That the lovely mayor wants to stop people dying of the pollution that the cars make. But if you pay £12.50 the people he says he is saving can go fuck themselves. Just about sums it up.
...and BREATHE! Great little rant :) These twats in power honestly believe there is a bottomless pocket they can help themselves to in pursuit of their political fantasies.
I just received a speeding NIP for 35mph so I'm doubly sick of the Big Brother surveillance right now.
Yes I’m still battling with the council over son’s school. Lord knows if he will even be going back next week way it’s currently going but hey, all these folk have our interests at heart…..apparently.
I hope your son gets sorted soon. If your council is like mine they probably spend like sailors on anything to do with LGBTxyz+ promotion whilst all the services they provide are woeful. 🤬
My dad is on the corner of a ULEZ, visiting him without getting a fine is going to be a challenge. If he wasn’t totally bedbound (and dying) leaving his cul-de-sac would cost him £12.50 per day as there are cameras to both the right and left on the main road.
Like his 4 times per day carers, I am on a min wage, the fine is more than an hour’s pay.
He barely knows I am there, but his wife (who doesn't drive incidentally) can see it's nothing more than a cash grab... and she is not particularly awake to any of the other 'stuff' from the past 3 or more years.
The concentration of the country's resources in city hubs, principally London, leads to crowded populations in those places. London has the best public transport in the country but still needs its roads because everyone living there needs to get to work, and some work requires a vehicle. The roads are crammed as are the tubes and buses. To maintain a thriving economy people need to get around: builders, trades people, taxis, etc. Children have respiratory problems because of the road pollution so what's the solution? Spread out the resources throughout the country to even things up a bit? No. Hammer everyone with road congestion charges and get poorer people off the road and unable to travel, leaving the roads clearer for the rich. Don't bother to put decent public transport in place everywhere first. That's too hard. Stick to the gimmicks. It's not a viable solution.
If he really cared about respiratory problems he would be ensuring people live in damp free, mould free accommodation as that is a major factor in Asthma.
But we never hear anything about that do we? He doesn’t.
I live near Dartford and one of my customers wants me to take her to get her eyes tested next week in Swanley (takes about 20 mins from her house). That's gonna cost me 12.50 which she will pay me as it'll still be cheaper than a cab for her. I just can't stand it! I literally can't get anywhere without gettin stung! It's so depressing! 😒 xx
Someone sent me a quote.

Yes it’s elitism.
Hopefully will be his poll tax moment, hopefully 🙏

Crazy times hey?🙄

Still, at least he gets to die breathing in pretendy clean air, hey? I’m sure he must appreciate your sacrifice rather than your company.
I think…..
Hmm……🤔🤷♀️🤬
(The bastards)

The backlash over Ulez is one of those things that has united many people with different views. That at least is a positive x
It's completely immoral and unworkable.
Couldn’t agree more Julie, London today, rest of the nation tomorrow
Mission creep
We really are being led by donkeys aren’t we.
Whatever happened to “Great” Britain? I’m can see no end to this insanity..
It will get worse before it gets better, sadly.💔
Yes. Perfect.

Ridiculous isn’t it?
Yet all these people bazz about as and when they feel like it in limos and on private jets.
Brilliat, sharing ❤️
