2 October (Part 2) - Terminal decline at the hands of Khan
Fortunately I had just finished my coffee when I read this Tweet from London
Mayor Khan or I would be washing my tablecloth right now. Splutter went to
laughter and then sadness as I thought about what Khan has done to a once great city.
Sadiq is technically correct with his ‘powerhouse’ comment but he pays only lip-service
towards putting the city back where it belongs. He is up against the move towards home working but he encourages
people to not leave home.
Reduced bus and train capacity coupled with face nappies and 24 hour bus lanes
even when and where there are no buses do nothing to help his cause.
TfL near bankrupt, vehicles financially penalised for making essential journeys and brought to a standstill by madcap traffic schemes.
Khan has failed on his housing
pledges and failed on tree planting too.
He denies being elected in part because of his promise to plant two million trees, but its a fib of course. The promise may not have been
in his election manifesto but the web is peppered with what he was saying about trees. From the Guardian to The Evening Standard and the
arboriculture trade press.
Why do politicians always feel the need to manipulate the truth?
