One of my favourite bloggers is ianVisits, he seems to discover #London #transit news before most so I'm honoured that he's first to review my latest book here: ianvisits.co.uk/articles/book-…

No matter how often we see these figures, it’s incomprehensible that the fossil fuel industry justifies any subsidy at all from anywhere. Can anyone explain? #BBCVerify even?
