I wonder if Patterson will be kept around as a firewall for this.

Re: Air pollution: European commission legal action against UK


	Quote: Air pollution causes 29,000 early deaths a year in the UK and the World Health Organisation has confirmed that air pollution causes cancer. Poor air quality also causes heart attacks and children living near busy roads in the UK have been shown to grow up with underdeveloped lungs.

Yes but those early deaths will be beneficial to the government in terms of reduced pension payouts. Now will they simply pay any fines and hope that the numbers of early deaths continues to help reduce the costs of pensions.
