Oh, and just to nail the prattish claim that the Tories always intended to deliver a comprehensive ban, I refer you to the third paragraph of the letter from the prattish Tory candidate printed above
"If a total ban were to be implemented, then this would stop the sale of items that contain ivory which are very old, such as antiques. Blocking the sale of such items would not necessarily have any effect on protecting elephants, and all efforts must be put into stopping the sale of new ivory which has been taken from elephants.
