He went to a park, his security team went with him. It's a non-story.
I don't thin you've bothered to read it. The clear message is if you are going to back anti-pollution you don't go out and er, pollute when there is absolutely no need to. A bit like Lewis Hamilton in his jet, eh Subsub. :D

'Sadiq Khan is spotted using cavalcade of cars to drive 4.5 miles to walk his dog... even though there's a park close to his street – hours after unveiling pollution report'
I've read the story and he visited the park with a Met. Police security team of over five people who brought Met. Police vehicles to transport the team. I assume they follow him anywhere so unless the Mail is saying Khan should never go out when he's not working I'm not sure what they expect to happen.
What was wrong with the park across the road? You'd think a big anti-polluter like Khan, would take the opportunity to save some emissions. Then again Socialists are all full of shit anyway. Do as I say, not as I do.
Not sure the position that Khan should only go places within walking distance is sensible. This story is basically Khan drove somewhere, the Met Police went as well and therefore Khan = bad. It's simply silly.
Why does he need a gas guzzling police escort. I thought every one in London thought he was the next Messiah.

Because the Met. Police think people may want to kill him.

That's a shocker, when he's done such a splendid job for the Capital. Changing the names of overland railway lines to reflect diversity for e.g.

I didn't say Ken and Boris got anything 'so right.'
Oh, I don't know, he failed to balance TFL's books efficiently (commuters really appreciate the fare increase), butchered the city's roads and introduced unnecessary cycle lanes and charges, and has shown no strength or effective leadership whatsoever amid the terrorist attacks and rising crime. Apart from that, yeah, our boi Khan is good.

First of all, it's very easy to offset your carbon emissions – did you know that?
Secondly, Lewis Hamilton has such a huge reach via his social media that if just a small percentage are influenced and change their behaviour to be more environmentally friendly, then that's worth it in my book.
Demanding that certain people never drive or take a flight is ridiculous.
Hamilton's green credentials are somewhat undermined as he's the face of the most polluting sport in the history of the World after competitive car type burning. The fact he tells people to make green choices whilst posting pictures of his dog eating lunch on a private jet is somewhat silly.

You know better than me, as you live in London, but I thought it was Ken and/or Boris who introduced all those 'superhighway' blue cycling lanes?
As for 'showing no strength or effective leadership', I'm sure you'll agree that's a subjective view.

Boris did the cycle lanes and permanently bankrupted TfL. I'd vote to scrap the London Mayor it's pointless.

Indeed, Boris was the bicycle architect. He had a green vision and Khan ran with it without considering the consequences.
Is it subjective? Perhaps. He's shown leadership in environmental issues...that's about it. In terms of London's priorities, the environment is a nice thing in the Not Important, Not Urgent box.
