• IN my area vast Mercedes and BMWs turn up with their darkened windows to drop their children off at their local free state primary school.

Typical vehicle value: £50,000 – yet, mysteriously, not one child-carrying driver has been made subject to an Unexplained Wealth Order.

To clarify, this means you must account on a fully transparent basis for any asset costing more than £50,000.

In a nutshell, the sight of these vast pollution-generating limousines to claim their free state education for their benighted children is an obscenity beyond belief.

All parents owning a car worth more than £10,000 should have to pay annually 20 per cent of its value into the local state school they use before each term starts.

Taxing over-sized vehicles is good for the environment. An idea for Boris to action, in any event.
