Boris Johnson: clown narcissist & child murdererMayor of London from 1 May 2008 until 5 May 2016
Boris, you committed "public health fraud on an industrial scale" while mayor, delaying measures to reduce air pollution to levels safe for Londoners
And, by delaying air pollution improvements by years, you massively increased the number of avoidable deaths of vulnerable Londoners with asthma & other respiratory illnesses
(1) 22 Feb '10 - Labour Govt.
"Govt. Minister acknowledges..the possibility of 35,000 premature deaths in a year due to air pollution in the UK. The London mayor would have known this. Of course.
..call for government apology after its failure to publish, or ‘covering-up’ of, an estimate for the number of premature deaths due to long-term exposure to dangerous airborne particles
..estimate of 3,460 premature deaths (or up to 7,900) due to long-term exposure to dangerous airborne particles in London in 2005.."
(2) 21 Jun '11 - Conservative/LibDem coalition govt. The London mayor would have known this. Of course.
"Long-term exposure to air pollution may have contributed to all 15,800 deaths due to cardiovascular causes in London in 2009 (i.e. one in three of all deaths)..
New scientific research indicates that children exposed to higher levels of traffic-related air pollution at school and home are at increased risk of developing asthma.
Scientists say living near roads travelled by 10,000 or more vehicles per day could be responsible for some 15-30 per cent of all new cases of asthma in children..
..[and] found 1,148 schools in London within 150 metres of roads carrying 10,000 or more vehicles per day and a total of 2,270 schools within 400 metres of such roads"
(3) Public health fraud on an industrial scale? No-one now doubts it of serial killer Boris. Of course.
2nd Apr '12 - Boris while mayor of London - Conservative govt.
"The use of dust suppressants in front of official air quality monitoring stations is public health fraud on an industrial scale..
..pollution levels are already above European legal limits but this is being hidden by the use of dust suppressants.
..It is dangerous because it means we don’t know how bad the problem really is."
(4) 9th Nov '12 - Par for the course? Of course.
Boris as "Mayor used the Pollution Suppressor to save himself not others..
By using pollution suppressants in front of the Marylebone Road monitoring station..the Mayor has tampered with the very core of public health protections."

(5) Aggressive, rude & contemptuous denial of the truth for his own political benefit? Of course.
[Boris] "dismissed claims by top experts that Oxford Street has the worst nitrogen dioxide pollution on the planet as 'bollocks'.
The mayor of London said that it was a 'ludicrous urban myth' that the popular shopping street was one of the world’s most polluted.."

(6) 13th Nov '14 - Admission delayed as well? Of course.
Boris "has been forced to accept that London’s Oxford Street has some of the worst air pollution in the world..
The mayor said "he now accepts scientific evidence from Britain’s leading air research group that the street has some of the world’s highest recorded levels of nitrogen dioxide"

(7) + More Boris lies? Of course.

(8) Hidden by Boris? Of course. So responsible for even more avoidable deaths.

(9) Suppressed by Boris? Of course. And all before his Covid killing fields.
