I said not accepting it, not protesting it
You’re splitting hairs, it’s the same thing. Anyway that plonker certainly doesn’t accept it. We have all heard him speaking numerous times. Also who’s bankrolling the pratt to stand outside Parliament every day

Not accepting the outcome of a vote is what happened in America with trump and his conspirators.

The outcome of the EU vote has been accepted. 100%. Wishing it hadn’t and wanting to rejoin is totally different.

Youre right, it was a very good read.

Some of these out and out racists, who have been tweeting racist nonsense on Twitter non stop since Mayor Khan won, should be reading this

Bitter eh? Dunno if you’re being deliberately dense but the £12.50 a day is to discourage drivers of older, polluting vehicles from going in to London. He could simply ban all these vehicles but that would lead to an even bigger pushback. Reckon he got it about right and this election result supports that premise.
I know numerous van owners who still use their old vans daily and pay the charge as thee vans are low mileage and they allegedly pollute at the expense of their customers who pay the bill so as for being dense, you should look in the mirror you silly boy.
So you know a bunch of selfish a-holes who prefer to pollute the air and then rook their customers to pay for it. Nice company you keep but it doesn't change what the charge is intended to do does it?
The people I know have mouths to feed, some very young children. Way it is.

Fair enough and there needs to be that option. The £250 per month may not be sensible long term however. I know someone who scrapped their van for £7k but its not enough for a replacement
My son had ti scrap his and agree , well short of a replacement. He uses an Estate car with a roof rack and has to make do best he can .

Fair enough. My previous comment was a bit OTT. I’ll save my ire for those who oppose anything Khan does merely because of who he is. I’m sure there are genuine hardship cases which could/should have been mitigated by a proper compensation process.

Is it too late to have the vote again?
