What campaign would you start?

[bobmac]

You've just won the lottery, you've left work and now you need a reason to get up in the morning.
Money no object (within reason), what campaign would you start?
Doesnt have to be golf.

Mine would be

banning silly trousers,
tour sticks,
middle lane drivers and
MP's expense accounts for starters.


There may be more to follow as it's a quiet day

Campaign that no able bodied person gets hand outs without earning them (charity work, local clean up etc ) if you are on job seekers you are able to work so you should be doing community work .. In dont mind my taxes going to the ones that cant , i do object it going to the ones that wont ..

EDIT i deleted the others before posting as theyd only (deservadly so) get modded .. doing warranty paperwor so have a snot on and i was geting carried away , .

Strictly enforced speed limits in urban areas...

Par 3's that require a driver...

Do away with the House of Lords...

OK... Any hole that requires a driver should have a lay up option...

In these straitened times - the reinstatement of Sumptuary Law (which would be ironic in the context of the OP question)

I'd start a campaign that people who win the lottery must get lessons in the meaning of irony before condemning others for getting money they didn't get through hard work.

Ban London weighting.
Let them see how the rest of the UK can survive without these handouts to the rich.
Same price and conditions throughout the UK for petrol and post.

Stop winter fuel payments to pensioners earning more that £20k pa or living in warm countries.

Sumptuary Law

As in sumptuous - "Laws made for the purpose of restraining luxury or extravagance, particularly against inordinate expenditures in the matter of apparel, food, furniture, etc."

 

[CMAC]

no campaigns about irrelevant minor annoyances- I'd make some real positive contributions to help needy people especially children, homeless and the sick.

Same cost to rent/buy in SE as elsewhere first though please... Then we might be "rich"...

 

[Fader]

The only campaign i'd start is one from my own lottery induced pocket to help those in need. Plenty of children that could do with a good home, good meal and some help with education. Thats where my money would go to help those kids to have a future to look forward to rather than a past they wished they could forget.

I know the meaning of Irony thank you ..

These are my feelings now , that i am working 2 jobs thanks , no medical card , no doctors card ,no hand outs with the exception of childrens allowance (child benifit over ye'r neck of the woods )

i only would be in the position financialy or time wise to campaign against it if i won the lotto (too busy working presently) & i wouldnt be campaigning for myself at this stage (obviously) but for the others that are in my position now .. working 5 days & 1 or 2 nights for to pay taxes for those that wont work (no objection to the ones who have worked for years & got let off etc , they have contributed to society)

experience rather than irony

I'm better off and live in a bigger house since leaving London, same job and same salary minus london weighting.
I now live in a 4 bed house in a nice area of bristol, that I own, versus renting a one bed flat in an ok area of London.

Additional cost of living in London is not even nearly covered by what most companies offer as London weighting.

contradiction in terms..........and it's golfers who live for the weekends

 

[Foxholer]

middle lane drivers

With you on that one!
Along with...
Cameras on every 2nd or 3rd lamp-post in build up areas (30/40mph), with only some turned on!
85mph speed limit on Motorways - also strictly enforced.
and
Bans for having Rear Fog Lights on when it's not foggy!

I would bring in a breeding test. to obtain a licence to have a child you must first pass the rooter test. (i have named it already)

IQ above 90
BMI below 25
not be ugly (i am still working on the scoring mechanism to this)

Basically, i am wanting to create a super race. similar to Hitler, but i think my implementation will be slightly less harsh as people can believe in what ever god they want etc, not bothered about that as long as they don't bother me with their views. ;-)
