A repulsive smear

WE knew Sadiq Khan, the London mayor, had only a tenuous grasp on reality. Now he really has lost the plot.

To smear anyone objecting to his punitive Ultra Low Emission Zone traffic scheme as ‘far-Right’ and ‘Covid deniers’ is disgusting.

Oswald Mosley was far-Right. Ordinary folk with valid concerns about the crippling £12.50-a-day charge, or those questioning its democratic legitimacy, are not.

But then these are increasingly the tactics of the Left. When their arguments collapse, they belittle and dehumanise their opponents in the most repulsive way.
