DUE to the Government being short of money, tough decisions will have to be taken in the next few years.

However, it is not necessary to put up income tax or cut education budgets.

Why can’t people be treated like adults and allowed to buy cannabis in cafes or visit prostitutes in properly run brothels like in Amsterdam, rather than being treated like criminals as they are at the moment.

Then the Government could take some of the profit as tax.
