Are these points too draconian?
144 Answers
I was recently repeatedly asked to outline 6 bullet points on the actions that I would take if I was in Number 10.
To which I replied:
Too late now, if you had asked this question 50 odd years ago, then perhaps we could have helped to solve some of today's problems.
1. All British passports to be considered void, on the granting of independence from British rule.
2. Limit immigration to include only self financing skilled persons.
3. Immigrants to learn English, and then to apply for British citizenship.
4. Ban on certain items of clothing that is alien to our culture.
5. No dispensations from the law of the land
6. Restrictions on the type of architecture, that is liable to change the face of English towns, cities and villages.
To which my original taunter was strangely 'As quiet as the grave'.
My points were more recently copied by another ABer to somehow prove his point, but once again all was quiet as the tumble-weed blew down the street.
I now enter these 6 bullet points once again, to ask ABers their opinions on them, and all I ask is for constructive non abusive answers.

Your most recent link to the DW is interesting, especially as you appeared to be keen to let this particular development/occupation stand.....
