A willingness to fight for what we have and what we want from life.
By fight, I am not talking physical fighting but having the broadness of back to do something for yourself and others rather than relying on others to help yourself.
Selfishness has replaced selflessness in many areas of society. |

We stop worrying about the rest of the world and sort our own shit out.
We restart manufacturing in the UK and understand that we primarily sell to ourselves first and the rest of the world second.
We stop thinking that the only way we make money in this country is through London based businesses.
The police, teachers and parents are given back the power to bring up children in a structured, caring environment with rules, boundaries, love and respect.
We re-distribute the income generated from taxation fairly to the those areas which are important to the country, that the taxation system is a fair one which does not exempt the wealthy, unfairly focus on those with a 'middle income' and ensures that companies pay a fair taxation for doing business here - without loophole or exemption.
We have a properly funded welfare system, which stops the 'Benefit trap', recognises that some people cannot work (and does not penalise them unfairly) and that for everyone else it genuinely helps and encourages them to get back into work.
I have more, but you get the idea!  |

No, though I wish we had more Clement Attlee's in today's political landscape rather than the self-serving ass-hats we have today.
I don't hold any political affiliations and I'm very apolitical - unless there is a 'Common Sense' party - which I'm all for! |

pay politicians more!
get the best talents into the house of commons. allow them to debate without the influence of the whip (no pun!) and to do what is right and not what the papers think is right or what they hope to be popular.

I think we should build a 50 foot wall just north of Cumbria and all walk round pretending to be Rob Stark and John Snow, the character not the TV news man. |

c £65,000 for a 24x7 job, often away from home, always in the public eye, liable to dismissal every 5 years (or often) regardless of your personal performance in the job?
No thanks. |

"What do you think would put the Great back in Britain ? "
Some have lived in this country with the tag of "Great Britain".
Some will never have heard it called "Great Britain", just England.
Some will never hear or see it again unless we reinvent & look at past decades from the 20's to the 60's.
A country that cannot defend itself, cannot feed itself, cannot manufacture for itself & a country that cannot support its own birth people is in my opinion a poor deluded country.
My long answer to this question would probably over take War & Peace.
"Great Britain" used to be Great. |

I think we should concentrate more on what's good about our countries instead of continually pointing out the bad. I think we are Great in comparison to places that have far fewer freedoms than we do.
Everyone.seems to have lost hope and moans about how awful it is here but we have an awful.lot going for us. |

Britain's still great,and though we have problems,contrary to what many believe,there's never been a time when we didn't have problems.
it's just that,Nostalgia tends to wear rose tinted glasses.
Have a look round,where else would you rather be. |

who knows! I'm pretty good at pontificating but if it was down to me to run the country I think we'd probably be in a worse mess and I'd always be in the ladies when the important bit at conferences came up  |

"Conscription would cost a darn site more than a TA expansion"
maybe in the long term yes..
the incentives being offered to soon to be redundant personnel to become TA are according to a retired CO quite generous..
they need to make it look like the policy in cutting to the bone will have not been of detriment to the defence of the realm etc..

65K a year for 5 years guaranteed. You don't have to turn up for work. All manner of expenses allowed. You can work for others even if there is a conflict of interests in how you vote in paiament. Lie, cheat and only do what serves your own purpose. Given hold plated pensions. I've never seen a poor ex poilitician....And you want to pay them more? |
