I was sent an email yesterday with some ideas that were put forward to a think tank here in the U.K. While I do not know of the reaction or ultimate conclusions by said think tank, all I can offer is my opinion on the bullet list. See below.
Borders: Closed to further immigration.
Illegals: Found, stopped and sent back.
National Commitment: Re-establish national service.
Parliament: Obey it's own laws. Make politicians keep their promises or have them disqualified from further election. No programs scheduled to start past the next election.
Dual Citizenship: Abolished (you're either British or something else, if you're something else, be a visitor and then leave when your visa runs out).
Languages: English, Welsh and Scottish only.
Drug Free: Mandatory drug screening before welfare benefits.
Borders....ahhhh borders. Well seeing as we live on a fucking island, the word border should be removed from all legislation. I say that if someone is able to make it across the English Channel and onto U.K. shores, they should be allowed to stay. (but only if they swim the 21 miles across from France.) I jest. Terrible idea. Part of the beauty of this aged little island is the fact that we have people from hundreds of countries. They contribute to a cosmopolitan way of life that I rather enjoy. The British culture is rich and vibrant but only (well, not only) because of our immigrants. Thumbs down.
Illegals...I say if they can indeed swim the 21 miles from France to the U.K., I'm guessing that are going to be pretty fucking fit. I reckon we could use a few more healthy folk in this country since everyone has turned into fat, lazy fucks who sit on their ass watching T.V. and scoffing scones. I jest again. Illegal means just that; fucking illegal. If you cannot be here legally, GTFO. I say thumbs up.
Rolling my fucking eyes at this next point. I feel rather embarrassed that this has come from a group of British scholars.
National service is a terrible fucking idea. War is not the way forward, and we are in no danger from invasion from any fucking nation state, anywhere, ever. People have more brains than to wage war with the U.K. because they know that we'll send in the Americans (hey yanks, I don't like it anymore than you do) to fuck their asses up. Moot point on the list. Whoever put this in for debate should be beaten with a blunt object until their eyes bleed. Thumbs fucking down.
Parliament obey it's own laws? I fucking wish. A politicians manifesto requires them to lie. Until we get some real politicians with big old elephant balls, the peer system in parliament is just fubar. Yes, fubar. Thumbs up on the idea but until we get some REAL men and women in the Houses of Parliament. I'm giving this a BIG old thumbs down.
Dual citizenship abolished? Fuck you, fuck you. This could affect my family directly so obviously I'm going to tell you to stick that where the sun doesn't shine. I do however think that if you hold a position in any government role then you must have only one citizenship. Thumbs down.
Languages? Hmmm. I'm a firm believer that you should be able to communicate in the language of the country that you live in, at least to a rudimentary level. I don't know why Irish has been left off of this list though. Last time I looked, at least a part of Ireland liked to call themselves British. Racist fucking list makers! *shakesfist* Anyway, I've lived in seven countries and can speak each one of those languages fairly competently, and it was not easy to learn Greek, motherfuckers. This one gets my thumbs up.
Mandatory drug screening before hand outs? Abso-fucking-lutely! While I know that a great percentage of welfare recipients are validly claiming benefits, a large portion are not. This should be the top priority of the bods in the treasury or whoever the fuck dishes out free money to freeloading, pot smoking chavs. A MASSIVE thumbs up!
I feel that you will come to the same conclusions as I have here and if you don't then you're not as cool as I am, but if you should not - that's OK, and as always, fuck you very much for reading.
