I don’t think anyone is actually defending pollution. Those who say ‘meh it’s asthma not pollution’ just enjoy being a contrarian, who would point out any perceived ‘error’ in others’ words. They don’t really have any agenda to push nor any opinions of their own that worth posting. Just nitpicking here and there to show how others are ‘wrong’. Back to the topic, I wish we could ban diesel ASAP. I passed through Oxford Street a few times when it was virtually shut off by the protesters last month, so none of the diesel-burning black cabs not busses were there. It was much, much more pleasant than any other busy London street, almost serene, if there were not that many shoppers...
