Dear Mr. Cameron,

Please find below our suggestion for fixing the UK's economy.

Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the
money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.

You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force.

Pay them £1 million each severance for early retirement with the
following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire.
Ten million job openings - unemployment fixed

2) They MUST buy a new British car.
Ten million cars ordered - Car Industry fixed

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage -
Housing Crisis fixed

4) They MUST send their kids to school/college/university -
Crime rate fixed

5) They MUST buy £100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week .....
And there's your money back in duty/tax etc

It can't get any easier than that!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back
their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances

If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know.

Also………..
Let's put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in a nursing home.

This way the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies and
walks.

They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical
treatment, wheel chairs etc and they'd receive money instead of paying
it out.

They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped
instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance.

Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed
and returned to them.

A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and
snacks to their cell.

They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.

They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual
counselling, pool and education.

Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ's and legal aid would be free, on
request.

Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with
gardens.

Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls.

There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards
would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to.

The criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised.
Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and
pay £600.00 per week and have no hope of ever getting out.

Think about this (more points of contention):

COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad
cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Appleby
almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the
county of Cumbria?

And, they even tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable
to locate 125,000 illegal immigrants wandering around our country.
Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

Seen this before, it done the rounds even when labour were still in charge.

Great in theory :)

well isnt it lovely in theory - not gonna work though.

You really think if the govt gave me £1million I'd stick around?

And by the time most folk reach 50 their kids are more than likely going to be past the usual age for college and will probably have already engaged in a life of crime (if they are so inclined)...

You're nowhere near the qualifiying age, back of the que please ;)

I'll be 50 this year, my eldest is 13, the youngest is 6, so plenty of time for them to go to college or uni and not likely to be engaged in a life of crime, except robbing my wallet :D

Where do I sign :p

Do I get to go and work abroad and then come back for my million when I'm 50?
I'll even come back at 49 and work for a year to qualify for the magic million....

No because by the time you get back you will be classed as an illegal immigrant;)

Yeah, but Scotland will be independent by then and will be glad to see me back to return their earlier investment in me...so I'll still get my million.

Don't forget your passport as the border checkpoint will be built at Scotch Corner

It's ok - I'll be flying in on my private jet (midwifery pays well in other countries!) direct to the Capital. ;)

Surely we'd not build a check point in England? Seems a bit random, closer to the border would make more sense.

Clan Alex Salmond will have invaded by then, but couldn't find their way any further south :D

Hmmm...

I'd also like to know what the heck I'm supposed to do with the £100 of alcohol and fags I'm supposed to buy each week, I mean, I couldnt drink it, I'd die of liver failure in the first week... and I abhor smoking... And I presume the illegals (and their cows) would all be rounded up - so I couldnt sell it on. My peer group would also be stowed out with fags and booze so I cant even palm it off as presents to them....

The more I think about this plan the more flawed it is....

Tell the illegals their free cow is on the Isle of Wight,

One problem solved

There will be a one way exit system...

And Scottish cows are far too good to "donate" to illegals, even if we are taking them back once we find them.

Why dont we send them to france, friesian cows would cost less for the govt to buy in the first place...

Spiffing idea, there's more room up there for cows and illegals

I hate "funny" emails like this.


1) They MUST retire.
Ten million job openings - unemployment fixed

A bunch of young idiots who don't know what they're doing suddenly find themselves in charge of huge companies without enough experience to run them. Bankruptcies abound.

2) They MUST buy a new British car.
Ten million cars ordered - Car Industry fixed

So is that a high emissions Jaguar, a high emissions Aston Marton, a high emissions Land Rover, or a Chinese 'Rover'?

[3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage -
Housing Crisis fixed

Except, they'll all go and buy a second house in the countryside and keep their existing one. Housing Crisis f***ed further!

4) They MUST send their kids to school/college/university
Crime rate fixed

School is a legal requirement. College/university for what, a worthless degree in theatre lighting/military history/Lady Gaga? Then they all come out with these stupid degrees and all get jobs in call centres. Hang on, THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED! And there's not enough jobs to go around (especially given how many large firms will go bust as per point 1) so there's a lot of desperate, angry young people around to become criminals.

5) They MUST buy £100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week .....
And there's your money back in duty/tax etc

This has already happened too.

Let's put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in a nursing home.

I'd prefer to put cretins who write stupid chain emails like this in jail, you can share a cell with Big Bubba and his previous bitch, that berk who wrote that 'Notification of Revocation of US Independence'. No, it wasn't John frickin' Cleese.

Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

Maybe you should f*** right off? Or run for office, since you've got all the answers.
