Bad Atmosphere

Yet more fiendish foreign skulduggery is afoot in Brussels and/or Strasbourg. Air pollution levels in several British cities are projected to exceed Europe's merely legal limits until after 2030, five or ten years longer than was expected before the advent of the greenest government ever. Meanwhile, the greenest government ever has just published its latest estimates for emissions of nitrogen dioxide, which is killing proles in Greater London and also in some other places, like Yorkshire and the Midlands, which are not really London at all. Despite this, lawyers for the Euro-wogs have described the UK's non-compliance as "perhaps the longest-running infringement of EU law in history", and are agitating for the Government to be fined. This could deprive the British taxpayer of some three hundred million a year, which might otherwise be spent on worthier causes, like shale-fracking subsidies or G4S-run nursery schools; so clearly the Euro-wogs are being very fiendish indeed.
