Ban all religion, the 1000 genders and racism all punishable by death if caught doing any of them.

No politician would have a wage or expenses if they're millionaires they should do it for the love of the country and people.

Ban all mayonnaise except help make and make it cheaper.

Make employment agencies pay out redundancy pay when long temp workers get laid off after two years.

This assumption that work will follow the next week is a fallacy and is extremely ignorant.

This is one level of parity that is not being challenged.

Yes, I have spoken to ACAS about it.

Tax the rich and redistribute to those less fortunate. Rejig business taxes so that they pay tax on where the revenue is earned, rather than routing it through a tax haven.

Clamp down on ways to pay less tax. If you bring in £150k and pay less tax than someone on £35k, you’re taking the piss from everyone else and don’t deserve to live here.

And the free gin & chocolate, obvs

Change the law so I am always PM.

Change the name from Prime Minister to The Ultimate Lord.

Raise the minimum wage to £15 an hour.

Gogglebox and any possible imitations or spins on the format will be removed from society... or just to be fair to those who actually like it, it will be moved to a subscription-based service and all proceeds will go to helping the homeless (if my country must have this awful show, it will at least do some good under my reign as The Ultimate Lord)

I'd make all Hospital car parks free of charge.

I think it's outrageous that given that the NHS is paud for through taxation, Hospital trusts think it's acceptable to then fleece patients who rely on their own transport to get to hospital.

Oh, and I'd reverse all the PFI deals that Tony Blair did.

I'd regulate the energy sector, so energy companies can't get away with sticking up prices when wholesale prices are actually falling - and I'd regulate the petroleum industry so that prices we pay at the forecourt come down when the price of oil falls. Sick and tired of seeing them up their prices as soon as the cost of crude goes up but drag their heels when it comes down again.

I'd do something about criminao sentencing too. Far too many are getting away with little more than a slap on the wrist, which is no deterrant.

Right, that's my morning sorted. Have to have a think about what I'd sort in the afternoon

All hospital car parks would be free (disgusting way to tax the sick).

and also ban car park ticket machines that demand registration numbers, so you can’t be a nice person by giving your unused time to a stranger (thus promoting just a wee modicum of “people aren’t all bad”, that could filter out across society and in some small, almost imperceptible way, make the world a tiny bit better).

Oh and also hand myself in at the police station, if I’m prime minister, I’m bound to be a crook or a c@nt, either way, I should be locked up.

Hospital car parks should have a machine where you use a code given in your appointment confirmation so you can enter and exit free of charge for outpatients. Visitors for inpatients could maybe have a free park and ride service if they don’t want to pay to park onsite.

Hospitals should not be separate trusts and have a postcode lottery for treatment, it’s the national health service. We need regional centres of excellence and national reach for all illnesses. Employ more permanent staff of better pay and get rid of the layers of managerial hierarchy which costs money and does no good. Provide respite for bedblockers.

Invest in a UK online marketplace to rival Amazon.

Electric buses that are free to use and designed to accommodate electric bikes and scooters.

Huge investment in cycle/scooter lanes and infrastructure.

Big targets on reducing dependance on cars.

Free medicines, healthcare, dentistry.

Prevent commercial profiting from things essential to life including water and warmth.

Free university for the top 20% of students each year.

Ban hospital parking charges. Ban the registration fees for nurses.

Breaking up two party politics.

Confident none of the above will ever happen. In this country at least.

Already: that's the wrong word.

Is it no longer available? is the better question

No, It USED to be the milk of choice then the health police decided everybody was going on the semi only.

The lack of choice is poor customer service and "no one else complains" assumes we are all grateful for this switch.

I rue the day when it moves over to skimmed only, followed by the bad-for-my-health oat milk.

"Full fat milk should be available in all coffee shops and anywhere else for that matter.

The colour code system here is on the caps:

Blue: full fat/whole milk 4%

Semi: half fat 2%

Skimmed: less than 1%

It's the fat /cream that makes the tea and coffee go white. Skimmed is like water and doesn't add anything useful to the drink.

Whats the Irish system?

and make teachers strike during term time holidays, as they keep telling us they work in August. Punish the Gov, not the parents (I'm not a parent but but I get it)
