As Boris Johnson has continued Ken Livingstone's policy of impeding road

traffic movement in London, he has zero credibility when he pretends he
cares
about air pollution.

It cannot be stated too often that the reason London's air has
deteriorated
over the past thirteen years is that two grossly irresponsible Mayors
have
encouraged TfL to damage London's road system. It also needs to be
repeated endlessly that the easiest way to reduce air pollution in
London is to
keep road traffic moving.

How would you build Crossrail without disrupting traffic round the station
and tunnel construction sites?

As you well know, that was not what I was referring to. Let me ask you
a question. Why did you try to divert attention away from the main issue
with this silly red herring?
