message: He has categorically stated on his radio show (which I listen to most mornings) that the rumours about him having a year to live and being morbidly obese are not true. --86.158.15.249 (talk) 05:59, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Later, he began to see merit in the idea and discussed what policies he might introduce should he become Mayor: amongst these were re-introducing the Routemaster buses (with various modifications so that they would conform to disability and environmental laws) and scrapping the Mercedes-Benz "Bendy Buses" and, more controversially, putting a large levy on trainers in the run-up to the 2012 Olympic Games and doubling income tax on Human Rights lawyers. Ferrari later indicated that he would not stand as the Conservative candidate, a role that was taken by Boris Johnson.[4]
How on earth would be increase income tax if he was Mayor of London?  That can only be done by the Chancellor of the Exchequer!  StanPomeray (talk) 11:27, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Someone keeps adding that he is a "far-right wing" "shock jock" (see here). As this is unreferenced I've removed it, but I think we would only add something like this if it was backed up by reliable sources. Also, the matter of what is discussed on his programmes can be added, but again it needs to be referenced. To me this looks like someone's personal opinion. He may well discuss the topics, but whether or not he does so in the manner suggested is open to debate. TheRetroGuy (talk) 20:49, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: This problem continues, so I've done a bit of investigation. Googling Nick Ferrari far right shock jock produces some results, but it is mainly the left-leaning media which thinks he's right-wing, and opinion seems to differ on whether or not he is a shock jock. There's no doubt he holds Conservative views, but Conservatism and far-right politics are two very different political ideologies. I suggest the person who keeps changing this reads both articles in order to gain a better understanding of the terms. Paul MacDermott (talk) 12:23, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

message: The information about education appears to be incorrect.  Nick Ferrari stated on air on 27th November when asked by a caller whether he went to school at Eltham College and he replied "no" but that he did come from Bromley [Kent].
