Ruling the World

What would you do if you suddenly became empress/or of everything? Obviously we'd all stop wars, end world hunger etc etc, but what more personal things would you do?

I'd make us able to walk a mile in another persons shoes, so we'd get to know what it felt like to be NT and of course they would feel ours.

There are more personal things I'd like to be rid of like all members of the turnip family, BBQ's and people stating the bleeding obvious as though it's some sort of massive revelation.

I'd make shoe and clothing manufacturers make clothes and shoes in a wider range of sizes, shapes, colours and styles AND MOST IMPORTANTLY keep seeling jumpers althrough winter, and not just xmas jumpers, I want normal jumpers!

I'd make the internet work properly, like it used to, when you could search for something and actually get results matching your search criteria and not give you air fryers when you want wellingtons, stuff like that.

  • Abolish Car Insurance. Here, in Northern Ireland, you daren't head out without the 'significant other' yapping about how other drivers 'buy and sell ye'. I had to build up my confidence driving by heading places behind my Nan's back; because she would threaten me with emotional blackmail. (as if she was the only one who missed my Dad)

    End compulsory education. Schools have become indoctrination camps. Kids are no longer taught vital life skills. They're now viewed as inventory.

    Abolish Income Tax. As well as dramatically cut Government spending. And, also, decentralise the Banks. A return to sound, Gold-Based, money.

    End Foreign Ownership in UK Football. The shift, across Europe, is towards Fan-Ownership. Plus, stop the Thought Police from banning certain chants.

    Cut all diplomatic ties with the EU. They're the ones who destroyed our country. And Govern Ireland through mutual respect between the Pro-Irish and Pro-British; as opposed to 'Winner Takes All'.

    Declare Christianity as the National Religion. Men died preserving that Faith.

  • Not sure about making making education compulsory. School can be horrible but not having access to education may well be worse, but not learning academic schools starting with the 3 R's especially, are life skills too that most people can't do without. Just ask Afghan girls, who once again, who once again are not allowed to go to school. Life skills were more incorporated into the school curriculum than they are now, such as cooking, needlework and woodwork, except that when I was still there, there was a rule from 1840 that stipulated, girls had to do cookery and needlework, and boys, woodwork, which I hated. That got abolished though by the time my brother started.

    And I wouldn't cut off diplomatic ties with the EU. I live in the EU and now have dual citizenship, but I would have lost so many rights otherwise. I would still like the opportunity to move to another country in Europe if things go totally pear shaped here economically, or if I decide sea air (warm, sunny sea air, might be healthier for me. As it is, bit will be far more difficult to have my husband join me now. 

  • As an Irish traditional (pre-Vatican II) Catholic Patriot living in the U.K. 23 years as a conservative minded gay man 30 years in supermarket retailing, I agree with you there - yet because people have been so brainwashed and indoctrinated, bad behaviours and social problems of all kinds have crept in and frankly, the only way to deprogram people and correct these is draconian, harsh and severe enforcement of the rules of conduct that we do have, without exceptions nor excuses being accepted with severe and harsh penalties being brought in, starting with corporal punishment in the home by parents (and severe penalties if parents fail to do so) as well as in schools by teachers, by doctors, nurses and by police officers (who should be granted specific legal powers to administer corporal punishment when needed) “bring back the birch and the leather belt” as well as the restoration of capital punishment - many people simply do not know how to behave appropriately in public spaces and they make zero effort to correct and control their misbehaving children in public and frankly, I find this unacceptable behavior very irritating as I get older - in my day, if I behaved like that in public, I would have (quite rightly) been “slapped out of it” because with children (under 21) as a parent, you have to be relentlessly consistent with harsh, severe and firm discipline, which importance cannot be over-emphasised and it is vital that you cannot afford to let up even for a second - children need corporal punishment, as it is the only way that they learn anything of any real value, just look at how elderly people these days are routinely mistreated and abused
