Well, Don, you ought to try getting some facts in if you want to speculate on my income or income tax. You don't need a big car to tow a caravan. My caravan cost me £250, and that was before I hit a tree with the roof. I could tow it fine with my Skoda - the one a grateful client gave me for nothing. Even if you did need a big car, if you had a 20-year old Volvo like I now have, it would not be getting car tax increases because it would be too old. Oh, but I forgot to mention, you wouldn't have a Volvo because it was not fast enough, was it?

And as for pollution - hmm - well - breathing is not optional. You gave up smoking when you figured that out. So, shall we discourage high particulate emissions, or not? Really tough question that (not).

As for the 10p band, I've not followed the figures but the official GB position is that other supports ensure that no person losing the benefit of the 10p band need be worse off.

Alas Robert Marshall-Andrews QC MP is retiring.

You can't with any seriousness lay the failings of New Labour (no longer any sort of socialist party since discarding clause 4) at Red Ken's feet. They kicked him out, remember, and had to come grovelling back when they needed him.

How do I know Johnson will destroy the safety net we all need? He's a conservative. Not a "New Conservative" - a conservative. There has been no rewrite of the conservative constitution like New Labour did toemasculate the Labour party. Look at what the conservatives have always done. Look at the fact that his Australian hitman campaign manager has clearly ordered Johnson to keep his trap shut since when he opens it it's only to put his stinking rich foot in it. Look at the fact that any time Johnson gets asked a real policy question he just plays goldfish.

Anyone who isn't rich and white voting for Johnson is just like turkeys voting for Christmas. He's Shirley Porter only prettier. David Icke would be a better mayor!

Before any of you ever think of voting for any conservative at anything - look again at the shafting that that bitch Thatcher and her vegetables gave every worker and claimant in the country. Ken may have his faults (although on the other hand at least New Labour hate and fear him) but anything he does wrong - we all make mistakes - is a drop in the ocean beside the organised malice of those who would steal from the poor to give to the rich.

And Teribus - yes, so the BNP is racist? Well who'd have guessed?
And you approve of that do you? Your point, exactly?

Lox - well said and good luck.
