine for money. RE-OPENING AnE departments which were closed (for what reason?) reducing the stress of AnE departments which were flooded. educating patients on "out of hours gp services" and making sure many practises adhere to it. many british tax payers arent going to AnE for a laugh... theyre going there because they work in the day and at night some of their practises are closed. making EU citizens PAY for their own treatment ACROSS the board and banning the use of british european health insurance cards by anyone OTHER THAN UK born nationals.
stop cuts and secure the mental health and social care services in the country to prevent backlogging into hospitals. cutting this will ALWAYS cause filtering and funneling issues in hospital beds (yeye there's more people in the country, but medicine has changed the life expectancy for the better we ARE getting older, better healthcare). when an old person is taken care of and need to go back home, but need after care there needs to be a place they can go. currently due to cuts it takes a ***** ton of time to free up beds. hospitals should be a place where people get better, not where they are stuffed in corridors waiting 4 hours for scans and beds. standardise care across the board, although ofc different areas of britain will have different medical conditions more prominent than others they need to handle.
The main thing is educating people about out of hours and TEACHING youngs kids to look after themselves. The main point is reducing stress across the board so doctors ONLY need to worry on the patients and not check boxes.
4) [Education] - LET TEACHERS ***** TEACH. they are NOT parents, they are NOT police. any parents that cant be arsed to educate and teach their bundle of joy manners, they wont get put into the "special school" for kids who misbehaved they will go straight into military cadets or they will just learn a vocation for industry. stop wasting tax payer money on trying to discipline someone elses kid cus they were too horny or cba to be a parent. these days kids are so self entitled its ridiculous, and there's too much of an education gap between the rich and the poor. there will be two pathways. vocation or education.
you either pick up a trade or you go academically. forcing a child that cba with education and making them get gcses wont do a single thing, get them in vocation of the factories grafting (obviously when they are of legal age to work in factories). stop this "you need to have a 2:1 or first to teach" bs. people who have that kind of degree are going to go to the city. let people who HAVE A PASSION for teaching teach. stop teaching kids complete bs. the maths taught should be a balanced mix of lifestyle maths (mortgage repayment, interest, % discount ratios etc etc) and engineering maths (pythagoras etc) and scientific maths (dilutions, moles, ratios again etc) preparing for the real world or prospective jobs.
reintroduce as default social skills and houseskill development in schools. cooking, sewing, ironing, woodwork AS DEFAULT. get them doing electronics young as hell so they know they dont need trash something that cost £400 with a busted capacitor and buy a new one, but pay £5 for a set of capacitors to fix it. and then as default teach them society. whats acceptable and not in society (aka murder rape UK laws drug etc) so even if their parents didnt teach them, they will know something. teach them HISTORY BY DEFAULT. that will teach them about different cultures and the human race. scrap this accelerated learning bs where a two year old can do gcses or something stupid like that. you cant accelerate through like. its like a mature cheddar, tastes stronger more mature it gets. let kids be kids leave the educating to us. for outstanding kids, after school classes or weekend classes can be taught which teaches them a harder version of the basics taught in school. dont jump but go DEEP. get grammar schools back and and get state schools and public school on par with private schools. the object of schools is to educate humans. objective of parents is for boundaries and discipline (parent school relationship wise). Stop this BS "boys will be boys" attitude towards bullying. ANY BULLYING is wrong and should be severely punishment. there should be no place for it in society.
Destroy the current exam system. i mean we will DESTROY IT. total and utter vapourisation. make state exams EVERYONE has to sit. no bullshit private american controlled exam boards, STATE WIDE exams which everyone has to. no bs one school does one exam board another does another. if youre all competing for the same place at uni it should not be down to which exam board has it "easier or harder". One exam board for the STATE. keep in mind by this time those that dont want to continue education are already in vocation or military cadets, so those who do stay should be serious about their education. get rid of coursework. instead have project based learning. "build me a model of the universe". "show me the use of this chemical in todays society" etc etc. There should be "mid terms" in Jan which allow students to take pressure of final exams.
But ofc this mid terms will be very light and aid students to work towards a goal. Exams should be 50% theoretical 50% practical. not 50% coursework 50% written bs that goes on or other. but the practicals should not be under exam pressure. it should be a continuous observation. the theoretical should ALWAYS be more application (depth of knowledge) rather than breath. It reflect our society today where you are stuffing a kid with so many facts to memorise yet they will ONLY use a fraction of it in real life. make them DEEP THINKERS rather than brainless sheep who are only good at memorising pages.
all school meals should be FREE and freshly cooked. Student should be allowed to be which sport or after school activity they want to engage with, and make a club format like in Japan where student pick and join a club. dont force a kid to do a sport which they despise and humiliate them for not being good at it. let them pick and try out what they find FUN and let them do it. thats the only way to get a kid active and make them carry it on towards the rest of their lives (i.e i despised football but loved swimming and martial arts, but there was neither in my school. Swimming was only in first 2 years only one term).
First aid teaching as standard to all primary school kids. Scrap uni courses which lead to dead ends and make uni degrees FREE OF CHARGE. YEP. suck it.
5) [Jobs]- British first, regardless. Implosion in factory and industry meaning MILLIONS more jobs for brits. And we will build exclusion housing for people who work in factories just like china have done, but we will do it better. Build a new car factory from the ground up and make bmw/ mercedes competitive cars 100% british made. 0 export tax for british made produce so we can sell and export to the commonwealth, Americas, oceania, eurasia and china better. make a tiered system, luxury cars, but GOOD QUALITY high volume cars. this will add jobs. need to make people PROUD to work in british industry, need to make it a viable lifestyle. again lower cost of living will fix this and free housing.
Reopening the coal mines and doing it in a 21st century method. Mine the coal. Coal is one of the earths most valuable CARBON sources. used in a crap ton of material not just for burning. we will export it as a carbon source making ££ for uk economy alongside our industry. we wont frac. i will make it illegal to hire illegal people and use them as slave on a disgusting salary so they are forced to live 20 in one room. Jobs will go to brits first, and literally if brits dont want them ONLY THEN will they will be filled elsewhere. and you will have to sign saying you, as a british citizen, dont want the job and for what reason. need to give tax cuts to ANYONE in a job and giving them perks (like % discount on the cars or goods at the factory they work at) so that having a job > living off benefits.
stop giving apprenticeships like crisps. you need to make THE JOB PLACES FIRST before training people and them realising there's no jobs for them in the trade. offer better streamlined support for those who are unemployed because they have medical conditions etc (SOME of this workforce can still do basic computer based work). the bulk of the fit unemployed, send them off to our army and get them involved in the british forces (i will expand on this later i have big plans for uk army). shut down tax dodgers and havens and greedy corps to claw back money. you dont give a man fish everyday until your money runs dry, you teach him to fish and show him the way to the ocean so he can sustain himself for life.
put an end to the "its who you know" culture. make equality for brits applying for jobs.
6) [Benefits] - Cut child support off at 2 children, across the board. Some couple cant even have kids but have to pay tax to support people with 5 plus kids who they themselves cant afford them? please dont joke. have kids that you can afford. dont expect others to pay for them. make orbital cities outside of cities with good links to cities which are full of council housing. NOT TOWER BLOCKS. make them decent well equipment small - medium houses. full bricked, not this new age bs cost cutting. you can make a wicked home for 100k. make parks and beautiful area surrounding them.
dont let kids in council houses grow up in shiit neighbourhoods with no where to properly play so they get into drugs and gangs. let them grow in space. and no im not segregating them from the major cities, im keeping them out of the stressful cluttered city life for a specific reason to do with their mentality and well being. im against stuffing humans in council high rise blocks making them miserable. but keep them connected to the cities for job prospects shopping etc. the WHOLE POINT of doing this is to stop one thing. and thats by en masse AFFORDABLE HOUSING. yep, not putting them in a 2 million pounds london house with like 10k a month in council rent which the TAX PAYER pays. give them a government owned council house BUT WHICH they CAN buy when they are in a better financial situation HOWEVER the house prices will be locked on these houses so they cant make profit by increasing house prices. ill close this right to buy bs too, someone getting pot lucky buying a million pound worth house for barely nothing because the tax payer put up the brunt is bs.
benefits should always be given to those most vulnerable in our society. like giving pensioners free buss passes and what not i will put a limit on that so that those who are millionaires or comfortable dont get one. stopping flagrant abuse of benefits, limiting the amount of council house benefits paid (stopping people living in 3k a month houses courtesy of the tax payers) and CHARGING THE PERSON LIVING IN IT for destruction and not keep it tidy. Converting the existing benefit system into a voucher/ ticket based system where you get a food voucher (like in us) so it cant be used for flash cars, expensive electronics and other bs. and before anyone says anything by making the system completely fair is how it should be as default, its not punishing anyone and even if it was stopping someone subsidising their life into luxury when they cannot afford it isnt unfair on anyone.
being on benefit should not be a lifestyle, thus giving people the EXACT benefits the require and then giving it to them through vouchers (for food, clothing, prepaid electric and water etc) instead of a gross lump sum of money is the way it should be so they are spending it on the essential they need to require to LIVE.
this will cut abuse and allow extra money in the pot for those with disabilities and for homeless brits.
STOPPING BENEFITS to ANY non-british born person. yes british born. you can come here to the UK, free world, but youre not getting handouts. you come with your own money mates. only until you have PAID INTO THE TAX SYSTEM FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 YEARS will a NON BRITISH BORN person be entitled for access to benefits. ill no longer give out uk passports to non british born people. and btw mothers who come from other countries just to give birth, lol, your child will not get a uk passport. Non british born citizen will get an iD card with THEIR HOME COUNTRY passport number and details on it and they will get a unique number associated to them. they wont get NI number.
you will live in UK and pay taxes through this number. this is the only method to ensure british tax payer money is ONLY paid to brits and to people who put into the system. uk citizenship will no longer give uk passports, but an ID card. easier to track people leaving and coming to the country this way. and it will stop easy access to benefits for people who have not paid into the system. other countries do not give brits the world on a platter, so we should not do the same. this isnt an anti-europe agenda. this is to ensue british society gets the money FIRST, and any surplus we have left over then can be used if available. in any society you have to look after the people within it first, get it GROWING before even thinking of accommodating others.
7) [Immigration] - Lol. this was naturally coming after benefits. same applies id card system, 10 year wait putting INTO THE SYSTEM before access to benefits for migrants, eu and non. Only skilled people (refugees are not counted) must have a JOB FIRST and apply for an id card BEFORE going into UK. that job must not have been ONLY advertised in europe exclusively. they will not be put onto housing of any kind courtesy of tax payer. they will have to rent (hence why agreed job prehand allowed a pre determined wage to allow for renting). Honestly, im not anti immigration at ALL.
we are NOT full. use brain plox, 6% of Uk is urbanised for living, we just dont have the INFRASTRUCTURE to accommodate. which is why until we do (until ive built GOOD HOUSES for brits first and done everything above which is why i left this till last) we will restrict immigration from outside EU and EU. however what can be put into effect IMMEDIATELY is the id card and only offering the health insurance to brit born so they KNOW theyre not getting handouts par non. that way the british community should know that these people are not coming here for benefits so that discussion can finally be popped.
8) [Crime] - putting council houses in better land areas (outside of cities) with enough space for families to GROW and get free education will reduce crime. those who dont want education, put them into military cadets like the old days. i will make a bigger MILITARY POLICE force which will help the regular police and we be on a salary. they will go into all communities and help people and be a bigger presence. ending this stockholm syndrome culture some of us are under about our criminals. i will built megaprisons OFF SHORE and literally consult a "human rights" lawyer so i am barely breaking UN humans rights law in designed the prison. they will not live together in cells but microcells and have BASIC FOOD FOR SURVIVAL. protein manufactured cheaply etc. water only. NO **** GYM ACCESS. yes lets make robbers, who couldn't afford gym, stronger by free gym access in prison. prison will be a HELL that no criminal will want to even return to. thats how you make prison a deterrent. in many southern asian countries they literally starve prisoner so they can barely hold their hands up again. if it was up to me id do that too, but even in britain criminals have humans rights... even if that includes murderers removing the human right of a person to live... but the mega prisons will be simple. in a cold dark room every day, meals, THATS IT. no socializing so they can make better gang connections once they get out.
and no more mickey mouse sentences. they need to expensive hell, thats the only way to rehabilitate and make them not re-commit crimes. if they think prison is a joke, whats the point?
TL;DR nuclear power stations; cheaper electricity cheaper everything. make more factories, makes mores jobs more industry. reduce import export tax, close all tax loopholes claw money from multinationals.
renationalise services. build more affordable houses, brick built. better public transport, skyrail, trams etc.
let teachers teach, teach more lifestyle at schools (cooking etc) shove badkids to military/ jobs.
fix the nhs by stopping abuse and making it efficient, no more check boxes and red tape.
stopping benefit abuse, turning cash into voucher to redeem.
give perk to tax payers, make uk passport impossible for non brit borns, implement id cards.
reopen coal mines and export it, export our oil more.
make megaprisons where criminals LITERALLY rot and dont make them on social clubs for criminals.
interested to read your policies.
