My 100 Goals: Crazy Idea 16 - Create full employment
http://my100goals.blogspot.com/2014/12/crazy-idea-16-create-full-employment.html
My original 100 goals. Monday, 1 December 2014. Crazy Idea 16 - Create full employment. Once I started looking into the UK Budget, I started playing around with the numbers and found an interesting fact: full employment in the UK is possible. According to the ONS. From July to September 2014, unemployment fell to 1.96 million. (CI016A). I can’t just state that government statistic without pointing out that according to The Guardian. Anyway. Minimum wage. A smidge under £25 Billion! It is a fact that ther...

My 100 Goals: November 2014
http://my100goals.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
My original 100 goals. Friday, 28 November 2014. Crazy Idea 15 - Require all companies operating in the UK to have a head office in the UK. Again and again when you read or hear news about companies avoiding paying tax we hear they have a head office outside the UK, usually in a tax haven somewhere. It doesn’t matter where the head office is based ( Luxembourg, Ireland, Bermuda. If we seriously want to fix the economy, we have to ensure that profits are not siphoned off out of the UK. As I wrote at the s...

My 100 Goals: September 2014
http://my100goals.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
My original 100 goals. Thursday, 18 September 2014. Freedom is a Sweet Word. Freedom is a sweet word – a word that resonates within me. A rebel cry that declares my desire for. For what? A little known band from the Eighties – Fat and Frantic – are responsible for that twist. I’ve had the lyrics for their song – Freedom is a sweet word – going round my head for weeks. An a capella number that still has the power to haunt me. We may gain independence after September 18. But will we gain justice? We have f...

My 100 Goals: Crazy Idea 33 - Accept responsibility for our lives
http://my100goals.blogspot.com/2015/01/crazy-idea-33-accept-responsibility-for.html
My original 100 goals. Friday, 16 January 2015. Crazy Idea 33 - Accept responsibility for our lives. If you're reading this blog it's likely you'll be an adult. In theory, being an adult means we are responsible for our lives. In practice, many adults abdicate responsibility. To a greater or lesser degree, many possibly never even realise they could or should be responsible for their actions. Movie spoilers will follow! This week I finally watched the movie: Lucy. Visually, Lucy as a film is extremely be...

My 100 Goals: Crazy Idea 29 - Forgive!
http://my100goals.blogspot.com/2014/12/crazy-idea-29-forgive.html
My original 100 goals. Thursday, 18 December 2014. Crazy Idea 29 - Forgive! If we want to fix the economy then we have to be willing to forgive. I started writing this series in anger but anger is not going to provide the foundation we need to build a strong economy. You’ve probably heard this statement: “ Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. At times I’ve allowed that anger to run into hate. Hatred towards our Prime Minister....But hatred ...

My 100 Goals: Crazy Idea 32 - Join a political party
http://my100goals.blogspot.com/2015/01/crazy-idea-32-join-political-party.html
My original 100 goals. Thursday, 8 January 2015. Crazy Idea 32 - Join a political party. I knew my last post. Trigger Warning: discusses abortion. This post also discusses abortion and the brutal murder of 12 journalists who worked for Charlie Hebdo] would be controversial. I hadn't realised how much. My wife came home yesterday talking about how it was okay so long as no-one came to our house with machine guns. (CI032A). I had no idea what she was talking about. Or fixing the economy for that matter?
