I walked along the relevant bit of the south bank the other day and

opposed to the bridge, pointing out that these quite attractive and
inoffensive trees would all be demolished if the garden bridge was
approved.

Looks like it's all over bar the shouting:

Garden Bridge: London mayor Sadiq Khan withdraws support
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-39734050

I suspect that Sadiq was always privately against it, but had to let it
fail on its own terms. That way, Boris gets the blame for the embarrassing
failure of the project, and waste of public funds.

Yes, this was discussed in detail on yesterday's James O'Brien
radio show on LBC.

I've never had a high opinion of our Mayor, but I think he got
this one right. The entire project has been a disgrace and I'm
glad it was not allowed to come to fruition.

No doubt inbetween questioning the IQ of anyone who voted Brexit, wondering
what the problem is of uncontrolled immigration and extolling the virtues of
multiculturalism while living in his middle class bein pensant enclave in
Chiswick. He's the biggest dick on radio.

I agree with your opinion of him, and I'd add self-righteousness
to his list of failings. My problem is that after ten o'clock
there's little else worth listening to on the radio while I'm
driving.

I download podcasts to my phone at home and listen to them while I'm
driving. The On Our Line podcasts might be appropriate.

Yes, he does like to polish his halo somewhat.

I've switched from LBC to talkRadio which was re-launched last year. Its a far
better and more varied station than LBC, which sadly has become little more
than Politics FM in recent years with effectively the same tedious program
being broadcast 24/7 waffling on about the same dull front page topics except
that they change the presenter every 3 hours. The only time I listen to it now
is when Steve Allen is on if I'm up early enough or for traffic news.
