I thought I noticed some banks crashing and burning this time around.

Something Brothers? Does that ring a bell?

Cameron's new welfare framework is an important step towards freeing the individual from the State

Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/artic ... z1yvoX7P5o

Quote:
The Prime Minister has started an excellent initiative in the Conservative Party's new policy framework for significant and overdue cuts to the welfare budget.

The success of the British economy in coming years very much depends on increased fiscal discipline. This is particularly so after 13 years of Labour's inordinate and misallocated public expenditure that detracted from important areas of economic growth and undermined, through heavy taxation, the potential of small businesses to expand into regional and national powerhouses.

One aspect of protecting economic growth, as this new policy framework realises, is ensuring that welfare is available only for those who really need it.

If we do not cut our welfare expenditure we will undermine our economic competitiveness by unnecessary taxation. The global economic framework is built on, important, inter-state competition. Thus Britain cannot afford to be overindulgent on sentimental welfare spending if it is to ensure an economically successful future.

Quote:
Key to his proposals is the removal of housing benefit from anyone aged 16-24. This is a move that would increase parental responsibility. It would put pressure on parents who want to their kids to move out early to ensure they have done well enough in education to survive on their own.

Quote:
These proposals are long overdue, as is curbing a profligate post-war welfare mindset that has for too long hampered both our spirit of endeavour and our economic growth. The Prime Minister must continue to follow them through for a sustained period of freeing the individual from the gargantuan monster of the post-war state.

As someone on another board said, do under 25s get a tax/NI rebate? What with them paying in and not getting insured against housing problems?

Maybe we should whack up Pandya's tax bill. Free him from wealth.

Consistent failures in border control make it clear that the system is ripe for privatisation

Oh, You mean, like the care homes for the elderly - or perhaps the Banks - maybe the rail network. Things run by the private sector such as the above, or maybe that private contractor who found jobs for just one in forty unemployed (A4E) and received some £40 millions of taxpayer money?. Yes, really well thought out piece of writing, inspires much confidence in the thought out nature of Daily Mail journalism. In fact you are so good you perhaps should be in the (current) government) No. Wait. Maybe the last one. The Universal answer to the question, just keep applying it no matter what the evidence shows. You must be one of those educated people we hear so much about.

Absolutely. Privatisation has worked so well in the past. The railways and water companies are all so much better and cheaper now they are in private hands.

Privatisation? Are you serious? Have you been reading the news lately? RBS? Barclays? IT problems? Outsourcing to India? Lowest bidders and lowest wages? Private Care Homes? The list goes on and on? For all its' faults, at least within the public sector, we couldn't then further outsource it to (yet) another foreign company.

I must be really thick because I've read his article about privatising the border control agency twice and I've still not worked out how the service will be funded if the tax payer is no longer footing the bill. Is he really proposing that they will just charge people a fee every time they enter the country?

Surely a privatised border control agency would result in a firm undrcutting current rates by using cheap Eastern European labour? A mailtard's wet dream.

I think what they imagine is Haliburton or Wackenhut guys dressed as SWAT people, and gunning down brown people on the Heathrow Tarmac. If it's more thought out than that, I'd be surprised.

1) Company awarded multi-billion pound contract.
2) Employees paid peanuts.
3) Frequent blunders lambasted in the DM et al, and questions asked in Parliament.
4) Company stripped of contract and directors retire to the Bahamas.

To be fair to this bloke, it might be drivel but he's a proper free market type. I've more time for that than the Talk Sport type who bangs on about free markets and then moans about Arabs buying the royal yacht.

I see the consistency, but am equally concerned by the swivel eyed zealotry of these people.
The "market" rules everything - like some invisible, all knowing deity; when it's obvious there's a whole caste of people devoted to fixing, rigging and unbalancing it.
"Market failures" are always attributed to "Not enough market" - do gooders, regulators and governments, preventing the market working properly.
Yet corporate abuse - Enron, Poly Peck, Lehmann Brothers, Barlow Clowes, Worldcom, Parmalat, Nortel, BAE Systems, BCCI, Barings, Guinness, American Airlines, MG Rover, News International, Union Carbide, Exxon, (I could go on) - gets a relatively free ride.

Like so many things, what they mean by "free" is "free to the right sort of people". Just as speeding is dangerous when done by a shell suited chav in a stolen Corsa, but quite alright when done by a sales executive in his Lexus.

Free markets, where PLU get the opportunity to exploit the natives and get a portion of BUMSEX with a servant girl along with their Sundowners is perfectly fine. When they insist on playing by the same rules is when this freedom lark's gone a bit too far.

That's UKIP all over.

Pandya does, to his credit, do unpopular libertarianism- eg road pricing- as well as the easy "stop making us recycle" stuff.

He's not very good though.

Rapists enjoy five choices of dinner in today’s luxury prisons

Quote:
No civilised society should afford prisoners the luxury of five meals.

It should be one or two choices, meat or vegetarian. That is that. There should not even be different meals for religious preference.
