Re: Khan being an idiot on this one
It''s even more stupid when you see that London has some of the most polluted air in the country...
Because they've discouraged modern petrol engined vehicles, and invested in huge fleets of farty diesel buses, and encouraged an immense fleet of antiquated diesel taxis. The bulk of central London's pollution is caused by public transport.
Things don't get any better on the underground, where air quality on several lines would routinely fail EU air quality tests (but those only have to be performed at street level). So much for pollution free electric transport.
