Turn of phrase old boy. The Green lobby are constantly calling on people not to fly and the government to tax air travel.

I think the point of my post was clear. Politicians, celebrities etc lecturing the rest of us on our behaviour whilst flying around the world themselves.

Khan is now claiming that ULEZ will reduce carbon emissions as well as reduce air pollution. It appears that others including the Lib Dems disagree so he is pursuing a policy that will hurt ordinary Londoners whilst not actually doing what it's supposed to do.

What we need are realistic solutions.

The concept of a fine as a deterrent to a behaviour isn’t really a complicated one, but that’s been done to death on here.

But that’s kind of my point - I don’t think anyone ‘lectures the rest of us’ half as much as you make out. Absolutely there are some raging hypocrites in this space, but the Mail have been running stories on ‘celebrity A’ catching a flight for years as if it’s a major gotcha, despite no serious green position ever being that no one should catch a flight.

The consequence of these stories is people end up feeling much more ‘attacked’ than ever was the reality.

That must be a great comfort to those who need to drive to or for their work.

And more fun knowing the first hour's work goes to paying it.
