If you were dictator of the UK

Just jumping off from your post. I've mentioned this before. But communal cantines. Using locally grown food. A place to learn about growing, raising and preparing food. Cheaper than restaurants, with a limited range of fairly basic but tasty healthy fare.

It comes to mind as it seems daft that thousands of single and really CBA with cooking and shopping, people like me, cooking in their small kitchens, wasting food, all those separate electric ovens being used. I'd quite like to rock up to a place like this of an evening. Not every night but you know.


Totally agree. Most housing areas divided into community blocks with their own medical clinic, free laundry and repair facilities, outdoor gym and kids area, little local shop selling basics, some growing spaces, and your canteen open for free/very cheap basic meals.
 
There are still quite a few municiple golf courses. Daughter and Grand-daughter found a set of golf clubs in Lion wood and spent many enjoyable lockdown days playing golf on a local course. Normally, it costs £3 to hire a set of clubs and play as long as you like. It's not for me but they had fun.
There are in Leeds! Ones in Armley 😂😂😂
 
And let all men say what they will, so long as such are rulers as call the land theirs, upholding this particular propriety of mine and thine, the common people shall never have their liberty, nor the land be ever freed from troubles, oppressions, and complainings, by reason whereof the Creator of all things is continually provoked.

The man of the flesh judges it a righteous thing that some men who are cloathed with the objects of the earth, and so called rich men, whether it be got by right or wrong, should be magistrates to rule over the poor; and that the poor should be servants, nay, rather slaves, to the rich. But the spiritual man, which is Christ, doth judge according to the light of equity and reason, that all mankind ought to have a quiet subsistence and freedom to live upon earth; and that there should be no bondman nor beggar in all his holy mountain.

No man shall have any more land than he can labor himself or have others to labor with him in love, working together, and eating bread together

That's got to be old Gerrard Winstanley, right? :cool:
 
Ten Point Plan

1. Ban coriander.
2. Make jazz compulsory.
3. Free pizzas for all.
4. Massive investment into research and development of vegan cheese that actually tastes nice.
5. A free espresso bar on every street, more on long ones.
6. Ban the use of the word “nom”.
7. Abolish my excess weight.
8. Find a cure for hangovers.
9. Abolish unfitted bottom sheets.
10. Self-cleaning homes for all.

The joke will be on you once they discover that the cure for hangovers is coriander based
 
Reduce working hours by 2 in winter, between the hours moving forward and back.

If we're fucking around with time to make the hours work we could do our bodies a favour and actually change our habits to make use of available light and the urge to sit down and chill the fuck out in the dark months.
 
All members of the ERG and other Brexit enablers, including Paul Dacre, Richard Tice, Aaron Banks, David Cameron, Jeremy Corbyn and Farage, to have all their assets seized, their passports cancelled and to be dumped on Pitcairn.
 
Get rid of prison sentences of less than five years. Free at least 50% of those banged up. For those still away, I'd make prisons much closer to those seen in Nordic countries.

Make pie n mash plus jellied eels the national dish.

Disband any football team that wear black n white stripes

Repeal the Dangerous Dogs Act and instead focus on deed, not breed. The amount of out of control small dogs is astonishing.
 
Hang all politicians from the last 50 years that are still alive, same for lords and monarchy. Bulldoze private schools and turn the playing fields into Redwood tree groves.

Make my cat chancellor, turn Parliment into a giant paint ball park. Hang Johnson (alive) in a gibbet from Nelsons column.
 
Divert funding into a time machine project, get some nukes, aim them at the oppressors 800 years ago and hope for the best.
1220? So the world’s rulers / oppressors then would be mostly living in India, the Middle East and Central Asia with most of the manufacturing and so real power in Eastern China. Sounds a bit Farage / white man’s burden to me…
