Lee Hurst: Abolish all benefits…

Abolish all benefits. Simplify it. Pay everyone the same amount. 40 hrs a week times min wage. Get them onto skills training to earn it or community work. If they are genuinely disabled give it to them. If a family member is designated a full time carer for them pay them too. Pay it to full time University Students for 3 years and ditch the loans. As a society we get something back for our money. People upskill, stuff needed doing gets done. What is wrong with this as an idea? If you have ever had to deal with the benefits system it is ridiculously complicated and expensive to run and get nothing back for our tax money.

Lee Hurst: This is what allowing week after week…

This is what allowing week after week of pro terrorist supporting marches to go on without any hint of neutral policing that should have been more robust than biased. This is on Sadiq Khan, the Labour Party, the Met Police and the not fit for purpose judiciary.

Lee Hurst: I think the reason Brits…

I think the reason Brits go on foreign holidays is so they can spend two weeks in a country where most people speak English.

Lee Hurst: The only carrot I would offer…

The only carrot I would offer would be to allow them to apply to emigrate here like anyone else. This would only starts 5 years after deporting them like if they volunteer to leave. If they have to be caught, they are banned from applying to emigrate here for life. Anything else sounds like a reward.

Lee Hurst: With Britain’s birthrate falling…

With Britain’s birthrate falling, the need for housebuilding is only driven by immigration. Prove me wrong.

Lee Hurst: The only thing that will save us…

The only thing that will save us financially in the UK is cuts. The government needs to stop spending. Start with a recruitment freeze. For every three people who quit or retire you are allowed to hire one person. This immediately allows the public sector to shrink in a managed way. As you hire new staff, they will not be allowed a public sector pension. They will only be allowed a private one if they choose to take one out. This immediately starts to shrink the cost of the public sector pension bill in a managed way. Non jobs that provide no worth to the public will be ended and the staff relocated within the public sector on the same pay to roles that are needed. Using the above template, you will not have to make anyone redundant. You will just shrink the public sector until we end up with one we can actually afford doing what we actually need. Alongside this you encourage investment in the private sector to create jobs that add worth to our economy and society. Social Housing apartments can be built which can then have a degree of rent control thus reducing the benefits bill by reducing the rents the taxpayer is forced to cover at the same time as reducing benefits payments in general by putting people back to work. The apartments will also provide a guaranteed safe, stable return for the investors. None of the above is sexy or fabulous. It’s not an entertaining post. In fact it is very boring, but it is full of ideas that we need to consider. What’s your idea?

Lee Hurst: Starmer is not…

Starmer is not, was not and never will be up for the role of PM. He was elected by voter apathy alone. He behaves in a sociopathic way and lies as easily as he breathes.
