I am always surprised by hitherto sensible people not seeing what is obvious. Sadiq Khan, London’s Mayor, has been systematically making London’s roads terrible simply, to make them as car free as possible. He has had the nerve to use COVID-19 as an excuse to extend multiple
footpaths, reducing the amount of space available to cars…like the space on a footpath is ever likely to be an issue in London again.

Mr Khan’s master plan started long before anyone had heard of this virus, that is clear. The disaster that is the Old Street roundabout, the re-mapping of Baker Street and Gloucester Place, the nuts removal of 2 lanes on Euston Road, empty cycle lanes as big as those for cars on the Embankment and Finchley Road, dummy blockades on dozens of road simply to inconvenience drivers – with no apparent road works. This is just cynical control freakism that is systematically destroying the quality of life for Londoners in the process, at a time when the city is on its knees.

Its just a pity that many voters don’t see it. London’s roads now have traffic jams by design; bear in mind there are way fewer cars are on the road compared to 2019. A cab journey of 4 miles takes 45 minutes….

Mr Khan; stand up and take responsibility for once for anything in fact to do with London. In Japan you’d be a shamed civil servant bowing to the public for forgiveness.

Meanwhile all the City Hall cronies draw full salaries and accrue lovely pensions at Londoners expense. What a joke.
