Capping of benefits? How about we start emptying our prisons

of trash like this:

I'd have them burnt at the stake, we are in tough economic times dont see why the tax payer should contribute to keeping them incarcerated.

 

I'm anti Tory but I don't see any problems with capping rises in benefits to 1%. If you are stopping public sector workers wages going up by more than that you should stop benefits too.

 

False economy.

The legal bills for the countless appeals and the costs of keeping the whores on death row would be more than just giving them a life sentence.

Agree with Dyson re the benefits cap though.

 

Kangaroo court

black cap, expedite the solution. Their families (if they give a f.,u.ck) can appeal posthumously.

Tough times call for tough measures.

 

These caps on benefits should have happened a few years ago, when everyone elses pay were frozen. I've had 1.6% payrise since 2008.

 

How about making the prisons self funding! Save probably £200 billion?
Foreign prisoners cost £400 million a year! Quick save their!

 

1: The benefits cap are completely the right thing to do and should have been introduced earlier
2: Completely agree about scum like this (if found guilty). I object to my taxes keeping these people in a relatively comfortable lifestyle.

 

Re: Kangaroo court

Can't figure out whether this is tongue in cheek or actually mental.

 

Decent idea - the states run their prisons as business' allowing US companies to compete with chinese imports on low cost items like mail sacks and all manner of items.

The problem with prisons run for profit is that little is spent on re-habilitation and real local jobs are also canibalised.

If you could focus the business that prisons run to items which are almost universally imported and where quality isn't such a great requirement you have a winning solution. Even with items such as electronics you've half a chance there of taking the most promising prisoners and starting them off with some real skills and technology benefits

You could even get them used to getting up to come to work in the morning on their own- and when released give those who have shown promise proper jobs on the inside supervising production, training new lags, maintenance, etc plus in sales, marketing - so they are not thrown to the wolves.

Balance of payments improved. Cost of running prison improved. Reoffending reduced.


Only problem is publicly run it wouldn't work. Privately run the do gooders would moan and bleet.
