The only decent policy you have here is the one about foreign aid!

Healthcare not provided by government to people over age of 60. Privatise NHS
Controls on immigration levels/only high skilled immigrants.
Immigrants must prove they are willing to assimilate under new culture
Bans on Kosher/Halal slaughter
Child benefits limited to 1 child Abolish child benefits
Until start uni, have to pick 1 from Maths/Science to study.
Raise tuition fees to £12,000 (UK) £15,000 for STEM, PPE, Languages, Law (real subjects), £18,000 for all other subjects

I like these ideas, however the red is my extension of your policies.

This is so stupid it hurts. So someone who has been paying taxes throughout their life to pay for care when they retire suddenly don't get any benefit from them? What's the point in paying any taxes at all then. Let's abolish currency and trade for food with bullets and bottle caps.

Yes. Old people are a leech to the system, and they should be charged per visit to the GP/hospital.

Ridiculous, you're making "real subjects" only accessible to the rich! Keep the poor down, that's the way to do it.

If fees were raised it would hopefully dissuade people from doing pointless degrees, and make a degree worth more again (as it was before Blair tried to give everyone a degree: another Labour failure)
You do you think is going to pick up the tab for a £1 min wage? It's effectively benefits for business owners.

Did you even bother to read my comment or are you unable to comprehend it? They are NOT leeching from the system because they PAID for it. The system only works because the current generation maintains pays for the previous one. If there is no healthcare after retirement age then the current generation stops paying and then there is no system.

Your "policies" are laughable.

They have paid for it, I agree. Which is why they have had it for free for 60 ****ing years. That's a lifetime, if you ask me.

Life would be so much easier if the NHS was privately run. Then, you would only need to pay for the healthcare that YOU need, and not for the healthcare of every Tom, Dick and Harry who passes you on the street (which is the current policy). Why should people pay for something that they might need in the future? It's an absurd policy if you ask me.

Disagree with most of your policies, mostly with your policy to legalize weed.

People need it more in later life than in early life. That's why we pay for it (to secure it in retirement).

And 60 years is not a lifetime, it hasn't been for centuries.

It's a policy upon which this country is built and a policy along the lines of which almost every other country in the world operates.

The U.S. Health system is one of the only non universal care systems in the world for a reason, it doesn't work and isn't fair.

Oh I thought you supported this policy from a personal point of view.

I suppose I agree with your sentiment, no not quite with your execution :smile:.

most people who want weed legalised are stoners themselves. i think we could legalise it and milk it for its worth. i think its relatively harmless. certainly less harmful than most of the **** we put in our bodies in a daily basis.
