The (proposed) scrappage scheme is geographically based, so your figures

So to be even vaguely worthwhile (a grand or two) it will need to be
highly selective, applying to 0.5 to 1% of all cars?


Presumably these will be in marginal constituencies, then ...


It will be the usual mess. Based on age or whatever, rather on the worst
polluting vehicles. Which aren't always going to be the oldest.

Beginning to wish I'd kept my V8 Defender (11mpg) instead of changing it
for a diesel (27 mpg)
