Mayor Khan is threatening to break up the Met police. I actually agree. The Met is far too big and has too many responsibilities, as well as the usual local policing they also have responsibility for Royal and diplomatic protection of VIPS, Anti terrorism and of course most days there are demos in London far more so than anywhere else. Add to that that the Head of the Met reports to the Mayor and also the Home Secretary and you have confused reporting lines. They should strip out national responsibilities like Anti terrorism and either give that to the National Crime Agency or create a new body reporting directly to the Home Secretary. The Mayor should be left with the usual policing duties the same as any other city.

So hows that ULEZ charging scheme going then? Next time a politician says we should charge drivers by the mile remind them of this. Fines are for the honest hard working citizen the rest just dodge them. Foreigners and ULEZ combined - that's the golden ticket for the Mail.

Which means it applies to absolutely anything reliant on number plates to catch the offender, obviously - should we just do away with speeding cameras too? It's a complete non-point.

I think my point is that ULEZ is being talked up by some politicians as the way forward for charging motorists when the fuel levy charge falls significantly and they need tax revenue. My point is that there is already widespread evasion so any charge by the mile schemes will fall on the honest. At least with the fuel levy even the crooks have to buy petrol and so pay it.

Normally driving a BMW. Normally in close proximity to where kids play. T0.ssers.

Hmmm…if the number plate logged at DVLA determines whether the vehicle is compliant, how do TfL know if the foreign registered vehicle is compliant or not to be able to try and issue a ticket? Or is there somebody at TfL that knows what every vehicle’s CO2 emissions are from a grainy photo?
hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing. |

According to this article the number of ULEZ charges has doubled since the scheme was expanded. So Khan is raking it in, but I thought he said of his critics that the number of non compliant vehicles was being grossly exaggerated by them? If that was correct then surely you would not see a 100% increase. But it will add 13 minutes to the average life expectancy of Londoners so that's good. Don't waste it.

Vote 'Susan Hall' who has vowed to scrap ULEZ charge as soon as she is handed the reigns. Consign Sadiq Khan that woke, virtue signalling,pipsqueak,dunderwhelp,reptilian creep to the dustbin of history. If you seriously believe that any Tory is one, going to have the want to drop that sort of revenue stream, and two would ever be allowed, then you are to put it nicely, very gullible my good man. The Tories are behind this revenue giant 100% of the way.
