Make gym membership free
And make it illegal for any fast food service to be on anything lower than the second floor of a building, with a lift which is only for use by the disabled. Same goes for the chips freezers in supermarkets- put them at the top of a ladder or something.

Also, this'll probably get said a lot, but: fire all the useless shits who push paper at the Job Centres, rethink the entire system, and actually get people in who will do some work.

Make commission-only jobs illegal.

Make every corporation responsible for the appearence of the street outside of their building (litter, plants, pavement and road surface) as well as the inside, creating more jobs and actually clearing up the streets.

The arts should be treated as equal to the sciences in schools, although if any student goes on to work in reality TV they should be sellotaped to an anthill.

Commission-only jobs...
... for the Job Centre staff. Didn't get anyone a job this week? No pay for you!

Hehe, yes. :D
We'd see a sudden reduction in the number of 'lost' forms that they're too fecking idle to process, for a start.

Nah, if I really had any power
I'd make one person culpable for absolutely everything, and tell them they can't hide behind other branches, or 'it's not my area', or the other party... let them explain why each decision is made, good or bad, and stand by their convictions.

...naturally I'd hate to be that poor sod. I just like the idea of having someone in charge who'd actually be responsible for their charge.

Yep
The thing that winds me up about any large organisation is having to deal with the "its not my department" shits.
