Under Labour political correctness, now the police must recruit gypsies !!! Talking about employing thieves and giving them inside information !!!

Just like now the cops must, to be politically correct, stop and search whites, yellows and blacks; not just browns, for anti-terror purposes. Just a waste of taxpayers’ money.

Four of them in the picture and not one with a suit that fits properly. At least they’re not as bad as Obama in that respect.

Erty, the Mayor has four children. What is he supposed to do, let them run behind his bike?

Boris Johnson, ex Eton and Bullingdon Dining Club, has a large people carrier type car.

If everyone in the UK had one, the country would seize up, therefore it’s reasonable to say this is very selfish behaviour.

The emissions of the S40 (118 g/km) are not lower than a Prius (104 g/km for current) or a Honda Insight (101 g/km) or a Honda Civic hybrid (109 g/km) either.

Low emission diesels are only low emission on CO2 and this is not the only gas or substance in a car’s exhaust. NOx, Carbon Monoxide and carcinogenic particulates are all in diesel exhausts and the levels are MUCH higher. According to something I read recently the NOx emissions are 16 times higher on a C30 DRIVe (eco version) than a Prius.

The CO2 number might look eco, but the other emissions are much higher than the petrol hybrid cars. These pollutants are as harmful (if not more) than CO2 and NOx can be converted into N2O in the atmosphere which is identified by the Kyoto protocol as a greenhouse gas. NOx is also a nasty air quality pollutant that causes smog and respiratory problems. PM10 particulates (Euro 4 emission regulations don’t require a particulate trap) which are found in diesel emission are also thought to be carcinogenic.

BORIS, DON’T BELIEVE THE GREENWASH, HYBRIDS DO LESS DAMAGE THAN LOW EMISSION DIESELS.

PS In response to 1st comment, don’t know what he drives but Zac Goldsmith was in the Revolve Eco-Rally driving ITM Power’s hydrogen fuelled converted Focus then the Tesla. Where he broke the rules and arrived next to City Hall early!!

I wonder if the Mayor would give one of these cars to the person who has said the nicest things about him over the past six months. No? Oh well, it was worth a try.
