And compulsory wellies, to stop your feet from getting wet and make sure no one slips over.
Anyone who might not be wearing them will be remanded in custody for a week, just to be sure.

fantastic idea, about time local government had to actually provide what we are forced to overpay for.

You miss the lunacy in the idiotic suggestion.
Any payouts will result in increased taxes, council or otherwise (though not for the work shy as usual)

yes it's a brilliant idea for the half wits who think it actually means they will get some money back and don't realise they will end up paying more money. Central govt gives local council less money== >local council can't perform the services ====. local council needs to pay (some) people more money (and most likely not the poor) ===> local council gets told off by govt ====> local council gets even less money =======> Local council has no other option but to UP Council tax. BUT seeing that Central govt gives them less money Local council will have to UP council tax by quite a high % and more OAP's go to prison because they refuse to pay and everybody loses out because you can be damned sure Central govt is not going to give everybody the money back they will be taking away from Local councils.

Then you can add to that the cost of assessing the whole thing.

Oh yes..consultants will have to be brought in to write a report on the feasibility of it all..and even though there might be some doubts, once Labour has decided it's a good idea they will go ahead. It will then be introduced and everyone will have to have some sort of database and an outsource company will have to handle all the payments OF course CAPITA will get the contract of managing all this and charge a fortune for doing so. After a year or two/three everyone will realise that the whole thing is a disaster and some Junior Minister will be made to pay...while the govt brings in more consultants to overhaul the entire system..not actually fixing anything BUT the system is already in place and they've gone too far to turn back now. I'm guessing IF this scheme does NOT get implemented the idea and consultation will cost 25-35mill. If it does get put in place it will cost 300-400mill before everyone realises it's a stupid idea and it will be overhauled.

and with more wrinklies going into the already overcrowded prisons allowing Ponce's and violent thugs off early to make room, not only will the cost of trying them and keeping them inside cost shitloads more and the extra work for the legal aid lawyers and CPS, making even less money available they will probably be able to move 1000's of more immigrants and their families into the wrinklies homes ,

It was the wicked witch (or Cherie Blair as you may know her) who capatilised big style and wouldn't give Tony sex unless he enforced the 'Human Rights' shit on this country.
I hope NuLabour pay for their sins in hell.
