I guess it would make much more sense from the point of view of reducing pollution to just have a blanket ban on all the most polluting cars, with no option to come in to the zone. But then, of course, the media would fill their pages with stories of poor old folk who only come in to town once a flood and yet NOW they have to buy a new car to do so because there's just no leeway with a blanket ban.faldO wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2023 11:06 amIndeed...Loin Cloth Lenny wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2023 10:13 am Yes I agree with what you say , especially ‘who would not want to save the lives of children’. This is where I find it odd. We want to save their lives but if you pay £12.50 it does not really matter , carry on polluting!

But you both know that. (Not sure Lee does, mind - he doesn't really do thinking)
He’s not.

Agree, must be offences there, saying what he has said. Like if Adnam Chowdry had suggested killing someone.

He should certainly be charged with having that dodgy haircut in public as well.

Im with you that's it's just a money grab.ComeOnYouOs wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2023 6:31 pm Even though its now 2 weeks since this came into effect, and even though my own car meets the Ulez criteria, Im still really angry with this.
The dishonesty from the Mayor is breathtaking.
Its about grabbing money, nothing else. I read somewhere this will put an average of 13 mins on our lives.
I shall certainly be giving who i vote for in next Mays mayoral election some thought, but it wont be a vote for Khan

It's amazing how by paying £12.50 means that pollution goes away.
Good question.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2023 6:40 pm Do you not think he should be addressing climate change and pollution?
Why do you think that taking the most polluting vehicles off the road will have only a "little effect" on pollution?ComeOnYouOs wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2023 8:37 pmGood question.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2023 6:40 pm Do you not think he should be addressing climate change and pollution?
This will have such little effect ( if any), on pollution, it really isnt worth the cost to the poorer people of our city. As Ive said, it doesnt affect me personally, as my car is Ulez complient ( at the moment),
Its just gesture politics." Oh look at me, Im doing something about dirty air", when he's not really
This is just honest opinion
