Sensible ones delight. I'yard watching a program well-nigh moving and it is making me call up that mayhap in England the laws concerning abode buying and selling need serious revision.

And then what law would you alter or introduce and why?

Comments

  • I would modify Scottish house selling laws to those similar to England, so that there are no "offers over" which encourages stupidity.

  • I would laissez passer a law to abolish the Human activity of Matrimony (1707), allowing England to become independent. This would settle the 'West Lothian Question' in one case and for all.
    It would also allow for the problems in the North of Ireland to be solved amidst the Irish gaelic. Afterward all, if there is no Union information technology will certainly pull the rug from under the Unionists' feet!

  • I would pass a law to abolish the Act of Matrimony (1707), allowing England to become independent. This would settle the 'West Lothian Question' once and for all.
    It would also let for the problems in the North of Ireland to be solved amongst the Irish. After all, if in that location is no Union it will certainly pull the rug from under the Unionists' anxiety!

    ok, I take information technology you lot'll be ownership oil from u.s.?

  • I'd modify the law the gets people done for injuring or killling an intruder into their domicile. A person should have the legal right to defend life, limb and property when being burgled, etc.

  • I'd disestablish the Church building of England and abolish the monarchy and ensure all discrimination laws applied to all organisations, regardless of religion. I'd ban battery craven farming.

  • I would implement the means get-go of all, then cutting Scottish corporation taxation by ten%, and cut the upper charge per unit tax band. I would flake the Not-Corporate Distributions rule for small sized companies, and double the stamp duty threshold.

    I would and so offer up visas to immigrants with required skills, and mirror that with incentives for aspiring and successful people to take children.

    I would implement a law for healthy, piece of work-fit 16 to 21 year olds with criminal records (regardless of size), that would require them to be in either an educational establishment, a gap twelvemonth with a place at an educational establishment, a workplace, cocky employed or an apprenticeship - one of these, or forced national service.

    I would put in place a programme for local parents to ensure they are first priority to exist recruited into local public service organisations - such as schools, nurseries, youth clubs and community centres. A local, well known face in these establishments would assist maintain order.

    Finally, in lodge to salvage the environment and boost need in the construction industry, also equally creating long-term jobs for semi-skilled workers, I would stage out all fossil-fueled power stations with nuclear fission power stations, in guild to come across our mid-term emission targets - and buy time to inquiry a better option. Nuclear over coal/oil/gas is surely the "to the lowest degree worst" of the two.

    These programmes may be aggressive for Scotland, and in the case of the tax legislation - would be a case of "speculate to accumulate" - funded by the sale of the oil reserves that Alex Salmond keeps going on about.

  • I would then offering up visas to immigrants with required skills, and mirror that with incentives for aspiring and successful people to have children.

    Dont similar that at all, quite offensive really.

  • ok, I take it you'll be ownership oil from u.s.?

    I think that would be fair, don't you? ;) :)
    I'm sure we could come to some organization! ;)

  • Dont like that at all, quite offensive actually.

    Which part?

    The part about only taking useful immigrants (if you lot have a broad selection, why non have the best of the agglomeration? recall this is non the instance for asylum applications - only economic migrants)

    ... or the part almost aiming incentives towards hard working families to reproduce, rather than racking upwards future child support payments which are already dragging Scotland downwardly.

    Nosotros desire a future with a qualified and able workforce - in society words - something different from what we accept now.

  • Which part?

    The part well-nigh only taking useful immigrants (if you have a wide selection, why not take the best of the bunch? recollect this is non the example for asylum applications - only economical migrants)

    ... or the part about aiming incentives towards difficult working families to reproduce, rather than racking up hereafter child support payments which are already dragging Scotland down.

    We desire a future with a qualified and able workforce - in order words - something dissimilar from what we have now.

    You're basically writing off a lot of the people we accept in the country already. It's a bad mental attitude - an easy fix. The second part of what you say is also extremely difficult to impliment adequately.

    Also, the first office about qualified immigrants, I dont like that either. What you're basically doing is stealing the all-time workers that poorer, developing countries have developed, and it doesnt help those countries at all. It's a selfish, quick fix tactic and I dont like information technology.

  • Y'all're basically writing off a lot of the people we accept in the land already. It's a bad attitude - an easy fix. The second part of what y'all say is also extremely difficult to impliment fairly.

    Well we have been pussy footing almost as a nation for likewise long now, forth with the north of England in our attitudes - yet, the south is storming alee. That conspicuously did not happen by accident.

    All modify is tough, but in order to see it through to the end you must accept the "top-down" approach. For some people - maybe even many people - the going will be hard for a while.

    In that location is no restriction on anyone having children, merely there is surplus encouragement for select groups (ie: working couples) to have children through provision of mean solar day care and financial incentives.

    In lodge to streamline the nation, and dig ourselves out of recession (Scotland that is), so some more than drastic approach will take to be taken from what we take now. Our electric current, one-half-hearted measures are inappreciably having much impact... what with there beingness a 10 yr gap in the life expectancy of a gars in Glasgow, from i in south of England.

    As for the second part - if we don't get them... someone else potentially will.

  • Sensible ones delight. I'm watching a program almost moving and information technology is making me think that mayhap in England the laws concerning dwelling buying and selling need serious revision.

    So what law would you change or introduce and why?

    I could remember of loads more, only I'd like to run across a law passed that meant that Freemasons (and members of any other 'hush-hush' societies) would have to publicly register their membership. In this way we would finally know how many policemen, lawyers, politicians, judges, CEOs etc are involved in such organisations.
    I believe this could actually ENHANCE our democracy and society equally a whole. 1 of the reasons people have lost faith in our judicial arrangement, for instance, is because they run into judges getting off with a slapped wrist for downloadng child pornography. Now if that judge was a dustman, practice you think he would be treated the same way?
    Not unless the Dustman was a Mason, of form ;)

  • Well I disagree with your tactics. It's non the but mode imo, and I retrieve it'south quite dissentious to society longterm.

    "Equally for the 2nd part - if we don't get them... someone else potentially will."

    That's no excuse.

  • No one - a police to finish children over the age of 10/youths/girls congregating in gangs of more than 2 on residential streets. ASBO's/street banning orders/curfews to exist imposed on transgressers.

    No 2 - abolish animal experiments/vivisection totally and absolutely.

  • No ane - a police force to stop children over the historic period of 10/youths/girls congregating in gangs of more than 2 on residential streets. ASBO's/street banning orders/curfews to exist imposed on transgressers.

    You lot've got to be joking.

    No two - cancel animal experiments/vivisection totally and absolutely.

    Yes, I recall you are (joking, that is).

  • You've got to be joking.

    Yes, I call up yous are (joking, that is).

    No I'm not joking.

    I would.... mirror that with incentives for aspiring and successful people to take children.

    ...aiming incentives towards difficult working families to reproduce, rather than racking up futurity child support payments....

    At that place is no restriction on anyone having children, but there is surplus encouragement for select groups (ie: working couples) to have children through provision of twenty-four hour period care and fiscal incentives.

    Your plan doesn't stop child support payments from being "racked up" though. As yous say, at that place is no restriction on anyone having children. Therefore, equally they're not in the "select groups", they can continue to rack-upwardly future child support payments, whilst the state would also have to pay for "surplus encouragement for select groups".

  • ok, I take information technology you'll be buying oil from us?

    Well as concluding year the UK became a Internet importer of Oil for pretty much the first time, and then yea might likewise simply buy what we need,

    and I am certain England could get a deal with the drilling companies,

    At present the north ocean is empty lets cut and run,

    I'd change the constabulary the gets people done for injuring or killling an intruder into their home. A person should have the legal right to defend life, limb and holding when existence burgled, etc.

    I recall progress was fabricated in that management a few months agone with the announcement of new guidelines. I cannot recall details.

  • Details are that same as they were, are and always accept been (well since ive been alive) that you can yous reasonable strength to protect yourself.

    This is a subjective test, and then if someone reaches into there coat and I personally am totally scared and think he is reaching for a gun or pocketknife, I tin act reasonablly to prevent that assault. What is reasonable in the circumstances is for the courts to decide.

    I would ban smoking in all public places, including outdoors. It would be legal to smoke only in private homes.

    I would also raise the tax on tobacco products in lodge to toll it out of the marketplace. I would introduce severe penalties for tobacco smuggling, on a par with hard drugs.

    Eliminating smoking would save 100,000 + lives per twelvemonth as well as making this a much more pleasant state to alive in.

  • I would make it illegal for whatever body, absolutley anyone to say, "well its only a game" at anytime after your squad has only lost the most important match e'er.

  • More seriously would make information technology a law that the 50/50 split for gate fees went back into football as it was.

  • You're basically writing off a lot of the people we have in the state already. Information technology's a bad attitude - an easy fix. The 2nd part of what you say is besides extremely difficult to impliment fairly.

    As well, the offset part about qualified immigrants, I dont like that either. What yous're basically doing is stealing the best workers that poorer, developing countries have developed, and it doesnt help those countries at all. It'south a selfish, quick set up tactic and I dont like it.

    Qualified immigrants are not necessarily stolen past anyone. A large part of them actually desire to come up to the United kingdom or other western countries. Prisoning qualified people is vulgar and hardly benefits anyone.

  • I would brand information technology illegal for any body, absolutley anyone to say, "well its only a game" at anytime after your squad has only lost the almost important match ever.

    The following expressions should besides exist made illegal:

    ane) Lads washed well
    2) Become on with it.
    three) We showed character
    4) No boldness to the opposition Only
    v) It does not affair who scores every bit long equally the team wins
    6) Nosotros worked difficult
    vii) Y'know ( Especially applicative to Captain Marvel Beckham)

    ...Maybe it would exist easiest to criminalise public talking of :) footballers.
