CLASS WAR EDITOR Ian Bone is standing for election in Kensington in May.

He promises to double the mansion tax and give the workers every other day off. He also hopes to enlist the support of the old Notting Hill bohemians like Mick Jones of The Clash.

“I think there’s a huge class divide in the constituency, with people living in serious deprivation in North Kensington and then all the rich people have taken over the rest of Kensington. We’re going to try and use that divide to pull in all the old musos who made Notting Hill and get them to support us.

“The Tories and Labour are the same in Kensington so we’ll be something different.

“If I’m voted in I’d kick all the rich people out, put in a 50% mansion tax on the rich people’s homes to fund pensions and double everybody’s benefits.

“I’d also give everyone a holiday every other day.”

We at the Idler would only impose mansion tax on the new rich, but we agree wholeheartedly with Mr Bone’s “more holidays” policy.
