Creating a scientific religion.
There is a well thought out argument against it here . By definition religion has to have faith in a God(s). For the purpose of this post I will override that component.

Don’t spend our money on more nukes
I am more than antagonised to learn that there are plans by the government to spend £3 billion on nuclear weapons. The whole affair seems very secret and there is no disclosed information to confirm weather the contract is going a head. They are much better ways to spend that money, like on deteriorating schools.

More beaches
Wednesday we got in our 6 seater car and drove to Golden Bay, apart from the polluted water, it was very nice. The warm temperature of the sea certainly appeared to have been a contribution from the dirt and wood chippings floating in the water. Me and my brother decided to take a banana boat [...]
