MAYOR of London Boris Johnson has said he does not want to be parachuted in to another MP's seat in order to return to the House of Commons, a Derbyshire Tory party member has claimed.

The Mayor of London was the main speaker at a Conservative Party meeting held at Morley Hayes hotel yesterday. One of the 200 party members attending was Peter Dawson, of Borrowash – who wants Mr Johnson to make a run to become Tory leader.

It has been reported that Sir Peter Tapsell, MP for Louth and Horncastle, Lincolnshire, would be willing to give up his safe seat to enable Mr Johnson to return to the Commons.

Keen to find out if this was true, Mr Dawson said he asked Mr Johnson if he would be willing to take up a seat in this way? He said Mr Johnson replied: "No. I intend to carry on as Mayor of London." His term as Mayor is due to finish in 2016.

    “I like and don't like this Boris Johnson.
    I watched him being questioned at a meeting involving other Representative on the TV this morning. Monday March 25th.
    His avoidance to many a questions was a little awkward to say the least.
    Build build build was his determined requirement that's in the housing market.
    Brown field sites. well on that point alone i can agree as brown field sites are usually a eye sore or a blight in most cities today.
    For say that he get some £200,000 plus for writing a column in one of the national news papers. i tend to wonder about his sincerity in the national interested of the situation that the country is in.
    For there has been house building projects that have been going on in the capital for quite a while. and the houses are not affordable to the first time buyers.
    So why does he not then think of this light proposal that i have to offer.
    In our capital there are many professionals who are in work like policemen nurses young doctors and so forth who could never afford the deposit required to buy a home in the capital. they have to commute which interns requires various kinds of transport.
    Thus fuhrer adding pollution and taking up time. both of theses cost money and at the same time makes money for the services like public transport.
    If you build homes in inner London and you charged just the rental basis only for the required area. and gave these homes to the people in the forefront of our services.
    and in time have a proposed agenda. you will see that some of the homes will be brought buy these individuals. you would allow them to conduct there finances as a steady pace in which turn they would still add to the economy.
    For the unemployed you build in a much different way. to save money you should build upwards but learn from past mistakes like the former concrete blocks that later on became war zones for a multitude of different people.
    Cheaper cost effective and holds more people per the square mile.
    Do not make complications of charging rent to the unemployed. ie if one is unemployed and holds a tenancy why bother with a rent applicant the paperwork involved is time consuming.
    This needs rent updates money that is transferable from different organizations.
    One could provide new employment like employment officers who will check on households to see if they are unemployed and so forth.
    large amounts of monies are lost through false claimants and people not stating that there changes in circumstances have changed.
    we all know that throughout London that there are many takeaways restaurants shops of one form or another that employ illegal migrants or those unemployed. catch 22. thus can be tackled or left alone. question does crime pay.
    illegal cigarettes account for all the rental that this government has to pay out in rent to the unemployed every year in our capital.
    lets use a small percentage like the number 50,000 shops throughout the uk and selling up to ten packets each per a day at £4. when the true cost is £7.50. and taxed
    this amounts to £1,750,0000m x 365 comes to £638.750,000m. this is £35 a day losses on ten packet's of fags. its only a small estimation because if you really add up this then you will see that there is more than 200.000 small shops that have sprung up in the UK in the last ten years or so. and not every one is illegally fronting the law
    So my trues estimation of a lost is more likely to be £ 1 billion a year loss ages to the taxpayer.
    A greater number of raids should be done and on the spot fines of £2000 should be imposed without a caught hearing for selling even 1 Packet of fags. this would in turn enrich our coffers and deterred the illegal trade that is costing money and soon will have a enormous impact on health that will further incur cost to the NHS and the tax payer.
    What does Boris think of this or any other officials reading this terminology.”
