The Poison Dwarf is extending the ULEZ beyond the North Circular road next year

Well they say they are looking at the feasabiliy of it, well cameras are going up already so it is going ahead

I dont know how far it is going to be extended

I guess it will at some point be the whole of everything inside the M25

I dont know if you live inside the ULEZ can you still drive around and its not until you leave and re-enter the zone you get charged

There are maps of the safety cameras, but no maps of the ULEZ cameras (as if they are ever going to release a map of thoose cameras)

They are just to make money nothing else, there is no incentive for anyone to change cars or even use London Transport

I am not even sure what vehicles are allowed on the roads any more or where they can go

I know you can go on the NCR, but if you go outside it, BANG, you get a £12.50 charge, but it depends which way you leave I guess

I find it really hard to believe that he got back into power, he said he was going to extend the ULEZ and people still voted him back in (I guess all the drivers on the M40, A40, M4, M1, M3 and other motorways leading into London dont have a vote

I can remember when the congestion charge was first touted out

The money was to be used for making bus and train travel cheaper, it was a great idea and London Transport was in favour of it and had the hard ware (buses and underground trains) to cope with the influx of new passengers

I dont know what happened, but fares were never reduced and the money was used to fund various charities and various other things (one was the Single Muslim Mothers of Mercy, I dont know what happened to them, but they are gone now)

They were getting more money than they knew what to spend it on

This ULEZ charge isnt doing anything to reduce pollution, traffic is slower, queues are longer (most days the traffic is back to Denham on the M40 and A40, I dont think its any better on the M4

I dont know what the poison dwarf is doing with the money, but its an awful lot he is getting each day

Air isnt a bubble over London, there is wind, rain so the air changes, so does pollution I assume
