London ULEZ expansion is going ahead

[pquinn]

People will always find a new problem to worry/complain about.

Especially if they can maintain their employment in the process researching it.

As Khan is the chair of C40 cities. Who want to remove private car ownership I see he has no conflict of interest in any of this...

He was a bus driver after all. Perhaps he wants to make sure his old job will still be there, when he is no longer mayor?
Anyone who is fooled into thinking Khans expansion of the ULEZ is to do with the environment are kidding themselves.
It is just Khan doing another money grab, and using the environment as his big stick.

Correction.

His dad was the bus driver, not Khan junior.

Noted, What did Kahn do before becoming mayor? it seems he has a serious problem with cars, and car users.

Before politics (he was MP for Tooting), I think he was a lawyer or some description

Legal aid “human rights” solicitor. Hating cars is just a fashionable opinion.

Edit - before he was in politics, I mean

From one of today's demonstrations. I wonder if they'll make the news.

What was the turnout?

A nice cash grab from outer London in to the coffers of inner London. Master stroke from the little guy.

Another Geoff Buys Cars video worth highlighting.

I think I saw a figure of 2,500. This is the only news coverage of it.

To be fair, a demo that size (Mail quoting ‘hundreds’) wouldn’t garner that much news anyway. There was also a sizeable Stop The War/CND demo as well and that has barely registered in the media. Demos like these are pretty frequent so unless numbers register in the tens of thousands and significant disruption is caused, it simply isn’t newsworthy.

It’s not a conspiracy that it’s not being reported, it’s just a common thing that often happens in London.

O/T but anti lockdown protests absolutely were in the 10's of thousands and yet got virtually zero MSM coverage.....

The latest wheeze dreamt up by the idiots who support Khans enlargement of the ULEZ is Waiiiiit for it! A Tyre Tax!
It seems as though they have realized, that once they have got rid of ICE vehicles on London`s roads, and most if not all cars are EVs or similar, they will need another big tax stick, to extort cash from the motoring public.
Perhaps the response to this continuing chain of extortion methods, is to do what people did, when Thatcher tried to launch the poll tax, where the majority of the public just say b*llox to the repeated extortion being applied to the motoring public, and where the majority simply refuse to pay these spurious attempts to extract even more cash from the public?
Enough is enough.

Does that mean you are better off driving a Morgan 3-wheeler or will you be caught out by ULEZ?

Personal insults as you have to pay extra to drive a crappy old diesel into the best served location for public transport in the UK - classy

Road user charging for London… consultation open

Whilst I realise this is a very one sided video effing hell life looks bleak in this country. Sadiq Khan (aka tosspot) has a lot to answer for.

Thankfully I don’t live in a city and very rarely visit one (2-3 times a year) so it’s impact on me will probably be limited initially (although who knows where this will go).

I imagine an awful lot of number plates might get doctored or fall off and I would be having a backup unregistered phone so I couldn’t be tracked that way either.

Every time I see one more of our freedoms being eroded I think once I’ve finished my working life I am sodding off somewhere where the government doesn’t seem to want to have its fingers in every aspect of my life.

Infact once I demob in about 5 years time I’m really struggling to think of a reason to stay here if the country is going down this route. We might just sod off elsewhere then instead.

You're clearly an extreme right wing conspiracy theorist that's afraid of change. Be gone.

And yet it is left wing countries like Russia, China and North Korea who are producing the most global CO2 and pollution. Funny that!
