Caveat

 
The DR Manifesto...

Manifesto
I'm not standing for office. I'd be a shite politician, partly because I'm unpleasantly honest and partly because I hate wearing suits... If I wasn't, this is what I'd be campaigning on...
(26 Feb 2007)

Main Topics...

Make Drugs Legal
Prohibition doesn't work, duh! It gives too much money to organised crime... Updated: Letter to the Telegraph 'Alcohol and Tobacco are the gateway drugs - if there is such a thing...'
(Upd: 11 Mar 2006)

Errant Fathers
How can fathers be expected to 'take responsibility' for their kids when the law always presumes in favour of the mother? I got a reply - and here's my reply to that Welfare and Compensation Culture = No Legal Responsibility
(Upd: 11 Mar 2007)

A New Political System
A solution for: Party Funding, Reform of The House Of Lords, and it incidentally makes the whole voting process far more democratic...
(Upd: 25 Feb 2007)

Principles
My principles of government.
(Upd: 25 Feb 2007)

Road Pricing
Tony Blair and the entire Labour Government are cretins... Road pricing has to be the most hare-brained scheme ever - devised by the evil cretinous muppets from hell - the Politicians...
(19 Feb 2007)

Old People
Old folks have no respect in our culture. That is so wrong!...
(18 Feb 2007)

Poverty
How do we define poverty? How do we reduce it? Well, not taxing the poor would help...
(18 Feb 2007)

Europe
The EU is a criminal organisation intent on conquest...
(Upd: 30 January 2007)

Cash for Honours
Why would anyone give money to a political party?..
(16 January 2006)

Social Security
A fresh approach to the problem of how to provide social security...
(15 January 2006)

David Cameron
David Cameron and the Conservative Party...
(12 December 2006)

Random Rants
Some random musings...
(12 November 2006)

Prisons
If prisoners are 'paying their debt to society' - why is is so damn expensive to keep them?
(21 October 2006)

Tax
Taxes kill businesses and people.
(16 October 2006)

Free Speech
Some peoples brains work overtime trying to figure out how to turn opinions into insults...
(14 October 2006)

Health
Why are tax-payers footing the bill for sex-change operations and IVF?
(13 October 2006)

Law
British law is stupidly complex and inefficient. You'd never design a system like that...
(13 October 2006)

Education
Educators need to aim higher, and politicians need to butt-out.
(12 October 2006)

Security
It was a no-brainer that invading Iraq with Bush would cause more grievances than it solved. When has starting a war ever brought peace?
(8 October 2006)

The Environment and Sustainablility

DR Blogs On The Environment

  • NEW (7/7/7): A Solution To Rising Sea Levels (Due to Global Poxy Warming) - Engineering on a scale that Brunel would be proud of. Reclaiming the deserts, dropping sea levels, using up CO2... It's a win-win situation again...

  • Global Bloody Warming - We hear about it every bloody day... THE SOLUTION TO GLOBALS WARMING IS SIMPLE - DROP TAXES ON SUSTAINABLY PRODUCED PRODUCTS AND ENERGY. God dammit - I keep ranting about this, but do they listen?

  • Sustainability - This is a no-brainer. You can only have what you can afford, but if you're clever - that can be a lot!

  • Cycle Paths - Cycling on UK roads is just plain dangerous. Why can't we have proper cycle routes like they do in Holland? Maybe then people could cycle to work - get fitter, reduce emissions - without getting mown down.

  • Housing Shortage - Housing in the UK is in short supply - because of too much government interference. We don't need to encrust the land with scummy low-cost housing - we need loads more really beautiful homes at the top of the market - and this would push all prices down making ALL properties more affordable - while making the country look much nicer (and less poor!)

  • Tourism - The UK is a crap place to holiday - at least compared to what it could be like. Our seaside towns are full of skaggies and unemployed - because no-one goes there any more. If we holidayed in our own country - we'd all be richer...


 

Letters I've Written To Various People / Muppets

 

An exchange of emails (UKIP)...

  1. UKIP and the Principle of Independence
  2. The Solution to Global Warming: No Taxes on Renewables
  3. Nuclear Power vs. Renewable Energy
  4. Some People Value Opinions More Than Facts...
  5. A Plan to Halt Global Warming
  6. AGW as Political Leverage
  7. It Is Irrelevant Whether GW Is Anthropogenic Or Not
  8. Storing Electrical Power In The Grid
  9. David Cameron Has Been Paying Attention
  10. Three Levels Of Renewable Energy
  11. A Critical Misunderstanding
  12. The EU's 15% Target For Renewables

Ongoing discussion with UKIP representative Derek Norman.

He thinks we should spend more on nuclear fusion research, and I don't disagree, but waiting for fusion is not an energy policy...

It has brought to my attention this 'Cult of Opinion' we seem to have in the UK:

Everyone is entitled to their opinion - even if it fucking stupid.

We're supposed to respect peoples right to espouse opinions on subjects they know nothing about... We're supposed to respect their right to have not engaged their brains at all in the installation of that opinion...

Well, in my (possibly somewhat arrogant) opinion, people should be tested to prove they can read, write and follow a logical argument before being allowed to vote.
