As I have said before both Riski and Stammer are not going to be able to solve the countries problems without loads of money—which we haven’t got. Stopping the boats didn’t work and prison doesn’t work.

At the last count there were 660,000 asylum seekers awaiting their application being assessed and more arriving every day. This is not going to stop, so we need a more positive approach. They are not allowed to work while their application is in a lengthening queue, so they sit on their hands in hotels that cost taxpayers millions. Eventually 59% of applications are approved, but while they are waiting they learn no new skills and nothing of our culture, other than that we are not a very welcoming country.

In prison there is another group of people not working. There are 89,000 people also sitting on their hands and learning no new skills, other than maybe how to commit more crimes. 55% of prisoners serving less than 1 year reoffend. Each year they spend locked up costs £46,696 each, at a total cost of £6.1 billion annually.

The Last Laugh Looney Party has a creative solution to both of these issues, which will also solve another major issue which our timid, wasteful politicians have talked a lot about but completely failed to address. That is poor housing conditions and a significant shortage of new houses.

It requires thinking outside the box and some wartime rapid decision making. The LLLP idea is to create a “Freedom Workforce” from all the sitting-on-hands people in exchange for improving their skills, their long term job prospects and a pathway to citizenship or being reintegrated into society.

The Freedom Workforce will work for nothing to start with and therefore cost no more to the taxpayers for the first year, until they have acquired enough skill to be economically productive. Thereafter they will be paid the minimum wage in year two, rising to a full apprentice rate for the job in year three.

The Freedom Workforce will be tasked with renovating the country’s housing stock and building new homes. King Charles has generously agreed to provide free land from the Crown Estates and half of the Nations golf courses will be sequestered for new housing estates. Planning regulations will be relaxed to accelerate new housing projects.

NOT A BAD START. MIGRANTS WELCOMED AND USEFULLY EMPLOYED. PRISONERS REHABILITATED. ALL AT NO COST TO THE TAXPAYERS.
