If You Could Change, Or Make A Law In The Uk..

[trt]

What would you change, or make new?

After watching a few of ''Cant Pay? we'll take it away'', on TV recently, it brought back some bad memories for me, of when I let out a house.

Its too long a story to tell, but the experience cost me £4,750, for rent arrears, and court cost.
The tenants got away Scot free, probably to repeat their actions again.

I think there should be a law, that if there is a problem of rent owing, the people should be put on a black list, a certain % taken from their income, or benefits to cover cost of damage to property , courts, bailiffs etc and pay back, even if they try and go bankrupt.

Apart from the money owing/lost, it was a very stressful, time consuming 18 months for me, and probably a lost worse for some others.

Ha ha, yes, Hopkirk, and it should also be illegal to say 'that's before my time' on Popmaster - would really please KB!

I knew a girl who borrowed and borrowed money and knew she did not have a hope in hell of paying it back, she then went for the bankrupt thing and paid back less than a tenth of the monies borrowed.
Couples who blame each other when a child dies.
Fly tippers.
MPs who fiddle their expenses.
All the above should carry a term in pokey, build more prisons and employ more warders , unemployment solved as well.

Even the medical profession is still unsure if castration would work. The urge to commit sex crimes is a psychological problem too.

People that go to concerts and think that everyone wants to hear them sing along with every fekin song should immediately be thrown in jail for the night.

Who is KB, goalie?

[Hopkirk]

Do'h, Ken Bruce.

I think Ken would support me wholeheartedly

Make people more accountable for their stupid actions. Example - If you end up in A&E through self inflicted excess of drink or drugs - you pay!
If you cant pay then community service.

I also like a three strikes & out - same crime 3 times - no mercy!
