There is a furious debate in Cambridge about charging cars coming into Cambridge, forcing people to ride bikes and creating new bus services. The GCP, the unelected quango are pushing it through aided by the lib dems ans labour ruling councils.
Of course no one wants it for thousands of reasons, lets not get into that, but focus on the people trying to invoke nonsense, quoting lies that people are dying from car exhausts, and that doing this will save the planet.
As far as i know, no politician is against this, and all are trying to push it through perverting democracy. A comparison is that officials in nazi germany killed jews because they were told too.
Is it true that we cannot trust any politician, that at the end of the day they will do whats best for them? I reckon so, and its frightening. If this conduit for dictatorship works, whats next? Re joining the EU? Being spied on by cameras.? Having no say in anything like immigration and illegal immigration which is the case now.
A closed limited news service that only spouts safe stuff? The BBC and ITV are identical, the truth about the holy crap this country is in doesnt get aired. And that we are on thre brink of war?, and have been for generations.
Will Britain be eventually ruled by a dictatorship in Brussels, ruled by the dictators in the Whitehouse. The Eu are in tandem, Biden is messing in stuff he has no right to mess in, keeping Britain under EU law.
And that common sense left generations ago. We are ruled by the people who are the least able to do it...at all.

Probably, piglet, but not the people who vote for them, they just tell them whatever they think they want to hear at any given time, then do as their real masters tell them they will do, backed up with enough cash and future opportunity of course. |

It would be interesting to be able to observe the changes in people who become politicians, from being an ordinary common sense individual, to being a lying, subversive, manipulative, slave to god knows what. Money will be involved somewhere.
There should be an advantage for a politician to be able to absorb real facts from government agencies as an aid to making decisions, which isnt the case. Cambridge traffic isnt killing people, yet those people say it is, and kills the planet. Wrong.
Are politicians implementing policies using false data to impose stuff that is just plain bonkers, and if so, should be called out and fired. For instance, a 65 year old woman on a cold sunday evening in mnus two in january has to get on a bike, in the rain because she cant afford to use a car. etc, there must be a million such things. And then gets a pouncture.
Khan, cambridge city council, Labour, lib dems are just taking the piss, and taking politics into criminality.

Khan is being taken to Court for his ULEZ expansion, he is not listening to anyone certainly not the public , he did state he was going to hold a consultation process , but he had already ordered the new cameras before the so called called consolation debate happened then anyone who objected were labelled " Right Wingers"
The cost to thousands of people living in London who own noncompliant vehicles will be enormous,

Anyone in LOndon if he does not buy into this is of no consequence as decisions are made elsewhere by those who know best. "The C40 Chair As the elected leader of the C40 organisation, the Chair plays a key role in raising the bar on climate ambition around the world and advocating for the role of cities in addressing the climate crisis. © Greater London Authority Meet C40 Chair, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan Mayor of London Sadiq Khan became C40 Chair in December 2021. In a keynote speech given during COP26 in Glasgow, Mayor Khan committed to align C40’s budget and staffing behind efforts to tackle air pollution worldwide and support emissions reduction strategies – particularly in Global South cities on the frontline of the climate crisis, putting social justice at the heart of his vision for C40 cities. Together we can and we must utilise the power of cities across the globe and continue to lead the charge when it comes to tackling the climate crisis, taking the necessary action now – not in 10, 20 or 30 years time – but now. – Mayor of London and C40 Chair Sadiq Khan at COP26" www.c40.org/leadership/the-chair/Be very aware he is using the voting power of London to further an agenda that as far as I can see was never put to the people of London that they would outsource electoral decisions to a group of 'decision makers' almost all of whom are not in any way accountable to the people of London. He certainly needs to get the boot ASAP and someone who is London centric and decides on issues for London. |

Except of course when they have been caught red handed thinking every voter is a complete moron, which might have been very true for a very long-time, but things are changing fast. Which has caught them completely off guard and they are all still repeating the same nonsense in the hope we will all be fooled again. |

No, the cost to everyone in London will be enormous because no vehicle will remain compliant for long. |

That's the one saving grace. But it's also the reason that the Tories aren't doing anything about ULEZ (they could stop it) but they know that it will make Labour and Khan extremely unpopular.

These schemes are going in in every major city. I said this before, but what we are witnessing is the death of private transport. They don't want you driving, full stop.

I have thought for a some time, but then again they want every penny they can squeeze out of us, but then again if there was only private transport for the masses that would mean the Transport Unions would hold the whip hand, not only of the masses but the Government as well  |

The scientists advising the Government want the closure of every UK airport apart from 3, all UK imports and exports transported by train. Cars will become smaller and can only be used if full of passengers, eating beef and lamb to be banned and for people to turn their heating down at home and wear more clothes to keep warm instead.
