Broken clock etc....
Defence though, come on U75, what would we do?
Abolish the armed forces and buy a shit load of AKs for community defence? Or some hippie training in conflict resolution and collective meditation? Or we'd be such a tinpot lunatic island arguing over the latest mad pronouncement from the dictator nobody would be a threat to us anyway...

Ban Formula One and all other Motorsports from the UK, with the possible exception of the TT race on the Isle of Man is I may not have jurisdiction there.
Ban all domestic flights.
Ban second homes: anyone renting a Buy-to-Let 2nd home will have their rental agreement automatically turned into a mortgage which will thereafter be paid to the state, rather than the previous landowner. Proceeds from these liberation mortgages to be used to fund public education and healthcare.
Ban private healthcare and private schools.
Close down all fossil fuel burning power plants, accepting blackouts if necessary, and invest enormously in building an entirely renewable energy grid. Three years max for this, operators of fossil fuel burning power plants still operating after three years to be cast adrift on rickety old boats. If they manage to survive a year at sea they will be allowed to land in UK ports thereafter.
Initiate talks with the Republic of Ireland and the six counties on transition to United Ireland.
Ban all SUVs. Only people in designated countryside postcodes allowed to own Land Rovers, all urban dwellers banned from owning cars beyond a certain size.
Decriminalize all drug possession and free everybody in prison on non-violent drug charges immediately. Violent prisoners to be transferred to psychiatric hospitals. Prisons to be more-or-less abolished and replaced by rickety old ships that are cast adrift in the North Atlantic where absolutely necessary.
Ban factory farms and end farming subsidies based on acreage.
100% inheritance tax on everything over 500,000 quid.
No train journey to cost more than 50% of minimum wage per journey hour, e.g. if minimum is 20 quid then a one-hour train journey to cost maximum 10 quid.
Dog ownership to be licensed like cars: failure to pass theory and practical tests (mandatory for all current dog owners too) will result in confiscation of dogs. Any dog owners caught not picking up their dog's shit to have their license immediately suspended and fined 10% of their annual wage.

All police authorities to be ruled over by a jury-like board of community members on a rotating 12 month basis. Everyone should get to spend at least one year of their working life overseeing their local police authority. Former dog owners whose licenses to own dogs have been suspended due to infractions in the dog code will be not be allowed to serve on such boards.

I don't know if Nick Clegg still lives in the UK but if he does, expropriate his property and offer him council housing in Blackpool. If he doesn't live in the UK anymore revoke his passport. If the International Court of Human Rights has a problem we tell them to do one

I’d make everyone submit their ideas of what they would do if they were dictator, and any I didn’t like I’d have the person deported and installed as dictator of some other country such as France, or South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.

Why would people work as masseurs or doctors if they had a billion pounds and a big house?

You could make it a law that everyone had to do a shift as one or the other, as frequently as needed.

People that don't reply to phone messages (text/Whatsapp/etc.) reasonably promptly (within a day or 2) without good reason get a public flogging. Maybe 5 lashes for each day they didn't reply?
As for old people that have a mobile phone but only turn it on every so often to check for, or send, a message then quickly turn it back off to 'save the battery' or something, flogging is too good for them ffs.
