I's just BoJo sounding off.

I would like to introduce a scrappage scheme for politicians and useless green campaigners who can't mind their own business.

Part of the softening up propaganda to get enough bandwagon drones enlisted for the tax grab.

Are we going to see Islington mothers on their fashionable crusade of the moment, with Diesel drivers this time, just how it was done a few years ago when the so called Chelsea tractor was the target of heavy taxation, or envy.

As for another scrappage scheme, didn't they learn enough last time, when far too many low mileage well kept premium older cars were scrapped, because the owners who kept them well could afford to replace them, meanwhile the rotten death traps that hadn't been serviced for 5 years carried on because their owners were potless anyway.

Just another politician trying to keep themself climbing the greasy gravy pole.

The best scrappage scheme would be one for scrapping old, inefficient cars and replacing them with new, efficient ones.

One way to do this would be on engine size - it's a bit clumsy but larger engined cars tend to use more fuel than small-engined ones.

So I'd suggest the scheme could apply to cars with an engine capacity of over 2500cc (whether petrol or diesel), if replaced by a new car of under 1500cc as long as it meets certain standards for fuel consumption and emissions.

There could even be a 'scrappage plus' version of the scheme if the scrapped big car is replaced by a hybrid, and 'scrappage plus - plus' if it's replaced by a fully electric car.
