Possibly. I'm right on the border. I have a car for day to day that is compliant
and a van that is only used occasionally. Fishing and family trips etc.

The van will get charged. But I only every drive out of the Borough away from London.
I'm hoping I.can work out a route that misses cameras. I'm like a handful of roads and a quarter of a mile max to get outside.

If I had a vehicle that wasn't ULEZ compliant and I only lived a few streets away from the border I'd take my chances and cover my plates up, hardly ever see a copper about these days anyway
And for what it's worth I totally agree with vandalising these cameras, not that I would do it myself as it is criminal damage and if this thing gets the go ahead then it's only our money they're spending on replacing them anyway, it's a disgrace and has nothing to do with cleaner air, London is more congested now than ever but according to Sadist Khan the air in central London is cleaner than the suburbs, utter bull****, if the c**t really cared about the health of young children why doesn't he just ban the vehicles altogether?
Of course he won't because he's budgeted to rake in 200 million a year in charges to keep TFL Bouyant so the fat cats within can keep taking their £100,000 a year salary's
For those of you that actually travel in London you'll know that if you take the rush hour out of the equation then 90% of London buses are virtually empty most of the time yet contribute to massive congestion and they're not all green
It's a scam and we should be more like the French who don't put up with the **** we do
Just like to add I have a ULEZ compliant vehicle so this doesn't affect me but it's something I feel very strongly about as its the poorer people in society that it affects
I grew up in inner London through the late 50's to the 90's and believe me the air wasn't too clean back then as most people had coal fires, I'm 64 now, smoked until I was 30 and amazingly my lungs feel pretty good....that's after spending the best part of my life working in or around central London, it's a scam and eventually people will suss it out
If the c**t is prepared to do this through a cost of living crisis god only knows what he is capable of

I have a compliant car as well but as you say it's the poorer who are already suffering who are going to suffer more, and if they work unsociable hours and work past midnight they'll get charged twice.

Yes.
It's been said he's doing the expansion mid term so by the time election time comes around he hopes it will be forgotten. Not sure he would get back in if there was an election tomorrow.

Working in central London is completely different from doing leisure in London.
I worked in central London day in and day out for decades not really giving it much thought, wasted so many opportunities, now when I go, I go for leisure and realise how much London has to offer.

I've noticed manor farm Essex advertising tickets, just made me wonder if a few had dropped out now knowing if you live out the area you will get hit with £25 extra every time you go for 24hrs or more.

They do but unfortunately there isn't anyone else with a big enough persona to go up against him and the trouble is once this is in it's in and all of those opposing him now, once in power they'll be quite happy to keep it going to generate revenue (tax) cos let's face it that is what this is, to all authorities, governments, local authority's and of course the mayor of London there is no such thing as a bad tax
He keeps on going on about finances for TFL and slams the government at every opportunity and then goes with the begging bowl asking for more cash to prop TFL up, it's all about relieving you/us of our hard earned finances, in a time when when said finances are cut to the quick what with everything else that is going on
Personally I think it's all to do with the globalists net zero agenda which they are already saying needs to be brought forward to 2040, for that to happen societal change will need to be massive
Eventually it will be impossible for the average person to own a car and I doubt going down the electric route will work en masse
Places like Oxford and possibly Canterbury next are just the start.....15 min city's my arse!
Sorry chaps when off on a slight tangent there😊
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
