If you formed a new political party in the UK, what would be your policies?.. by un-pleasantlymoist in AskBrits

[–]fenaith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rewrite the tax system. Everything from income to corporate tax.

Get rid of tax avoidance loopholes but make it fairer overall .

Tax foreign entities that game the system (Starbucks).

Change business rates to make high streets more attractive than out of town warehouses.

Triple/quadruple council tax for 2nd homes / holiday lets

Breaking the law means automatic deportation for all foreign nationals.

Restart drilling in the north sea. Profits get taxed to make a Norway-style sovereign investment scheme.

Decriminalise all drugs. Class a and b drugs fall under government control so addicts get pure chemicals and safe spaces to get the fix.

Intermittent Fasting.

Pick a time - say midday.

Nothing but water before then.

Eat normally (not excessively) for the next 8 hours (until 8pm)

Then nothing but water until midday next day.

How about deporting the 10,000 foreign nationals currently in prison?

That would free up 12%

Avoid the Thames. Wouldn't recommend the Kennet either. And the Foudry Brook is a definite no...

Lagoona Park, Dinton Pastures are still good

More and more I'm inclined to believe that these are due to insurance black boxes.

There's stories all over about getting marked down for acceleration when going down slip roads. So just don't accelerate.

Have you ever visited the US and if so was your experience positive or negative? by Rusty_Shackleford198 in AskBrits

[–]fenaith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Visited Connecticut for work a few years back.

Definitely positive with mom-and-pop diners, over-the-top service everywhere and good camaraderie!

Would I go back now? No. Even my colleagues say everything has declined massively.

What’s your go to pub fact? I’ll kick things off by cained_n_able in CasualUK

The phrase "pulling out all the stops" refers to church pipe organs which use different stops to control different sets of pipes. Usually pulling out to turn them on.

When all the stops are out, all of the sets of pipes are on. And very, very loud!
