OUR country needs a thorough debunking and sensible laws passed for the 21st century.

I fail to understand how anyone could have voted for years more ruin under Labour. Their policies deliberately keep everyone poor.

The present system of council tax is as wicked as the historical window tax.

Everyone enjoys the benefits of civilisation, running water, electricity, sewerage, refuse collection and roads being swept etc, whether they live in a rabbit hutch or a 40 roomed mansion.

Everyone should pay £2 per week stopped at source and councils told "Work with that and stop squandering." The really rich pay the earth in income tax.

It is criminal wickedness to "fine" people for being ill, one woman was in a nursing home for six years and it cost her daughter £80,000. The idea of making people pay for three years is terrible.

Drunken oafs who commit vandalism and squander all their lives and have nothing get looked after free. Why not charge long term care at £40 per week from their pensions to cover food and laundry?
