if you had the power to?

Came from a wee pub discussion with some mates, basically if you had the power to change things in todays society then what would it be.
Here's a wee run down from what I rambled on about.

Knife Crime
Basically anyone caught with a knife in their possession in a public place should be automatically given a prison sentence of at least 3 months. It's pretty strong topic in the news at the moment and it's something we seem to hear about almost on a daily basis.
Time to come down hard on the numpties carrying knifes and even harder on those using them.


Prison
What happened to the movie image of prison being a not very nice place where nobody really wanted to go. Heard a story about a guy in Glasgow telling a taxi driver he was going to stab his mate later in the night as he was annoying him and to be honest he wanted to go back to jail as it was a better quality of life, sky tv, 3 decent meals a day and access to playstations etc.
What a joke.
It should be a place where nobody wants to go because it's a punishment, sadly I think some human rights muppet has made life far too easy for those inside. I'm all for resoritive justice if it works but to almost "reward" folk for being inside just seems ridiculous.

I'd remove the comforts of life and make those inside be forced to think long and hard why they are inside.


Benefits
In particular the job seekers benefit - do they honestly think this works? Ok for a small percentage out there it is what they need while seeking work and they do make the effort to find a job but there are loads that abuse the system. Instead of giving them cash I'd change it to be food coupons, vouchers etc to get them what they need to live on and thats it. Want more then they'll have to get a job.
I'd also make them do stuff within the local community to earn it, cut grass - clean vandalism off walls etc.


Any of you lot got anythings you'd change if you could?

Like all those ideas, Ali.

Personally, I'd like to see driving licenses having a 15 year renewal law put upon them. So after 15 years of driving, if you have any points on your license, then you have to take a renewal test.

Maybe a bit harsh/time consuming, but some of you older drivers are terrible :P
