Policy Proposal 1: Mosquito Buzz

I heard about his a few years ago and actually thought it was a joke. But no, a device that emits a high pitched tone audible only to those under the age of 25 exists and is apparently already in use (with 3500 in England alone!!). I find it difficult to understand how this even slipped through the net and became law, but today the government said it stands by its legality.

What!? What sort of message does this send out to our youths? To me! This isn’t even youths we are talking about, is the government even aware that many lawyers, nurses, policemen and women, firefighters etc etc are under 25?

Are they willing to mess us about because we don’t vote as much as those with poor hearing? Is the ability to hear properly and a persons voting tendency inversely connected? What does that say about society?

I suspect the Liberal Democrats have come out against this but what would be really great is if David Cameron and his Conservatives came out against it too. Sure he would upset the vast majority of his party who hate having to see young people hanging around the newsagent when they pop in to buy their copy of the Daily Mail, but so what? There is a much bigger prize to win in opposing this.

Make the argument that indiscriminate harassment of young men and women is no message to be sending out to the generation in charge of Britain’s future. That respect goes both ways. The people targeted are the same men and women who will have completed Dave’s ‘National Citizenship Service’, they will be the ones raising families and saving up to buy their own homes. What ever happened to hug a hoodie? Dave needs to oppose this and attack Brown from the left. Gordon is already busy cultivating his Stalinist principles with the ID Card; Cameron should not hesitate to expose this trait.

I’m glad to say that in Scotland a law banning this device is already gaining momentum and looks likely to succeed. But let’s not let the Scots have all the good ideas, alright? That’s just embarrassing.
