Of course any western leader willing to do that runs the risk of ending up like President Kennedy did when he ordered the US Treasury to put the US Federal Reserve out of Business by Printing US Treasury Bills, backed by Silver rather than Borrowing Federal Reserve notes backed by nothing but thin air.
5 months after signing executive Order 11110, he was dead.

You think that TV, radio and newspapers will improve if they completely have to rely on advertisers? Wonderful! If by “improve”, you mean lowest-common-denominator reality TV, makeover shows, shopping channels, and those late night quiz shows that are purely funded by premium rate idiots phoning premium rate numbers…

And what’s your next point? Oh yes: Because I *don’t* think immigration is the cause of congestion, you say I must think that the way to solve “congestion, land fill, pollution, housing shortages, terrorism and rising crime levels” *is* through mass immigration. Talk about putting word in my mouth – Priceless, I mean really priceless!

And now, let’s look at the final gleaming jewel on your oh-so-stupid crown: The way to solve the problem of having to pay for things is simple – Get people to print their own money.

Now, I’m no psychologist, but I know that people like money. I know that people would therefore print *lots* of money. One pound, one billion pounds – which note would you print off?

Do you know what happens when you have lots of money? Inflation or even hyperinflation. Think Germany pre-WW2, or Zimbabwe in more recent years: Notes that lose all value because someone just shoves a nought on the end. One wheelbarrow full of notes to buy a loaf of bread, don’t even think about buying a car.

Please reply, and do share some more of your ideas. You’ve really helped open my eyes!

As for Roads, yes of course they should be free, they are Public utilities, they allow this country to get to work.

Where does the money come from to maintain the roads, well currently we borrow it, at interest, why dont we Print it instaed and use this to pay the Public servants who maintain the roads.

As for Immigration, are you suggesting that the way to solve Congestion, loand fill, Pollution, housing shortages, terrorism rising crime levels is through mass immigration.

What do you prefer Trees or concrete and 100 Million people.

Similarly We coin our own money to pay our armed forces, the polices, the Nurses etc.

All Free, and issue that into our Economy, what exactly is the problem.

Do you really think we should continue Borrowing our Money At interest from Offshore banks.

No, I’m not Joking, imagine if you were a Sovereign nation, would you rather coin your own money of Borrow the same worthless bits of paper at full face value and at interest.
From me.

Why do you want to pay for things that are not necessary.

There is simply no need to pay income tax to pay for the Police and Armed forces, nurses, roads etc.

There’s nothing in your post to say that you’re joking, but you are, please?

2: How idiotic. Firstly, wherever roads are needed, there’s no space to build them because stuff (homes, shops, etc) are in the way. Secondly, put another road in, or widen an existing one, and more cars fill it.

3: Caravans are annoying, but they don’t cause congestion problems like the known issues do – roadworks, accidents, two lanes going into one, high level of car ownership, poor public transport etc

4: The ‘pretext’ of investigating a crime scene? What on earth are you saying? The police enjoy closing motorways? They do it for fun.

A few suggestions:

Road digging
No unscheduled (minimum 3 months’ notice) digging up of roads. Emergencies only, ie leaking gas, water, broken electricity or telco main, dangerous pot-hole. No simultaneous road-digging in adjacent or parallel roads, extended by area in case of major trunk roads. All road-digging operations must run 24/7 in shifts to complete work faster. Financial penalties against contractors who fail to meet agreed deadlines.

Traffic light scheduling
Reverse Livingstone’s sabotage in this area, and further improve from there. Introduce left hand turn filters at junctions wherever possible. I pass through two junctions every day (Brentford to Alperton) where this could be done. We just sit there like lemons for no reason.

Introduce incentives for all freight that is delivered at night. Congestion charge cannot do this: £8 is no saving at all in this context.

Convert zebra crossings to pelicans where appropriate. Some zebras are so busy that the traffic can barely get through them, especially during rush hour.

Remove traffic lights from roundabouts. (I know – elf and safety – it’ll never happen).

I could go on.

Credit where its due: 1) the water mains replacement in my area has been done very well considering the enormity of the job, even though they’ve fallen well behind their schedule. 2) The current experiment to extend bus lane use to motorcyclists is a Good Idea, hope they implement.

Come on, Boris. Get it sorted.

Glyn H (above): You answered your own question there: just vote UKIP and be done with it.

…………………………

Roads should be free, Tv, and Internet should be free, how would we pay for it I hear you ask, simple, we simply Print our own money free of charge instead of Borrowing it at interest from Offshore bank(er)s.

We are being farmed.
