Who wants to take a bet on what they will invite The People to bring back first?

Workhouses or the death penalty? I can see the People's Government deciding that either or both would be a good way to further entrench their power...

Erm... HoHo... can you explain the white dog poo please?

I personally would welcome death penalty as opposed to letting repeat offenders back into society (think Venables). And the situation in prisons is ridiculous.

To all the idiots on here making snide remarks, you do realise that you lot have lost? Jacob Rees Mogg won with a thumping majority. So yeah. Keep moaning and insulting.

So, remove judicial oversight of government by the courts which to my reading of it they can do whatever they want and nobody can take them to court for acting illegally.

They most definitely weren't talking about liquid measures, I'm afraid.

Although that's another wonderful thought: fluid ounces! Imagine the changeover if medication had to be administered in imperial measures instead of SI units.

@Justcallmebebes i would prefer if some of the 5 year olds could stand at pelican crossings and press the button when they see me approach so I don't have to wait to cross.

bluebells1 It's Blitz spirit, me old china.

Death penalty should never have been taken down imo. Far too many paedophiles, sex offenders, murderers, rapists, etc free to roam the streets once “rehabilitated”.

Death penalty is all well and good, when you're reading about horrors in the newspaper. It's a bit more difficult if you're the poor sod on jury service, trying to weigh up how sure you are that the personable guy in the suit across the room really did do it.

Are we really having "Your lot lost, ner ner" again? Is it 2016?

Anyway, I reckon Boris's capabilities extend to little bike stations all down the M6.

The “workhouse” is already back

Fox hunting. It’ll be back in the next 5 years. I’d put money on it.

Conservative voters: here are some totes hilarious comments about how shit the other parties are, are you triggered you little snowflake, oh boo hoo, freedom of speech

People who have not declared their voting preferences or feelings about the result: make some jokes about Conservatives

Conservative voters: how dare you make jokes!

That about sum it up?

@LazyFace it harks back to the dog poo of my childhood. If we're going to drag the country backwards we may as well make a stop off in the 80s.

I remember white dog poo! Does anyone know why it doesn't turn white any more, or am I going to have to google it?

They have people on UC having "work experience" in poundland already.

There are a few reasons for the lack of white dog poo.

• dog food used to be bulked out with bone and therefore poo would we whiter.
• less people would pick up dog poo so it would be left out for weeks. Couple that with a hot summer and sun bleaching and you get white dog poo.

Comrades, I'd like to see gulags introduced. We could dove-tail this with 'renationalising the railways'...

Dogs eat fewer bones nowadays and commercial dog food doesn't contain as much bonemeal as it used to.

Sound dead clever, don't I?

Googled it

There's been a Conservative Govenment for most of my life. Never has there been any move to bring back workhouses or the death penalty.

Why on earth do you seriously think that would happen now? How utterly bizarre of you.

HoHoHulk So long as it's in your search history, not mine!

If anything ever happens to me, my Google search history will make interesting reading for the coroner.

When Boris was mayor he spent vast amounts of money planning his vanity garden bridge project (aborted) and bought some bikes. Boom boom.

I for one think that night-soil collectors should be brought back. All those unemployed layabouts lording it up on their benefits should do it.

I think workhouses are the most likely of the two, but under a slightly different guise. There is most definitely a desire for it having read on here and fb about people getting something for nothing, so a scheme that made people 'work' for benefits would be embraced.

After all they will need to show all those labour voters who is boss, what with them not working and just wanting everything for free.

Pounds and ounces, according to the Sun and the Daily Mail.

I haven't seen this speech but I have been told recently that hanging was a good thing and kept down the murder rate and also, by a different person, that the birch should come back. Both the people who said this were older and were reminiscing about their youth, both conversations had been quite fun until then.

So if the prime minister is asking people what they might like to see brought back, I would not be surprised if various types of punishment were mentioned. Also corporal punishment in schools.
