Ugly, vulgar and a climate catastrophe - we should ban SUVs in London
WHAT upsets me most about life in London today? The endless proliferation of \"luxury flats\" marW keted abroad while ordinary Londoners can't afford to rent a basic home? Yes, that upsets me.

Deeply upsetting on an existential, future-of-mankind level.

Today, a Standard campaign that raises anything short of £1 million can seem like a failure.
