Me and @Iromg on @TalkTV talking about the latest ULEZ bad science shenanigans from @imperialcollege.

@Iromg @TalkTV @imperialcollege Here is a thread about my attempt to obtain the 'data' that Gary Fuller of @imperialcollege is alleged to have 'peer reviewed'.

I have taken my complaint to the ICO, who have told the Mayor's office that they must provide the data.

@Iromg @TalkTV @imperialcollege Here is an article outlining my objections to the 'science' underpinning the Mayor's claims, and how Gary Fuller's support for it demonstrates that institutional science may not be fit for purpose.

@Iromg @TalkTV @imperialcollege Khan and his officers have called us 'Nazis' and 'deniers', and 'anti-science'. But we followed the science precisely, and found that it said that stating mortality risk of air pollution as 'deaths' was 'misleading' -- that science could not make that connection.

@Iromg @TalkTV @imperialcollege So now we know that:

1. The Mayor's deputy, Shirley Rodrigues came to his office from a philanthropic foundation that hands out 100s of $Millions each year to green lobbying/campaigning organisations including @imperialcollege (approx £3 million).

@Iromg @TalkTV @imperialcollege 2. Rodrigues can be found strategising with the chief scientist of the Environmental Research Group @ Imperial, to close down science that was critical of the Mayor's policies, and arranging interviews for him, and drafting his statements, which he is 'happy' about.

@Iromg @TalkTV @imperialcollege 3. Rodrigues is also found trying to get scientists at another University to alter their findings.

4. Ben Goldsmith, brother of Khan's 20165 election Rival, is a trustee Rodrigues' former employer.

@Iromg @TalkTV @imperialcollege 5. That same foundation (which also funds Imperial) funds C40 Cities, with many £millions, which Khan chairs.

6. Khan's self-evaluation of his policies is 'peer reviewed' by a 'scientist' who just happens also to be a Guardian writer and green activist with a book to sell.

@Iromg @TalkTV @imperialcollege So it doesn't matter who you vote for, a Goldsmith will be pulling the strings, and a billionaire's lobbying outfit -- which also funds the Guardian -- will be funding the Mayor's office and his projects, and the 'scientific' institutions that support his policies.

@Iromg @TalkTV @imperialcollege They will not let you see the data. They will not let academics criticise the policies. They will mobilise their immense resources against critics. And they will not allow democratic or scientific debate.

That's not science. That's money, power, and ideology.

@Iromg @TalkTV @imperialcollege Thanks to @Iromg and @TalkTV for being an actual platform for democratic, open, public debate, and for having me on the show.
