Well thats what happens when the electorate read the headlines from newspapers etc & do not bother to look behind the headlines or don't do any research/analysis -we have become so used to forming an opinion or a view based on a quick flick through newspaper headlines.

His mainfesto clearly states that he will " freeze all TFL fares" ; his campaign website allso carries the same message " freeze all TFL fares". That is what he will do. One can ask why this was not explained to Londoners by the media/by the mayor & the distinction not drawn during the election campaign between TFL and non TFL fares. There was so much coverage & we were all happy reading about his dad being a bus driver/or the Cameron episode about Sadiq Khan affiliations with some alleged ISIS sympathiser - who he had met at what meeting etc - complete distraction from the real issues.

Waiting for the next chapter on the Garden Brdige acros the Thames where costs have escalated - over £60m public money - £30m from TFL and £30m from Treasury, total cost around £200m & then further annual running costs, undecided yet who will pay for that - I guess it will be us Council Tax payers as usual. He has gone from"conditional support" during the campaign, to "support" for the scheme as mayor.

It is our fault for not scrutinising what we read & not challenging them , so we end up electing the wrong people !
