    ...what five bits of legislation would you pass? Here's mine:</p>

    1) Transport. Full railway network to be renationalised, along with all major bus routes. Public transport to be state subsidised to the extent that fare prices are cheaper than choosing to make the same journey by car. Double road tax on heavy goods vehicles (including those from abroad so that British hauliers do not suffer) but majorly subsidise freight movement by rail.</p>

    2) Education. Scrap &quot;University&quot; status for all but the top ten establishments in Britain. Scrap tuition fees for those establishments. Ban and close all public schools.</p>

    3) Housing. Scrap stamp duty on all properties for people under 30 to stimulate first time buyers market. Tax rental income on second properties at 80%. </p>

    4) Law and order. Assault to carry a minimum prison term of one year. All drink driving offences to carry a minimum lifetime ban. Legalise the sale of class C drugs at licensed establishments but tax them at 250%.</p>

    5) Social responsibility. Make potential parents pass a &quot;fitness to become a parent&quot; test. Give the vote to all over 16. Allow telephone voting in general, European and local elections.</p>

    That'll do it.</p>

    Ah, but it won't be inflated, will it, because the market will be flooded with properties like yours, so you won't be able to get a &quot;hugely inflated price&quot;.</p>

    Yay for junior school economics. ;-)</p>

    1) Free buns and pies for Prime Ministers.

    2) Everyone has to stop being naughty or there'll be trouble.

    3) Abolish stupid people. (What are they good for anyway? Nothing, that's what.)

    Just for starters

    1. I'd go with Windy's proposal for compulsory sterilisation for those unfit to be parents.

    2. Investigate new forms of funding for the health service to include companies paying for their employees health insurance.

    3. Get majority of freight off the roads and onto railways.

    4. Stamp duty not to apply to the whole cost of the house but that over the threshold.

    5. House prices only to be allowed to rise in line with inflation.

    6. Right to vote to be removed from anyone who hasn't made their mind up which way to vote a week before an election.

    7. BNP to be outlawed as an illegal organisation.

    8. Clowns and mime artists to be sentenced to 3 years imprisonment.

    9. All pubs must by law sell at least 2 real ales.

    Yes. I'd stop taking Asylum seekers who have passed through other EU countries to get here.

    DNA to be taken at birth ?

    And all adult males to be asked to provide a DNA sample to be stored on a big database thing.

    Now you're talking

    What about adult females?

    I heard that they commit crimes too

    I can't believe they still get through.

    They've got x-ray curtain thingies now that can see a cargo of cigs. They're not telling me they can't scan for human beings.

    I'd like to see some figures comparing the advantages of SOME cheap labour to the costs of the benefits and the immigrant crime-wave.

    Yes they do

    But sexual and violent assaults, where DNA is likely to be traceable, are more likely to be committed by males.

    They should take samples from all males, starting the process alphabetically with Afro Caribbeans, followed by Blacks (general)

    1. Reinvestment in the railways big time, including the reopening of the woodhead line as a predominantly freight line, with an hourly passenger service between Barnsley and Manchester. Charge much more road tax to road frieght hauliers and ban heavy goods vehicles from using the roads during peak daytime hours, thereby creating a national network of enormous park up sites which incidentally would have railway terminals.</p>

    2. Only allow immigrants in that can support themsleves, and that pass a written examination and oral interview. Immediate deportation of any immigrant that breaks any serious law within 10 years of arrival in this country, i.e. drugs, theft, assault.</p>

    3. National DNA register for EVERYONE.</p>

    4. Three strikes and your out rule for anyone who goes to prison three times, on the third time they would be shipped off to a remote part of the world that Britain still owns where they will go about colonising it and making the next Australia.</p>

    5. St Georges day to be made a public holiday, and the others to be more evenly dispersed throughout the year, i.e. it's a long time without one from the end of August to Christmas.</p>

    6. Stop putting the clocks back in winter.</p>

    7. Dole wallers to be forced to work as street cleaners, graffiti cleaners, litter pickers, snow clearers etc, or go to prison, thereby risking their future with the three strikes rule (above).</p>

    8. Council tax to be scrapped and 1% to be put on VAT in its place.</p>

    9. Free dental care for all, and government subsidised eye care.</p>

    10. Private cleaning firms to be banned from hospitals and nursing homes.</p>

    11. A free nursing home place for all, that wont cost you your house.</p>
