    Okay then. Explain how it's a good thing that my tax revenue is being used to lessen health risks for people.
    Because suffering is bad. Poor health causes suffering. As long as taxation is not at such excessive levels that it discourages generation of new wealth, redistributing some wealth will increase the well-being of those who are less well off."

Free insulation

THE Coalition’s green deal will offer householders or firms a loan to pay for energy-efficient work against their property at a six per cent interest rate.

How many people are expected to take this up in York? About three a week. It is “greenwash” and tokenism.

The moral of the story? It is best to get your free insulation now (before October/November) while it is still free. Phone the Yorkshire Energy Partnership on 01904 554406 or see yorkshireenergypartnership.org.uk/

Coun Christina Funnell, Labour, Heworth, York.
