Dear Mr. Darling,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing Britain'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 20 million people over 50 in the work force. - Pay them £1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Twenty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new British CAR. Twenty million cars ordered - Auto 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) Buy £50 of alcohol / tobacco a week 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 there falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances.

If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know. If not, please disregard.


There's always a Payback .... Don't know where n don't know when tho !!!!

if only it was that simple, i think it would fall down on on mps giving up their expenses bit, plus the w, sorry bankers that contribute to the partys coffers.

£20,000,000,000,000
That's 20 billion if your in the UK
Or 20,000 billion if your a yank.

Jess, Thats a fair pile of change mate, but it might just fly

edit: I think the uk may have lost the million million thing when we dropped the long scale in 74. They have in the media at least {before some one corrects the above}
