I was impressed with your views about this on GB News last night. But GB News constantly tells us that they present both side of an argument (there could be more views of course) but what it fails constantly to do is reach any agreement on what is the best option. Parliament is just the same. You didn't seem to have much influence on the Tory Party in its dying days. The fundamental problem we seem to have is how do we change what doesn't appear to be working and how do we know the correct action when there are so many opinions. My solution is a much smaller government and personal responsibility. We will learn from our mistakes, governments and politicians never do because as Thomas Sowell says - they never pay any price for being wrong.
The NHS cannot be reformed because it is a socialist concept which operates outside of a competitive market which means that productivity cannot be measured. "Free" treatments do not encourage healthy behaviour. The pharmaceutical industry does not help because it is based on treatments to guarantee an income stream and not cures and we have Rockefeller to blame for that. The regulators do not even guarantee that drugs are safe and effective as Covid vaccines demonstrate on a daily basis.
Your case for a demographic problem is based on not enough people to provide retirement benefits. This is another failed socialist concept. People need to save and invest for their retirement but there isn't much chance of that when the cost of living is so high. This is blamed on price increases due to inflation, but this is wrong. Inflation is the devaluation of of money by the central bank money printing. When we had valuable coins and money clipping it was obvious where the problem was, now we don't know the difference between a £1 created through production and a counterfeit pound created by the central banks. The central banks must be closed down.
Socialism has expanded its influence by promoting altruism and the meaningless common good resulting in uncontrolled migration. I have no objection to the movement of people but the must be able have the funds to buy or rent a house, a job or finds to support them and they must speak English. Such migrants will come because they want our way of life rather that coming for benefits and integration will be automatic.
Only this morning I saw a talk given by Milton Friedman on immigration in 1978 comparing immigration to the USA before 1914 when there were no restrictions on immigration. He asked why free immigration before 1914 was acceptable but not in 1978. The difference is it was free immigration for jobs but now it is free immigration for welfare. Free immigration for jobs worked for everybody, but with a welfare state free immigration is not possible.
I also disagree with your view that taxation should be used to encourage people to have children. How can that possibly correct. People have to want children, bribing them will only cause problems.
What we also have is state dependency for the elderly when families used to look after their elderly and then the state also took over child care. The state has destroyed family unity and family unit cannot be replaced by tax handouts.
I also believe that there are too many people and not enough jobs. You think automation is the answer, but it has reduced jobs. It is also obvious increases in productivity result in too many goods being produced. But because factories need an income stream we now have goods made deliberately unreliable and too complex to repair and there is constant pressure to replace with a newer and better model.
I don't know what sort of houses people want, but I don't want to see the ugly tower blocks and it is obvious that there isn't enough land to ensure that everybody has a house if that is what they want.
I am not convinced by AI, especially in schools. Schools need to teach how to think, which they haven't been doing for years.
I agree with your views on changes to tax and business regulation but who is going to implement any of this? I don't think that Reform will be the answer.
No doubt we'll soon have the view from America , They'll know everything about everything.Let's listen and then put it in the crap basket where it brings

I’ll leave the hor licking to you.
Thankyou Alan and Kind regards but I do think you should show a little bit more decorum and respect when describing Her Majesty the Queen Camilla.
