Thumbs down Londons Ulez Zone Expansion

Some areas around the country have brought in this type of scheme but Londons so called mayor Saqik Khan is on a crusade to destroy so many modern classics with this increase in zone boundary, Many think it wont effect them but many have not looked into the knock on effect from this, Event Venues like the Ace Cafe & Alexandra Palace which at moment host all types of events will lose many clubs and car brands as they dont fall into classic or exemption from this charge, Car clubs meets and events will be forced to relocate outside the zones and workers who cross into ulez area's and delivery companys in HGVs will all be hit, heres a few examples of cars it will effect Many cosworths and older fords/ Older Skylines/Somes Hondas / Scoobys and even Mini's up to 86-2000 which are Londons iconic car you name it, and even if you only drive it in your own area you still have to pay, Khan states it's for green reasons he is doing this but everyone knows it's all about his own ego and leaving a legacy in his name once he is finally ousted from office, He is Chauffeur driven around in a V8 Range Rover with a cigar on the go no doubt, This now on top of the recent government announcement that electric cars will have to pay road tax from 2025 and those that switched feel cheated as with electricity pricing its almost same cost now to charge your car as fill it with unleaded so why switch other than to please Greta bleedin Thunberg and her hug a tree loons, government encouraged us to buy diesels back in the day and those that did this have been shafted just the same.

heres a petition thats gathering pace and worth at least voting in, although what good it will do as 80% of voters said NO to this zone increase yet he has done it anyway, just like when he brought in LTNs and cycle lanes plus he is a partner with TFL who's trains and buses are always on strike these days, and its widely reported he was also the main source of witch hunting the Mets Commissioner of Police out of office Cresseda Dick, this Meerkat of a Dictator pops up in front of cameras regular until challenged and then runs off to his waiting Range Rover, his activity will ruin all areas given the chance as other councils around the country are watching ready to do same if he gets away with it, It was bad enough him bringing in phase 1 of this Ulez zone but from August 2023 Phase 2 will effect so many more be you a visitor/worker or resident, Dont be fooled by talk of scrapage schemes and exemptions as all will hurt your bank account none will help you as it will devalue many cars
