Come fly with me

Sadiq Khan has defended his recent 7,000-mile flight to a climate change conference in Argentina stating that “his commercial flight to Buenos Aires, via São Paulo, was powered by sustainable aviation fuel”. It is calculated that he has flown the equivalent of twice around the world during his tenure, whilst lecturing us to avoid driving in London.

  1. Until birth control is a major element of talk to help climate change, the rest is pretty useless. And since that is taboo, well, we are toast. So have another pint and enjoy the ride, and be glad we are old.

  2. He is not alone of course. Politicians and Royals flying everywhere, even short distances, while talking down to the rest of us about using our cars to drive two miles to a supermarket. Hypocrites!

    1. Apparently, if you believe the Chancellor of the Exchequer in next 2 years half of Britain’s population will replace their cars with electric models. That should offset Sadiq’s emissions.
