And what on earth could that possibly have to do with politics?

Sorry to be off topic but

Maybe they should give their millions to Sadie Khan to bail out TFL instead of ripping off motorists?
Actually it could be better used to clean up all the toxicity on the London Underground.

Clean air and wholesome cricket are natural bedfellows, Mr Eh.[/quote

Couldn't agree more, except ULEZ has nothing to do with clean air.

You can argue that there are ulterior motives or that there are better ways of getting to clean air. But to claim that ULEZ is nothing at all to do with clean air seems to be losing the plot.

ULEZ of course is relevant to cricket as you won't be able to drive to The Oval in a non-exempt car without paying the charge. Shocking.

Oh, hang on a moment, you haven't been able to do that for years.

It is curious how this ULEZ extension is the focus of so much anger compared to the original LEZ and the extension of ULEZ out to the NCR and the South Circular Goat Path).

"Clean air" is the pretext. If it were the genuine reason he would simply ban non-compliant vehicles from entering his fiefdom, rather than allow those who can least afford it to continue to do so as long as they pay him £12.50 a day in order to be able to earn a living. What a socialist hero!

The original ULEZ and  extension impacted a fraction of the people that this vindictive London-wide extension will, and a far higher proportion of those living in outer London drive and rely on their vehicles.[/quot

Etc ,etc and etc!!!!!!
Incidentally I filled in the the survey mentioned on this forum,funny enough there was not one question about ULEZ in it!! Perhaps because it is CRICKET survey!!!!

Even if you believe a non compliment car is a polluter, you can still use it but it'll cost you £12.50 to leave your house. Orwell had the right idea, but he was 40 years too early. Pull down the cameras! Oh they are as we speak, 90% are out of action in South London and now they are saying the signage where it even exists isn't lawful. It's an ill thought out flop.

I have a suggestion to make: why not make a new post called ULEZ, so you and fellow critics can rant amongst yourselves instead of cluttering this cricket site with your drivel??

But point taken. I can't vouch for others though.
