The whole ULEZ thing gives me a sad little LOL, as I've seen it in our local Bromley Facebook group first hand. An admin asked, what's everyone's biggest concerns for the area, with a sidenote to not mention ULEZ as it's unproductive. I made the mistake of casually saying in my comment something to the effect of, most cars that get done for ULEZ likely won't pass their next MOT anyway, so who actually cares about it? The amount of teeth gnashing and wailing I got in response, good grief. There were like 50 responses, most of them using my current least favourite word (tyranny), most of them calling Sadiq Khan a Nazi who wants to turn London Sharia, most of them saying it was a breach of their human rights, etc. loving brainwashed pricks. To be fair, my car passes it so I don't give a poo poo, but if you're driving an old beater around anyway it should come off the road. The ULEZ doesn't go nearly far enough, but these fiends understand that the Overton Window is real and they push back on it with all their energy. Utterly unhinged and deranged.

Sharia is when you have to pay a tiny fraction of the lung damage that you're causing to people

I was wondering, not that I've ever been but who's driving around the middle of london? I take the bus into boro center occasionally never mind if I lived somewhere with regular services. I don't imagine there's much in the way of free parking or quiet times in the middle of loving london.

I honestly am not sure what kind of car would trigger the ULEZ cost. I drive a 22 year old 2l petrol car. The yearly tax because of the emissions is £300... Yet I've checked and it's not a car for which I would need to pay the ULEZ or clean air zones fee in any part of the country that currently has them. I'm not actually sure who these zones affect.

Gorn Myson posted:I think its uncharacteristic of Starmer to support Arsenal. If asked what football team he supports he should reply "I will not be drawn into debates about football teams. The British public know that if I were to pick a side, it would be a good side, it would be a side that works for Great Britain, it would be a side that grows the economy and thats what I promise under the first term of a Labour government." antisemitic of him to support arsenal, the same club jeremy corbyn supports

Mourning Due posted:The whole ULEZ thing gives me a sad little LOL, as I've seen it in our local Bromley Facebook group first hand. Thing is, there's only fifty of the fuckers total but they all have facebook accounts and poster printers. It's one of those things where once it comes in the controversy will go away entirely, so naturally labour want to have public agonies over it for the next year or so.

The Newcastle one only affects commercial vehicles like taxis & vans, not private cars. I'm sure there's some small taxi driver Facebook group up in arms, but no one else is shouting about it.

Yes, one bus with between 10 and 70 people powered by an old diesel engine is better than between 10 and 70 cars with 1 person in it

Which is better than I thought to be honest but still, 90% of buses are diesel. I have no idea if this includes like coaches and school buses and all that poo poo. forkboy84 posted:Even if they were all diesel powered I'm not sure this is much if a gotcha.
