A billion pounds?

babysimon: "You could do a lot of good with £1bn"

How would you spend a billion pounds in order to do good? You can't spend it on yourself or your friends.

I would get a tazer and start feeling invincible on a daily basis. personally taking on shoplifters, bad behaviour on buses, smacking people round the head when they need it. try and regain some of the responsibilities that people don't seem to respect anymore.
excluding all violent school pupils, lock them up in a safari park and use them as an example to others. Don't act like an animal or I'll treat you like one. Or deport them to the third world, an exchange program, along side helping people in the third world and war torn areas move to safe and environmentally sustainable areas.
I am not a nice person or a bright person. I am not politically liberal on the issues of personal violence. I don't know enough about how the world works to make this money work effectively but i know enough to know that it wouldn't make a difference and that the other people with the billions would get together and cheat me out of it. its not a conspiracy theory, its grinding reality.
