A Personal Manifesto

IT'S ELECTION TIME! So I have a manifesto of my own. 16 year olds now get the vote and they can sign on if they are in care, or attend school or job training. The "dole" is now £170 per week. The minimum wage for 16-25 year olds is £12 an hour, above 25 it is £17 an hour. Non-violent offenders can plant trees instead of going to prison. Full-time students are entitled to Housing Benefit and can "sign on" over the summer period. Fees for all universities and private schools are to be capped at £8000 a year. Trident will not be renewed. There is to be a referendum on building new nuclear power stations. Restrictions on on-shore wind farms will now be ended and new schools and hospitals will have solar panels on their roofs. The Army and MI6 will be abolished.

Fan Theories 16

More Star Wars! I have fan theories about the origins of Leader Snoke and Rey. Assuming  Outbound Flight (novel)  “happened” then I would imagine that Snoke is one of the force-sensitive children (or a child of two of the Jedi) on the expedition to the Unknown Regions. If you have read Timothy Zahn’s “Outbound Flight” Snoke’s resentment towards the Jedi, Republic, Sith and Empire make sense. Rey. Rey’s parents were freaked out by her early display of force-related abilities. With no established Jedi Temple to send her to they simply abandoned her, perhaps out of fear of superstitious locals. Also, consider the possibility that Prime Minister Alexander Piffle Boris Johnson is the bastard offspring of Sheev Palpatine and Jar-Jar Binks!
