The United Kingdom has been shrouded in a blanket of smog for the past few days, caused by record levels of pollution.
The U.K. government stated that the situation is temporary and has arisen due to a ‘combination of local emissions, light winds, pollution from the continent and dust blown over from the Sahara', but this allegedly blinkered viewpoint has been widely criticized.
European Commission spokesperson, Joe Hennon, described the prime minister's comments as "more than disappointing" and of showing a "clear misunderstanding" of the air pollution crisis.
