It is almost sad that some people refuse to enter the 21st Century.
Viva La Revolution.
not that you look like her Vlad
Vlad having never met me you seem to have a very strong opinion about me.
always assume everyone else is wrong
It is clear that you have the benefit over me of a higher standard of education.

For a start get Scotland to leave the United Kingdom, it only hinders our development by placing all the most important economic and political control in London. If anybody wants to challenge this take it to the Independence thread...
End this neo-liberal agenda. The rest of Europe is rejecting it and it is only really the UK (and a few easy to convert former Soviet nations) that follows this US pattern. Let Thatcherism die when Thatcher dies.
Join the euro, the pound works only for the benifit of the stock exchanges in London. Ask yourself whether it really is OUR sovereignty, when it is controlled by the Bank of England and has the queen of England plastered on its coins and notes.
Ignore the neo-liberal EU rules, and nationalise the most important industries and public services, in particular the oil industry, which would deliver a short term but important drive to the economy. Nationalise transport and destroy the private monopoly that is First. This idea is in fact far from outdated, it came after the philosophy of excessive private ownership...
Allow the trade unions greater power, actively encourage pressure groups. It makes the government fear the people, and not the other way around as it is at present.
Create companies actually based in Scotland, not just financial ones but also manufacturing companies, producing high quality goods that still have an egde over cheap imports. This will create large amounts of jobs. Make it illegal to create head offices in London, indeed cut off most ties with England altogether. Its dominance should not be allowed to creep back.
Now Im sure you will say that these ideas aren't '21st century' but at least they dont hark back to the time of Adam Smith... ::):
