I reckon my house has gone up by 20% since the
announcement was made. Well worth paying £250
more per year over six years!

The selfishness of this statement is staggering.

I reckon the Olympics shold be held here, but a special tax on East London
property owners like yourself should pay for as much of it as possible. It
is wrong that Livingstone should be taking money out of the pockets of
people living in slums in North Kensington and pouring it into the poskets
of wealthy landowners in Stratford.
