Getting the UK out of debt.

Dear Mr Gordon Brown ...

This is how we could be out of debt ...

1. Politicians who seem to show outrage at greedy bankers should NOT claim for anything but the essentials, the UK is not a massive in profit corporation - where claiming a bit more to top up the salary is acceptable... Please ask all politicians to pay it back before they get 'fired' I would like to vote for the honest politician, but I don't think there are too many left!
Well, unsure how much this will save...

2. Google - stop leaching off the UK

100 million saved...

3. Reduce the number of nuclear weapons (particularly from abroad)

3bn saved.


4. Stop the ID card schema.

5 billion saved

so thats 8.1 Billion saved!

On a quick calculation, is that over 10% of the national deficit ?
