I’d bring back a fully working representative democracy. Direct democracy (referendums) don’t work that well. A representative democracy (parliament) with the brightest and best in has to be the best way.
To get the brightest and best, I’d double or even treble MPs pay. When a head teacher can earn as much or more, what’s the incentive?
I’d make any outgoing government explain why they didn’t achieve their manifesto.
Lastly, I’d ban cats. Just because. Sly gits. |

"Insist upon ailines removing luggage / baggage weight restrictions, and scrap hold luggage fees - instead, charge passengers for their seats based on their body weight / BMI "
Was on a Ryanair flight where they tried doing this. If you weighed more than 90 kg you had to pay an extra amount of money. It didn’t go down too well. |

That's ridiculous! It should be done on how wide you are. If your spare tyre gets squeezed onto your next door seat for instance you should pay more for a wider, safer seat. |

People think this is discrimination against overweight people but it’s really much cleverer than that. As I said, on the trial flight I was on where this was tested there were a lot of tall people who had to pay the surcharge. Much screaming and losing of tempers, Ryanair wisely did not introduce it.
Btw. On another trial flight they gave out free drinks at the airport and then charged €20 to use the onboard toilet. Wasn’t popular either... |

Ask people to move to the wider seat if they are obviously struggling to fit into a standard seat. If they refuse, or the seats are already taken then they can catch another flight. The airline is quite at liberty to refuse service to anyone they like. Plus you and i are entitled to enjoy our own space when travelling by plane, without sharing it with the excess body parts of our neighbours. |

Seen this being done on some smaller aircrafts in the US. Makes perfect sense but do feel sorry for those being fat shamed. |

You can get that anywhere. The train for instance, not limited for space but the odour is bad. Who is going to ask them to leave? |

Ahh would this be humour? I’m afraid it’s lost on me really.
The only thing I need to happen at airports is safety and hopefully not to get sat next to someone who is a right royal pain in the article  |

Im not sure if we should put concerns over fat shaming before passengers comfort and safety. But it's a shame soo many people these days have let themselves get soo fat. Maybe the answer is to increase the size of the seats by 50%, obviously the price of tickets would have to increase to. |

"Im not sure if we should put concerns over fat shaming before passengers comfort and safety. But it's a shame soo many people these days have let themselves get soo fat. Maybe the answer is to increase the size of the seats by 50%, obviously the price of tickets would have to increase to."
The seats and spaces are not adequate for most people. You hear enough moaning about it so I say yes, increase the size and let us have a space that is reasonable. Nothing to do with size or weight. |

What is your constant need to lead the vanguard against the fat? Every thread possible. It’s the stuff of a psychologist’s wet dream. |

"Insist upon ailines removing luggage / baggage weight restrictions, and scrap hold luggage fees - instead, charge passengers for their seats based on their body weight / BMI
Was on a Ryanair flight where they tried doing this. If you weighed more than 90 kg you had to pay an extra amount of money. It didn’t go down too well.
That's ridiculous! It should be done on how wide you are. If your spare tyre gets squeezed onto your next door seat for instance you should pay more for a wider, safer seat.
How would that work in practice?
Ask people to move to the wider seat if they are obviously struggling to fit into a standard seat. If they refuse, or the seats are already taken then they can catch another flight. The airline is quite at liberty to refuse service to anyone they like. Plus you and i are entitled to enjoy our own space when travelling by plane, without sharing it with the excess body parts of our neighbours.
There's the potential unpleasant odour factor too..."
Are you suggesing that all fat people smell?? |

You realise that the weight distribution of a modern jet is changing continuously from engine start to shut down? However, as fuel load comes down so does the ability to control the Centre of Gravity. If waist lines continue to expand, you can expect to see controls over where people sit. The smaller the plane the more affect weight distribution has. If you started a flight with too much weight forward of the wing, usually the point of CofG, then you'd never take off.
Are we saying that it's ok for people to spill over onto their neighbours seats for hours on end as long as they don't feel shamed about the state that their bodies are in?
If you burned to death in an accident because your neighbour was so big you couldn't get passed them to an emergency exit, would you feel comforted that their feelings remained unharmed?
I see no difference in the lack of manners of somebody spilling onto my seat than if they lit up a cigarette, or got offensively d*unk. |

I don’t understand anything about plans or weight distribution on them. I’m sure google would tell me though.
On planes I see hand luggage that can barely be lifted up, bags of duty free not weighed. I see all shapes and sizes of people. I don’t believe in shaming people for whatever reason because it’s cruel and I’m not a cruel person.
You are talking extremes now. Size will not matter in an emergency because people will trample on anyone to get out, irrespective of size or weight.
You view of bad manners and mine are very different Clem.
All I will say is thank goodness you’re not Prime Minister |

Baggage has a maximum weight. Each bag is weighed. They know how many bags they have, and they know where they are distributed. I do think it's bad manners for a stranger's flab to encroach my personal space. If it happened i would complain to them, and to the cabin staff. I won't apologise for that. |

Education would be the ticket I would base my manifesto on. Bring back the cane, blackboard erasers, detention, lines and finally school uniforms. However, teachers would also have to smarten themselves up too and obey a code of uniform too.
Any parents who think their little darlings are harshly treated will receive a sympathetic ear, asked why their offspring should be treated differently and facile arguments will be summarily dismissed.
Of course this will lead to short term disruption but the sight of those dissenting families being put on coaches to the newly opened borstals and training establishments will soon have the rectifying effect.
Proper vocational training for those who are gifted in that area, to bring the country back to a respected industrial nation would also be on the agenda, whilst the students who still want to do “niche” degrees in dog grooming, media studies ( reading papers & watching tv), nail bar technology etc can of course still avail themselves of such delights, but will be subject to an extra 20% income tax levy to help pay for their accommodation costs, meals, tuition etc that are incurred during such studies.
I could include a couple of other things but wouldn’t want to appear radical. |

Not a dare. Just that I got jumped on in a recent thread and I was accused of saying things I didn't say.
Re your query at the end of the thread "Where has all the good looking women gone ?", the "Giro" I was referring to was in the thread "Shout out to the jobless ones" where I think the OP was trying to be provocative. |

"I'd bring back the stocks and public humiliation. It's just what the scum bags of today deserve. Fruit n' Veg seller's will make a killing selling off the old stock and for many it would be a good day out. Chucking rotten tomatoes at theiving scum will bring everyone together again.
But what if they stole so they could feed their family because their giro didn't come in time for the bank holiday?!
So if a guy smashes his way into your home, steals any jewellery and cash that he can, but does it to feed his family, you believe their should be no punishment?
I belive people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones or tomatoes...
Everyone has an excuse to be a criminal. It's just that civilised people resist the urge. "
Do they?
So, MP's don't fiddle their expenses?
People who have money don't avoid their taxes?
All crimes. |

It depends on circumstances, the severity of the crime and previous offences.
"Seduced", you haven't answered the question "So if a guy smashes his way into your home, steals any jewellery and cash that he can, but does it to feed his family, you believe their should be no punishment?". You are entitled to an opinion - may we hear it please? |

There’s consequences (punishment) that don’t publicly shame and humiliate people or encourage others to exact retribution and shame others and purports this to be entertaining. |

"Sterilization for paedophiles.
Im not sure you really understand what you are talking about. How would this solve the problem?
I was thinking it might stop then offending, and certainly reoffending. "
Well if you thought about it for a second more you might think that at present, if found guilty of this crime, they have a pretty bad time in prison and are not exactly invited to everyone's house party afterwards and everyone agree's its vile. So im not sure the consequences of crime factor too highly in their thinking. In fact there is very little evidence that higher levels of punishment really affect criminal behaviour. Especially around something like sex crimes against children.
I think in terms of re-offending you might be talking about castration and removing the desire? As otherwise once you have been sterilised there is nothing really to stop you carrying on as before.
There is some evidence that some people who have desires towards children would be open to being chemically castrated as they know what they want is wrong but have a desire that they struggle to manage.
Is that what you mean? |

I believe that every action has consequences.
Including yours!?!
In my head, I believe that everyone has the right to be heard. In my heart...
...I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. Not one I can win anyway.

Thankless bloody job, but it would be fun to drain the swamp and watch all parasitic mud dwellers crawling back to their mansions, then divert the funds they have been siphoning to important places like the NHS. |

Baggage has a maximum weight. Each bag is weighed. They know how many bags they have, and they know where they are distributed. I do think it's bad manners for a stranger's flab to encroach my personal space. If it happened i would complain to them, and to the cabin staff. I won't apologise for that. "
I appreciate that your wife may not have encroached her flab in anothers personal space when she was bigger, but when she was bigger and decided she didn't want to be so lost weight , did you speak like this then? |

I'd introduce lessons in schools that teach that blaming the poor and disenfranchised for what's wrong in the world might make you feel good and superior, but isn't going to address any actual problems. |

No no, i told her she was beautiful just the way she was, and in fact i really found larger women even MORE attractive... you know, because i still wanted to fuck her. |

I would introduce some kind of electronic tagging like in the running man for known criminals.
Shops, homes and public areas would have beacon like devices that emit a pulse at a specific radius that would give the tag wearer a few thousand volts if they got too close.
