BRING BACK THE BRADBURY POUND AND WIPE OFF THE NATIONAL DEBT. Bring Back The Bradbury Pound! It is the centenary of the Bradbury Pound, which, while it could only have come about because of the First World War, represents an historical precedent which offers an opportunity for an optimistic future. Let’s remember how the Bradbury came about: in 1914 the banks, feaful of a bank run as a result of nervousness over the coming war, demanded action from the government of the day to prevent their impending insolvency. The government issued interest free Treasury Notes in order to keep the banks afloat, signed by Secretary to the Treasury Bradbury, hence the name. Read more here.
BICYCLES ON THE ROAD
Riding a bicycle on the roads isn’t the same as driving a motor vehicle on the roads. This obvious fact should be acknowledged in the Highway Code. The SOS Party proposes that bicycle riders shouldn’t be made to stop at zebra crossings if no one is crossing. Of-course at traffic junctions, bicycle riders should adhere to the same rules as vehicle drivers. But on the whole the stringent rules placed upon vehicles shouldn’t be placed upon bicycles.

CRIME & ORDER
To cut the spiralling crime rates in our society the police need to take control of every street corner in the country. The SOS Party proposes a new kind of street gang, made up of police officers. We must be as tough as the criminals. We cannot continue to treat them with kid gloves. We must fight fire with fire and treat the criminals in the manner they treat their victims- without mercy. In essence I’d legalise the Black Market. If there are going to be drugs pushed on the streets, then they will be pushed in a controlled manner under the authority of the police. If someone is to be punished for a misdemeanour, then the punishment will be delivered in a controlled manner under the authority of the police. Everything that happens on the streets of Britain must be done with the OK, of the street gang, more powerful than any street gang that has ever operated before- the police.

DRUGS
I consider the prohibition of all drugs to be a contributing factor in the decline of society, the root cause of social unrest and crime. I propose the legalisation of all classes of drugs. If hard drugs such as crack cocaine, heroin and other such extreme drugs, were dispensed from controlled and designated outlets, the users will stop committing crime to feed their habits. The reduction in crime would be biggest benefit of legalizing drugs. Drug users will no longer need to resort to crime to feed their habit. Recreational users will no longer be classed as criminals for partaking in an activity that harms no one, but them-selves.
This will allow the police to concentrate their efforts in clearing the streets of drugs users. Future generations will never again worry about drug dealers hanging around the school gates, because drug dealers as we know them, will be a thing of the past. The present day generation of drug addicts will be able to continue feeding their habit, leading a useful and contributing life until they die. And because of these radical and revolutionary proposals being put into place, drug addiction will be a consigned to the pages of history.
It should be a freedom of every responsible adult to decide for them-selves what substances they wish to take, as long as it doesn't affect the well being, health and safety of others.
I was once told a story by a lady who worked with politicians during the Thatcher years. She told me that a trial was conducted in a borough of London, in which all the heroin addicts were supplied heroin free of charge, dispatched from the local health centre. Statistics showed that crime levels in the borough were reduced by a massive 80% and the heroin addicts treated were able to find work and lead productive and stable lives. The heroin supplied was free from contaminates found in heroin sold on the street. The story ends with the minions of Margaret Thatcher, too afraid to tell her of the trial's success. As a result the trial was abandoned. 30% of the heroin addicts involved died with-in a month. The shock to their bodies of receiving dirty heroin compared to the clean heroin supplied was too much of a shock for their bodies to bare.

PRISONS & JUSTICE
First & foremost I have no great concern for the dignity of convicted criminals. Crime should not be tolerated as a career option and must be seen not to pay. The human rights of these people should be lost upon conviction. This compliments the SOS principle of ‘Treating people in the manner you want to be treated’. If you disregard the human rights of another, then in doing so you forfeit your own human rights. I’m in favour of the death sentence, for people found guilty of murder against children. Of-course this is dependant on the reform of our judicial system. We don’t want innocent people killed. This can be avoided with the use of DNA finger printing. In the 21st century with the use of DNA technology, no innocents should ever be sent to their deaths. I propose radical measures such as laying out a hangman’s noose on the bed, whenever a convicted child murderer enters their prison cell. I’m open to the prospect of doing away with the jury of 12 men and women, replacing the decision making with a computer.

SPEEDING FINES & PARKING TICKETS
I’d ensure the cessation on fines imposed for minor speeding offences and some forms of illegal parking. The vast majority of speeding cameras should be pulled down and replaced with speed indicators. Everyone knows that they are an unjust tool which the government uses to collect yet another indirect tax. Of-course people who drive without care and attention and who recklessly exceed the national speed limits should be brought before the courts, based on speed camera evidence and punished accordingly. There are millions of examples of people exceeding the national speed limit by 5-10 mph, who have been forced to attend court, treated as criminals and forced to pay hefty fines. Speed cameras should be used as an educational tool, to make the driver aware of their speed. Driving 5-10 mph above the 30 mph speed limit, on a deserted road during the early hours of the night, is different from driving 5-10 mph over the 30 mph speed limit, whilst travelling outside a school during the lunch break. Our courts are all too eager to state that travelling above the speed limit is a crime and any excuse for doing so, is inadmissible in a court of law. Wrong, wrong, wrong. There is a grey area in this subject that needs to be addressed and respected.
Under my leadership parking tickets will only be imposed if it proves the vehicle is parked in a position that holds up the flow of traffic and which brings danger to pedestrians and other road users. Never again should motorists be fined for parking their cars in residential areas, where their parked car is having no detrimental effect on the flow of traffic or the safety of pedestrians and other road users.

TAXATION
I haven’t got a Tax policy yet, but why should we pay tax at all? Though I see a good argument for getting rid of tax altogether. (Most of our tax is spent on the interest payments of our national debt anyway.) I need more questions answered before a considered policy can be put forward. I don’t believe the rich should pay more taxes to compensate the poor. But I do think the best way forward will be for the tax system be simplified, easy to understand and easy to use. I see it going one of two ways. We tax the country at the highest level, be it 95%, and in return abolish VAT, Council tax, tax on alcohol, cigarettes, etc, essentially lowering the price of living to its absolute minimum. Or we tax the country at the lowest level, be it 5% and in return make the public pay full price on all the essentials of life, such as health, education etc. I need to hear your ideas on this. How we tax and pay for the running of our country is a major concern for all of us and must be agreed upon by all.

TRANSPORT
I want billions of £££’s spent on a 22st century public system that connects every corner of Britain. Our British transport system cannot deal with breakdowns and disturbances on its transport infrastructure. This implies that we need a new transport infrastructure all together.
In the 1940-50’s, Britain invested in the creation of the motorway system, in the 21st Century Britain must invest in a transport system that surpasses all other transport systems in the world. We must strive to build a transport system that is free for all the people, all the time.

IMMIGRATION
I appreciate that the subject of immigration is a controversial one. Everyone has either met or has had dealings with an immigrant.
For a quick fired response to the problem of immigration, I say- Immigration, what problem?
I don’t believe we have a problem with immigration. There are just as many people leaving our country as there are arriving.
Our politicians are apportioning the blame onto the immigrants flowing into our country. They are brainwashing the British people to blame immigration for our problems, shifting the blame away from them-selves to someone else.
The only reason we have a problem with immigration is because the politicians haven’t invested, as they should have, in the infrastructure off our nation, the health care of our nation and the housing of our nation.
Remember I stand for love, friendship and trust. I won’t begrudge desperate souls coming into our country for a better way of life.
The SOS Party stands for unity, a world without borders, a world and society in which we work together for a common goal regardless of one’s nationality and birthplace.
Of-course there is a problem with foreign peoples coming into our country and receiving preferential treatment over and above British citizens. This is unfair, of-course it is. Why should a family born and breed in Britain, who have been waiting for a council house for many years, be put back down the list in favour of making place for a family fleeing their native country. But we mustn’t blame the immigrant for this; we must blame the politician for creating this situation.
It’s an admission our politicians would never dare admit. But it must be acknowledged.
One thing I don’t like about immigrants is the word ‘immigrants’, the same for ‘asylum seekers’.
Two words used by our politicians and media to de-humanise people. Because that is what they ultimately are, people. People like you and I, who love our family and friends. Who strive for a better and safer life for their children and who work hard for the life they want.
Replacing the word ‘people’ with ‘immigrants’ and ‘asylum seekers’, takes away their humanity. This is something we must acknowledge; immigrants and asylum seekers are the same as you and I, people.
In another world and in another time we have all immigrated, seeking a new land and a new future. Let’s not begrudge the people of the 21st century for doing the same.
