Unless they buy a Euro 6 Van or Lorry. Which most will have anyway.

Firstly, it's a map that was linked to in the article you used to prove your point! Secondly, it's air pollution as measured, not as produced, so if wind did blow it to Putney, Putney would show up as polluted.

Just trying to parse this - are you saying Khan is too scared to speak to Ferrari (again, by the way, it's weird you keep showing support for right wingers over left yet maintain you're a left winger)?

Welcome back Wayne
No idea Edge, but someone has to pay or go out of business. Wait until it extends to the North and South circulars, only the wealthy can drive in London......the working class are being battered by this....I would have said driven out but they can’t afford it....
Very few drive in London but the act of driving (whilst more expensive and not especially quick) is only a small part of the equation, as there really aren't that many places to park in central London, and doing so makes the congestion charge seem like peanuts. If people do have cars, it's either those using it for work or those living (and driving) in zone 2 and beyond. I've lived here over a decade now and haven't had a car the entire time. It's just not necessary and a generally inferior means of transport to cycling.
You can only present so much evidence, but as shown, the pollution from Heathrow is contained in that part of west London, whereas pretty much all of central London has Heathrow-type levels (probably 10x the area of the Heathrow patch), and a good chunk of the Heathrow emissions will be the road traffic around the airport. As it is, you've spent most of this thread denying that air pollution is a problem at all, so you'll have to forgive me for taking you with a pinch of salt Pete.
It's also perhaps noting that the European Commission took legal action against the government for breaching air quality standards, so I presume Joe and Pete are all in favour.

So you're both arguing that flights should have similar measures taken against them?

Welcome back Wayne
If Londoners don’t need cars, fine, just ban them all. Tradesmen and delivery drivers, however, can’t really jump on the bus or tube with assorted tools or washing machines.
If you’ve never had a car for ten years you are very lucky indeed, although if you never get outside of London and see how the rest of us live, it would explain a lot.......
There are around 5 million tube journeys taken every day Pete. Put even a fraction of those into cars and things will get hugely messy from a congestion standpoint, let alone a pollution standpoint. I fully understand that commercial traffic, together with buses and taxis, make up the majority of London traffic, but seeing as you have argued persuasively that pollution around Heathrow is excessive, surely the similar levels in the entire of central London will cause you to suggest changes need to be made. I'm sure Mr Khan is open to your input if you were to offer your services.
Re your latter point, granted, I tend to travel out of the UK more than I do out of London, but the train has always been perfectly adequate if I did need to travel within the UK.

Or they can use Euro 6 vehicles, which have been the norm for a number of years.
