Here's something that could start a friendly debate or two.
With the British economy in dire straits, the folllowing letter might prove helpful....
Dear Mr. Darling,
Please find below my suggestion for fixing Britain's economy. Instead
of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on
lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can
call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:
There are about 20 million people over 50 in the work force. - Pay
them £1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the
following stipulations:
1) They MUST retire. Twenty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They MUST buy a new British CAR. Twenty million cars ordered -
Auto Industry fixed.
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing
Crisis fixed.
4) They must send their grand/kids to school , college or university - Crime rate fixed
5) Buy £50 of alcohol/tobacco a week there's your money back in duty/tax etc
It can't get any easier than that!
P.S. If more money is needed, have all Members of Parliament pay back
their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances
If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know. .
Thank you. |

Lorraine Braid.
