£1 per cigarette
All unemployed people to have to work to receive benefits, it has to be done.
Means test all other benefits except JSA.
Reintroduce the Poll Tax.

I don't care what you say to me. The whole first season at The Amex, I went to all Gus Poyet's pre match press conferences. I asked the great man what I wanted , when I wanted. It's something money can't buy.

Didn't realize that the government make so much out of fags. A £6.50 packet of 20, the Government pockets around £5.25. If everyone one gave up then they'd have to increase tax else where as Billions from smokers are channeld into the NHS or the NHS would go bust.
Reintroduce smoking in pubs.
Allow supermarkets to sell cheap booze.
Premium lager/beer to remain at 5% alcohol instead of planned 4.8%
Save the public sector from privatisation
Invest in public transport
Ban all Heart FM radio stations from broadcasting now and forever
We only live once. Let us enjoy it Mr Obsborne.
And cut the benefit rise of 5.8% to zero.
Probably because it would affect the much mooted Middle England vote.Originally Posted by beorhthelm

I'm not. But if I had kids who needed to be fed, then I'd be working out what my priorities really are. There are plenty of products out there to assist people in stopping smoking, assuming you don't have the willpower to just say "no more" and give up under your own steam. There are plenty of legitimate reasons why people are on the poverty line. Spending over two hundred quid a month on fags is not one of them.
The lady has foolishly attempted to join the conversation with a wild and dangerous opinion of her own. What half-baked drivel! See how the men look at her with utter contempt.
A Tory budget rather than a LibDem budget!
Restore women's pensions to age 60 for women born in the mid 1950's. It's too late for them to adjust. The age adjustment was legalised theft.
Restore the Disability allowances arbitrarily withdrawn last week. Recipients deserve better.
I hope you meet someone your height, so you can see eye to eye with someone as small as you!
Most of us enjoy it very much in pubs without struggling to breathe and coming out smelling like an ashtray, thanks.

Introduce a crippling tax on Hennes, H&M, Top Shop, NewLook, Primark and Abercrombie and Fitch.
"I will design a town in the image of your face. Round the wrinkles of your eyes my footsteps you can trace. We could promenade down infra-nasel depression. The streets of your hands will never feel a recession."
Maybe but it masks the smell of farts, body odour and piss from the toilets which now fill our clubs/ pubs.
Quality! Happy to include Jack Wills and Hollister
Is this a better idea
Response to a post by SeasideEagle on BBS - "Are you another account belonging to cpfc2010? You seem to be spouting the same bullshit."
A graduated property tax (not the the rich-loving tory Old-Etonians will ever do it) based on valuation - not much on your basic two-bed semi, but gradually increasing as the value of the property rises. If you live in a million pound house, you can afford to pay a few thousand a year to the Treasury for the privilege, and if you're in a ten million pound house you can afford to pay quite a few more thousands - and you can always downsize! Not difficult from a million pound house - rather harder if you got a one bedroom flat somewhere!
And the beauty of it is, that although rich people successfully get out of paying tax using overseas trust funds and stuff, the house is fair-and-square on good old Great British terra firma, so even if it is technically owned by some bloody private trust fund in the Bahamas, the tax will still have to be paid, or the house becomes the property of the state, to the benefit of the Treasury, the economy and all of us.
Won't happen, though - more's the pity!
Is there any hint of a reasonable explanation why JSA is the only benefit not to be means tested. Could it be that it is a benefit you received, Tim?
How about some new taxes, let me start the ball rolling: Re needing a licence.
Jogging
Cycling
any form of sailing
owning pets
Daft idea. That would just lead to more unemployment as organisations laid people off because the jobless are doing it cheaper.
I prefer those smells to the smell of smoke. I've also never heard of someone dying of cancer caused by second hand farts.
Contribution based only for a while. Well two months I think back in 2008.
I don't care what you say to me. The whole first season at The Amex, I went to all Gus Poyet's pre match press conferences. I asked the great man what I wanted , when I wanted. It's something money can't buy.

No if you make those on benefits attend a work placement, even twice a week , most will bloody soon find a job. There are some around you know.
