Junk Science Alert

Erm, what bit is it that you object to? The 'lack' of science about asthma and its causes or the congestion charge or both?

The argument was quite well presented until it dropped into the typical NY Sun name calling of all who are thought, not proven, to disagree with the argument being presented. But then again, why should anybody let a bit of schoolyard name calling stop them from presenting an argument, for which ever side of the debate? Call someone, any one, a name often enough, and well, of course you win the argument... (Really?) or is it that the childish bullying, for that is what it is, prevails by simply being so pervasive that neither side can look at the others' argument properly; or maturely?

(Note for the Editor:) It would be really nice to read an article that presents the arguments and just the arguments. If you are confident of what you are arguing for, there is no need to descend into the behaviour of the schoolyard bully.
