@SadiqKhan
Good to speak to @GMB viewers this morning about today’s junk food ad ban announcement & to outline what we’re doing to tackle violent crime in the capital.

To save London from all its troubles, Sadiq Khan recommends banning junk food ads.

- The Washington Times - Friday, May 11, 2018

London Mayor Sadiq Khan is under fire once again for prioritizing a ban on junk food advertising for the city’s transportation network while citizens grapple with a spate of stabbings.

A flood of negative social-media feedback greeted Mr. Khan on Friday as he unveiled a “package of measures” aimed at curbing childhood obesity. The policy was touted as a “great example” by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, but panned in Mr. Khan’s Twitter feed.

London has one of the highest childhood obesity rates in Europe, with 40% of children aged 10 & 11 overweight or obese,” Mr. Khan tweeted. “As part of a package of measures in our new London Food Strategy — we’re proposing to ban harmful junk food ads from the entire Transport for London network.”

BBC reported “between eight and 15 ‘knife crimes with injury’ on average each day in London.”
