Fuck it, I've joined the Green Party. Given my previous form for such things, we can expect Zack Polanski to kick the shit out of an orphan or praise Genghis Khan or be photographed at a Sam Fender gig any day now 😞

I'm currently in hospital - where I've just been presented with this - along with the single word "Mouthwash". It's just the same pink stuff you spit out at the dentist - but I wonder just how many rinses and spits all this would add up to?

As a non-driver without the full complement of lungs - I entirely agree. Having to breathe in other people's pollution is a grave environmental injustice. Fair play to Sadiq Khan though, for making vital and effective improvements to London's air quality. More to do - obvs.
