You are the carbon they want to reduce. It's not about drivers, it's not about money, that being a convenient side effect, it's about your liberty, they want you atomised, in the pod, eating the bugs, playing the video games. They don't want you to get married, they don't want you to raise kids, they don't want you to have a foreign holiday, or indeed any holidays at all. They just want you to live, consume and die. You are to these globalhomos of Davos little more than cattle, something kept in a pen and killed when the time is right.
I visited London last week. First time in years. I was there for three days and between parking and congestion charges I poppied up 150 quid. The roads are quieter in central London than they were, but the usual bureaucratic tampering with traffic controls, cycle lanes, speed limits, road closures, etc, still meant it took longer to get out of London than it did to drive the rest of the way to Leeds.
Whilst there, if it was too far to walk I took the underground. Presumably that’s part of the plan. I can’t think of any other adjective than nightmarish. Hot, crowded aggressive and intimidating. I’m pretty sure the air down there is far more dangerous than it ever has been on the surface.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but Sadiq Khans policies seem to be designed to wilfully destroy the capital both physically and spiritually. Some kind of fifth columnist softening us up for some long term plan.
Khan gets on well with Hidalgo (mayor of Paris who is even more of an ideolgue than he is) and both are members of C40, the boondongle for mayors around the globe to share best practice in buggering up cities. ULEZ is indeed a revenue filip dressed up as a moral crusade, but is also part of the 'war on the car" in which Khan is following Hidalgo.
During his tenure as mayor and oberleutnant of TFL there has been a proliferation of traffic jams caused by pedestrianisation of streets, cycle lanes, one way systems, traffic light sequencing to hold up traffic on certain routes, lane closures and inappropriate 20mph limits on some roads (e.g Park Lane), and the latest clogging scheme is the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street. (Stopped in 2018 when we voted against but now going ahead under a Labour council, Labour mayor and Labour government) Yet, a city is a living thing. It's arteries need to flow. For over ten years I have watched my city slowly dying. I think that process is about to accelerate.
I have driven in Mexico and India. Densley populated and anarchic - there may be highway code equivalents but the behaviour of everyone suggest no-one ever reads them - yet they work. Traffic flows albeit densley in places.
In Mexico City cops wait by certain traffic lights (in my day anyway) and seeing a likely mark (me) would allege some infringement. One never paid a bribe directly but offered a contribution to police welfare. That done you were on your way. It was about a pound at the then exhange rate. A lot cheaper than the congestion charge in London. Appalled at the corruption - I was young, naive and very English - I now see its benefits: a direct negotiation between citizen and agent in which rates were low enough to keep traffic flowing. I think I now prefer that to the extractive tyranny of the state.
Now he wants to pedestrianise Oxford St, like the pedestrianisation of town centres has worked anywhere else, once bustling market towns are now empty ghost towns full of charity shops and money laundering outfits that sell mobile phone covers and haircuts. Pedestrianisation has never worked anywhere and that's because it's not meant to. The C40 agenda is all about 'de-growth,' itself code for Marxism.
The Ulez was nothing more than an entrepreneurial perversion of policy. The instruments of measure are controversial and predictive modelling is more so enthusiastically optimistic than based on reason. I've written an essay detailing multiple studies that show a barely perceptible impact on London air pollution and how this type of policy has a negative impact in an assortment of ways not related to air pollution on my stack.
A friend of mine had to shut down his business employing 10 people which all paid Tax he had 5 vans that his electrician workers drove into London every day and because he couldn’t get loans for 5 new electric vans and had to pay over 100k in tax every year it became too expensive to pay ULEZ congestion charges parking and fines and if you drive 3 mph over 20 miles an hour speeding limit you get fined 100 pounds and 3 points off your license ..how to bankrupt a company or family so many people are leaving London businesses are closing down there is no soul or joy anymore just CCTV cameras everywhere which doesn’t make you feel safe it’s like everywhere you go you think some weirdo Pedo is watching you There s no sense of freedom no Police on the streets to make you feel safe The sad thing is he can’t afford to pay for his family to have a nice life now and he and his employees are all on benefits now Thanks to Sadiqs WEF global agenda to bankrupt us all in the name of UN WEF Fake Climate Change and Net Zero build back better bs

You are so right about "ghost towns full of charity shops and money laundering outfits". Beautifully put.
Eeeeek!
Was it ever anything else😡
