Mark Thomas came to Croydon last Thursday as part of his ‘Manifesto’ tour.
The audience on each leg of his tour gets a chance to select a policy which will go into his manifesto for the forthcoming general election.
So far the Manifesto has picked up some really quirky yet rational policies such as:
1. Anyone who supports ID cards should be banned from having curtains.
2. No one should be allowed a second home until everyone has a first home...
3. A national maximum wage
4. A three day weekend
Those attending were invited to fill in the form. The Croydon Clocktower audience ended up with a shortlist of two:
1) Take down the signage at
2) Citizens have the right to stop and search PCSO’s.
My choice (below) which didn’t get a mention was :-(
The great grandchildren of climate change deniers should be forcibly required to house environmental refugees if global temperatures rise above 5 degrees this century.
Interestingly, the chosen policy was the ‘stop and search’ one – which possibly says more about life experiences in Croydon.
