If you were dictator of the UK

Net worth limit of £1m. No second homes. All assets and moneys in excess of these limits to be seized and invested for the public good. Free noise cancelling headphone for users of public transport. Anyone who smokes weed in public has to wear a diver's helmet.
 
You wouldn't. If there's a job, it either needs doing or it doesn't. If it does someone will want or feel they need to do it. If not, not.

So magically, the number of people wanting to be plasterers will exactly equal the number of plasterer jobs available, and similarly for surgeons, bin men, data entry clerks, belly dancers, estate agents, and bungee jump attendants?
 
If I say it’s Essex, Cornwall, Derbyshire, Oxfordshire, Cumbria and Kent, it’s Essex, Cornwall, Derbyshire, Oxfordshire, Cumbria and Kent. Which part of Dictator didn’t you get?

You can fuck right off. You already send your unwanted shite to Africa. Send them there!



Oi! I live in that there Kent. We're the classy part of the South East, you can't give us away.

Nup. Unlikely, without incentives for some jobs. Are the only incentives you can think of financial ones?

Also: Imagine being paid, just for living up to your username! :p

Can't see many people choosing to shovel shit in a sewer when mowing the grass in parks pays the same and smells so much better.
 
What everyone is forgetting is that dictators don't always get to decide what happens. Stalin orders an increase in pig iron production in the Urals and, lo and behold, pig iron production increases in the Urals. Nothing necessarily changes on the ground but everyone tells the bloke at the top that all is as he wants. So next time danny la rouge says summat silly about the 6 counties, just pretend to agree with him.

Not many, no. But I'd bet there'd be some people (perhaps with a dampened sense of smell), who'd want to be the person who could cope with doing something others didn't want to but that was needed. Or otherwise that we'd have to think of some other way to deal with whatever problem we were left with.

Well...as I am the dictator in my universe till be Fermanagh, Antrim, Tyrone, Derry, Armagh and Down.

You can do what you want with your counties in your own dictatorship. 😁
