Default Go Porsche!!!!

They won their case against that cunt Ken Livingston!

No £25 charge and Borris Johnson said he was happy to scrap it.

The Greenies are really pissed off as well so it's a win win situation!

They didn't win their case though - Borris just dropped introducing it!

Still good news mind!

Ken wanted to hike the congestion charge to £25 a day for gas guzzlers. Porsche challenged this in court and won.

Ken is now on the news bleating about the £50m that will now be missing from the mayors budget. Hold on a minute Ken you said this was a move for the environment not a revenue making excercise. 2 faced slimey bastard
