If 90% of the cars are passable already, why even pass this law? How is this a solution? Let’s tax the poorest people, the ones who can’t afford newer cars more for “air quality”.
yea, if you know basic math, 10% is a lot. What is 10% of 34 million cars? The result are those many cars polluting the air. Ulez seems to be a good thing.
According to the ULEZ vehicle checker, my 2002 model year Volvo V70, producing 229g of CO2 /km is exempt from the ULEZ charge. In contrast, my 2014 model year VW Golf TDI, producing a mere 106g of CO2 / km does not meet ULEZ standards and incurs the £12.50 per day charge. Pure irony.
Cars fall under Euro 4. Your V70 must be classed as an SUV, van, minivan. I purchased a Range Rover 2024 Velar because it falls under Euro 6 and is thus exempt.
There is a reason 50% of Londoners want it. They’re the 50% who get the fumes in their face when they commute walking. Also all revenue goes to public transport. It’s unfortunate that poor people end up having to foot the bill. There should be way more financing support for people who need to buy Ulez compliant cars, even electric cars. Then the only people complaining would be those who refuse to care about others’ health. The idea you can drive into a city center and shit into city dwellers lungs is the epitome of classism, entitlement. I don’t have a car but I inhale more car fumes than the average suburbanite.
Governments have gotta stop placing responsibility for air pollution on the working class and start going for the manufacturers. All we workers can do is try and make it to next paycheck, making that more difficult wont do much.
Great point but, to be fair every Government no matter what party has done it's very best to crush any manufacturing and Industry this country may of had to the point most have disappeared. Even the working class are thin on the ground in a lot of regions. Gotta screw what they can out of what's left.

I have no sympathy for who still don’t understand that the future are electric.
ULEZ isn't going to improve air quality. It's just going to make people have to pay even more money for their commutes. At a time when UK food & housing prices are at an all time high, no less. Sounds like a terrible idea overall, that will do little more than shore up the government's coffers.

I think the foreign cities comparison part is just utterly ridiculous, as they all have cheap and effective public transport, something we don't have here in Britain. People in the media of this country and the establishment always make a fine art of talking about how "they're doing it, why aren't WE", they're deluded. We should craft solutions that tailor to our people, not copy and pasting from others. Making driving more expensive BEFORE any hefty investments into public transport is such a stupid thing to do. First invest into public transport to make it wide-ranging and cheap, only then should people be talking about charging £12.80 per day to drive your own car.
Honestly, if anyone is a bot it is @thisismetoday. Are you a different person every other day? If you can't stand reality and policy ideas that are meant to benefit the working people, I can't help you. If you disagree with widening massively public transport networks, which would benefit the net zero target, I can't help you.

@@ReviewBoard-uy5nv you will have because the ULEZ private transport regs will make no difference to you. Tfls own reports state it will make negligible difference. Cars have become cleaner since the assessed figure in 2014
@CDima-uy5nv You've gotta be retarded if you think people can just magically get ulez compliant cars, wtf is £2000 gonna do for new cars? And like me, why would we give up cars that we can run into the ground for a long time and get shitty new cars that we can't afford?
This is not enough, we need more to tackle the cars. In Hong Kong if people buy a not electric cars need to pay more than £10,000. In 10 years time in Europe all not electric car will be ban on sales. Why people are still buy those cars?
The scheme is so farcical, that I have received a fine for driving my 2021 registered car in the zone, simply because it is on dateless Northern Ireland number plates. The system only seems to recognise number plates in the two letters, two numbers, three letters format. Anything else and a fine will be sent out. Shocking.
FYI. The camera for ULEZ alone use 0.025 kWh. Once all 2750 of them are on line, that small amount will equate to 250,000 Kg of coal burned a year just to power these oppressive cameras. In the name of lowering emissions. What a joke. Would it not be easier to require an annual emissions check of one’s vehicle and place a passing sticker on once a year?!?
We've been doing that for 25 years in the states ! You have your car inspected every 4 years , they check the emissions , a fix , a sticker and your done .
😂ULEZ is completely unlawful. It's not even a law. It's not a statute or act of Parliament which also can be challenged in higher courts under the law. When you establish a law in a court you cannot retrospectively apply it to the past it can only be applied to that day forward. So all cars purchased before ULEZ was introduced, are lawfully exempt. I will repeat it it cannot be lawful to apply any Rule or law retrospectively
Im a big supporter of efforts to reduce pollution but I really question whats going to be achieved by the Ulez expansion. All petrol cars built after 2004 are Ulez compliant all diesel cars built after 2016 are Ulez compliant meaning that within a few years hopefully all areas of the country will have Ulez type air quality. What Kahn and the Govt in general need to do is invest heavily in the charging infrastructure so that busineeses and individuals can cope with the 2030 switch when all new cars must be hybrid or zero emission. I also serioiusly question why the Govt and Mayor are wedded to one way of reducing emissions. Why not invest in research into fuels that can run in current engines without causing emissions. The original diesel engine ran on chip fat and all diesel cars built until around the 1990s could have run on it for some reason car manufacturers changed that just as people started to find out it was possible.
So if I cannot afford a new car I would get charged £12.50 per day which is nearly as much as rent in some parts of the country.... and this is bound to expand more again.
The British environment minister said that wear from brake linings and tyres on the roads may be more harmful than corrosion caused by petrol and diesel cars, due to the size of the battery in electric cars that generate more polluting fine particles. "Electric cars are usually about 20 to 30 percent heavier than petrol and diesel cars." Batteries for electric cars need rare earth metals such as neodymium, a metal that is used to manufacture magnets with all kinds of electric motors and high-tech devices, making them more difficult to rotate. The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee in the British Parliament has summoned Environment Minister George Eustis to question him about steps to reduce polluting particulate matter known as PM2.5.
When the EU revise imission regulations on ICE vehicles ALL ICE will be paying the ULEZ charge because London will impose it too. Further more, this is just the beginning, it will be rolled out to all cities, towns and villages. Traveling through these areas as you cross the country will cost you a fortune. But am I conspiracy theorist.
This ULEZ charge in london is annoying me so much ! I used to live in london not anymore but I regularly visit with my family and the fact that we are getting charged ? Why? Why are the manufacturers not charged for manufacturing badly made cars to begin with? Why do the car companies get away with this but we as consumers are being charged for buying a car few years back when we didn’t even know about ULEZ? This is the classic rich get richer and poor get poorer concept
So everyone with a compliant vehicle is unaffected. Everyone with a non-compliant vehicle is forced to pay £12.50 - even with a £2000 scrappage scheme, those who can pay will pay, because having your flexibility taken away is absurd. So in the end the CO² emissions stay the same because the same vehicles are still driving. So how does this help the environment, other than to burden people with an extra living expense in a time where living expenses are going up. So dumb.
So all those diesel cars built before 2016 having to be scrapped and replaced when they could have been used for 20 more years and saved thousands of new ones being produced. What a tragedy for the climate, not to mention the economic disaster it is for London with millions of people choosing to avoid going there now.
4:13 Only 27 per cent oppose the expansion, yet the BCC is only bringing us those voices. And why on earth would you still play Johnson - a disgraced politician, now civilian, who has been proven to lie whenever it suits him. Fantastically balanced reporting, guys. Well done
I thought it was a pretty balanced report actually giving the advantages and disadvantages with the facts of the ULEZ system actually and yeah 27% from a poll may be opposed to it. As polls are not always completey accurate that number would be far higher in outer london then inner London as we saw in Johnson seat of Uxbridge and Ruslip where the Conseratives held on when really they should of been booted out after partygate. You charge working class people including many Labor supporters 12.50 pounds a day for people who drive old cars many more of them are in outer London and you are going to get a voter backlash as a result of that. This is the difference between providing a plan for a cleaner greener enviornment and making the cost of living harder for poorer people. As a Labor supporter I can totally understand where they are coming from.
12.50 x 30 days =375 pound from pour people bigger scam ever and nice money for TFL The poorest car owners will be charged £12.50 per day just for driving in their own city. This is wrong.
All for money, we already pay extortionate premiums for insurances and road tax, now this? I have a new car anyways but I find this a joke. Don’t get me wrong you see some cars chucking out some terrible emissions but you can fine them, not charge a premium everyday for anyone that owns an older car..
this is a tax it will soon be pay per mile and every one will be paying it. this needs to stop and this net zero too as it is costing the country money and the big company's eletric gas etc are making more money.
So is the right to private life, Economy and social life. All the above are Human rights Too. The man claim 4000 death are caused by air pollution created by none complying vehicles but it ok to carry on as normal as long as you pay a fee. What about knife crime 20 plus death a year?
Let's be clear: Sadiq Khan's concern for children's health is questionable, given that he has his own kids living in the city with him and drives his heavy Range Rover a short distance for a dog walk. If pollution truly had such severe consequences, causing illnesses like stunted lungs, asthma, and Alzheimer's, and if it were irrefutably established as the cause, we would expect a more substantial response from actual parents demonstrating outside number 10 and emotional pleas on the news. It's worth noting that few healthy kids died from the flu, yet many were medicated en masse not too long ago £$€. We're aware that one of Khan's toughest decisions involved buying cameras first and then proceeding with the lucrative ULEZ poor tax despite significant opposition during public consultation, and then implementing it regardless, without alienating the majority and downplaying the minority by influencing the BBC to curtail truthful reporting. This was achieved by categorizing vehicles into "good/new/ who are wealthy people's cars" and "bad/old/who are poor people's cars." The most vulnerable and voiceless individuals, trapped in car debt and ineligible for the impractical scrapping scheme, are the first to bear the burden. London's congestion issue persists, enabling those who can afford it to continue driving their ULEZ-compliant Range Rover V8s and 31 mpg 2-liter Jaguars to school because walking is deemed too perilous for the rich peoples kids. Meanwhile, carers, nurses, shift workers, joiners, and plumbers who rely on older, more fuel-efficient 55+ mpg vehicles face penalties due to their "old and bad" classification. Interestingly, the London Tube contains toxic particles - dust, metal, skin, and clothing fibers - stirred up by passing trains, and air quality inside carriages is 18 times worse than even the most polluted high streets. Despite this, the mayor and TFL maintain that it's safe, withholding studies on air quality that they commissioned themselves. Why not address the dire state of social housing in London, which detrimentally affects children's physical and mental health? Damp, molds, and poor air quality within inadequately insulated housing owned by neglectful landlords and councils leave them unable to afford proper heating. An estimated 3.6 million children bear this burden. If the yearly spike in lung conditions is to be believed, perhaps the real causes are closer to home than his ULEZ poor tax on the vulnerable. The mayor can't profit from issues he ignores, which could very well be the underlying reasons for these illnesses.
I and my family will not be visiting London for our bi-annual stays , in protest of the ridiculous ‘human’ being, and his policies ! Even though we have what are classed, compliant vehicles. I have friends who are doing the same
In it funny media never mention or challenge Khan riding round in big fuel guzzling range rovers with his army of gangsters , wish we had old school unafraid reporting.
People forget outer london boroughs have a lot of regular back and forth traffic between them and the home counties. ULEZ may cause disconnection between outer london and the neighbouring counties on which many rely either side of the border on for jobs, shopping and seeing relatives, especially from rural areas surrounding where residents use cars to get to local towns in london boroughs, like Bexleyheath, Barnet or Upminster
Let’s not forget Heathrow where anyone outside of London’s transport system has to drive to use. I get that this is a London mayor making these calls but that ignores the fact that this is a national piece of infrastructure that we are now taxed to use.
Gotta love the way BoJo tries to sidestep the issue by calling the expansion "new". It's nothing of the sort. He was the one who started ULEZ in the first place. No mention of that from him. Talk about politicians having conveniently short memories.
Constructive comment. Do some reading, understand the issues being discussed, come back with something more fruitful. Consensus is ulez is a non pollution managing implementation, serving only to make the rich richer while those already struggling suffer further.
3:05 This literally says NOTHING. It could have so may reasons for that to be the case. 1. Have you ever considered the fact that the people in outer London have to drive into London every day, therefore being on the road for a long time every day, therefore sitting right in the middle of exhaust pipes? That might be a reason GPs in outer London have more to do on asthma. 2. Many people work in central London all their life and move out of London when they’re older, and that’s also the time when they develop and suffer from asthma as a consequence from living in London. I’m sure many people also move out of London as a result of an asthma diagnosis. 3. What is the date of this study even? Could it be very recent reflecting ULEZ already being in place in central London? Where is the old BBC that would check all of these angles before bringing to air such poor (and frankly biased-sounding) reporting!??
so basically you can still pollute as long as you pay. What a pile of crap. This ,,save the planet,clean air and electric from 2030'' why is happening only in uk? We are all on same planet as USA....so why in USA you can have a v12/v8 as common as a fiesta in uk? Please do explain
Do they know what a pain in the ass it can be to get a car? Especially one newer than five years old? Do they wanna give people qualifying low or no emissions vehicles to comply or can we agree this is a scheme to tax the common man ever more?
If cars have a valid m o t it means they have passed the emission test the cameras are on,y recording the age of the car,how can they be fined for pollution
If 90% of the cars are passable already, why even pass this law? How is this a solution? Let’s tax the poorest people, the ones who can’t afford newer cars more for “air quality”.

If you're bothered about air pollution, fix that first.
I think the foreign cities comparison part is just utterly ridiculous, as they all have cheap and effective public transport, something we don't have here in Britain. People in the media of this country and the establishment always make a fine art of talking about how "they're doing it, why aren't WE", they're deluded. We should craft solutions that tailor to our people, not copy and pasting from others. Making driving more expensive BEFORE any hefty investments into public transport is such a stupid thing to do. First invest into public transport to make it wide-ranging and cheap, only then should people be talking about charging £12.80 per day to drive your own car.
No, bot, the uk should really finally start making some changes and stop being a sulky toddler about it
Honestly, if anyone is a bot it is @thisismetoday. Are you a different person every other day?
If you can't stand reality and policy ideas that are meant to benefit the working people, I can't help you. If you disagree with widening massively public transport networks, which would benefit the net zero target, I can't help you. The UK has been making more changes faster and more broader than any other comparable nation state. Your point is emotive, ridden with petulance and childlike sulkiness, and not based on fact or the world we live in today. @@thisismetoday

the original ULEZ gave 5 years for people to change cars, Khan gave 8 months
I‘d rather have a long healthy life and clean air than cars that should have been banned if we didn’t have lobbyists.

Why doesn't Khan clear off to India and clean up the air there, where it's needed!! 🤔
Not going to pay any charges
Hello how are you doing?😊
Seriously!!! Toxic air from cars? How was London before catalytic converters were put on cars? What a load of political dystopian dribble...
Force people to go electric but still ban e scooters
I thought by 2030 all cars will be electric and combustible engines cars were going to be banned completely?
Where's the evidence of 4000 birds, animals & insects dying annually, in previous years from unclean air?
Sadiq khan doing what's he told to do. The front man!.
yep a puppet like all on center stage!
Correct
Also one question is, all that money we’d pay, where would it be going…
I will pay the fines by a CORPORATION on my legal vehicle if you provide me proof of service, ak how are you cleaning the air sirs??
All these people trying to fix the air pollution and yet they don’t even speak a word about China.
If they are not allowed to drive in these areas , maybe they shouldn`t have to pay road tax that repairs the roads in those areas
100% no road tax if you not allowed to drive on the road
This is not enough, we need more to tackle the cars. In Hong Kong if people buy a not electric cars need to pay more than £10,000. In 10 years time in Europe all not electric car will be ban on sales. Why people are still buy those cars?
I got fine today £150 ulez. My error as I unaware this in London
Boris should have never opened this door
The scheme is so farcical, that I have received a fine for driving my 2021 registered car in the zone, simply because it is on dateless Northern Ireland number plates. The system only seems to recognise number plates in the two letters, two numbers, three letters format. Anything else and a fine will be sent out. Shocking.
Refuse to pay the charges, burn old tyres in your garden.
FYI. The camera for ULEZ alone use 0.025 kWh. Once all 2750 of them are on line, that small amount will equate to 250,000 Kg of coal burned a year just to power these oppressive cameras. In the name of lowering emissions. What a joke. Would it not be easier to require an annual emissions check of one’s vehicle and place a passing sticker on once a year?!?
We've been doing that for 25 years in the states ! You have your car inspected every 4 years , they check the emissions , a fix , a sticker and your done .
Did we ever meet th scientific death figures during covid?😂
Hey how are you doing?
1st 2023 ULEZ.
2nd 2024 15 Minute Cities.
😂ULEZ is completely unlawful. It's not even a law. It's not a statute or act of Parliament which also can be challenged in higher courts under the law. When you establish a law in a court you cannot retrospectively apply it to the past it can only be applied to that day forward. So all cars purchased before ULEZ was introduced, are lawfully exempt.
I will repeat it it cannot be lawful to apply any Rule or law retrospectively
Imperial College modelling...
Living in the US....why cant we have news broadcasting more informational like this?
Its not our fault the cars don't meet the emissions standards its the fault of the manufacturers and now we have to pay the price.
💯 true that
Im a big supporter of efforts to reduce pollution but I really question whats going to be achieved by the Ulez expansion. All petrol cars built after 2004 are Ulez compliant all diesel cars built after 2016 are Ulez compliant meaning that within a few years hopefully all areas of the country will have Ulez type air quality. What Kahn and the Govt in general need to do is invest heavily in the charging infrastructure so that busineeses and individuals can cope with the 2030 switch when all new cars must be hybrid or zero emission. I also serioiusly question why the Govt and Mayor are wedded to one way of reducing emissions. Why not invest in research into fuels that can run in current engines without causing emissions. The original diesel engine ran on chip fat and all diesel cars built until around the 1990s could have run on it for some reason car manufacturers changed that just as people started to find out it was possible.
I think this air quality thing is stupid.
Just an excuse to force people to buy unreliable electric cars that need replacing every 3 years.
It’s good enough for them to push their totalitarian agenda.
@@MrFrankFurter thank you mate 👍, thats my point
End all food & drink deliveries into the Borough of Westminster.
See how many parties they can hold in a lockdown.
Air tax. 1984.
So if I cannot afford a new car I would get charged £12.50 per day which is nearly as much as rent in some parts of the country.... and this is bound to expand more again.
The British environment minister said that wear from brake linings and tyres on the roads may be more harmful than corrosion caused by petrol and diesel cars, due to the size of the battery in electric cars that generate more polluting fine particles.
"Electric cars are usually about 20 to 30 percent heavier than petrol and diesel cars."
Batteries for electric cars need rare earth metals such as neodymium, a metal that is used to manufacture magnets with all kinds of electric motors and high-tech devices, making them more difficult to rotate.
The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee in the British Parliament has summoned Environment Minister George Eustis to question him about steps to reduce polluting particulate matter known as PM2.5.
12.59 A DAY?! I can understand why they're cutting those cameras down. It's essentially a poverty tax.
Dont pay fines to servants.
pay them nothing like paying thebbc nufffing
Don't pay what it's a piece of paper to say you didn't pay oh well just keep driving and don't pay
When the EU revise imission regulations on ICE vehicles ALL ICE will be paying the ULEZ charge because London will impose it too. Further more, this is just the beginning, it will be rolled out to all cities, towns and villages. Traveling through these areas as you cross the country will cost you a fortune. But am I conspiracy theorist.
Hello how are you doing?😊
As long as the poorer people of London pay £12.50a day to drive there car around
It's ok to pollute
Let that sink in
Good point that .

This ULEZ charge in london is annoying me so much ! I used to live in london not anymore but I regularly visit with my family and the fact that we are getting charged ? Why? Why are the manufacturers not charged for manufacturing badly made cars to begin with? Why do the car companies get away with this but we as consumers are being charged for buying a car few years back when we didn’t even know about ULEZ? This is the classic rich get richer and poor get poorer concept
U: Unwelcomed
L: Loathed

This is just another tax .and as for imperial college ,there a saying,who ever pays the piper calls the tune,
Well that's one way to send Zelensky his monthly 400 million pounds 😂😂😂
Make no mistake when the income from this starts to dwindle they will change the criteria to Euro 6 cars
true, the outer boroughs were not even due to be assessed until 2025
Thats just fobbing off the responsibility of clean air management on the people while squeezing money out of people who cant afford new cars.
So everyone with a compliant vehicle is unaffected. Everyone with a non-compliant vehicle is forced to pay £12.50 - even with a £2000 scrappage scheme, those who can pay will pay, because having your flexibility taken away is absurd. So in the end the CO² emissions stay the same because the same vehicles are still driving.
So how does this help the environment, other than to burden people with an extra living expense in a time where living expenses are going up.
So dumb.
So.. installing theae cameras doesn't reduce the pollution.. but rather enables revenue to be generated from the pollution..
So all those diesel cars built before 2016 having to be scrapped and replaced when they could have been used for 20 more years and saved thousands of new ones being produced. What a tragedy for the climate, not to mention the economic disaster it is for London with millions of people choosing to avoid going there now.
One of Labour's weapons of mass dissatisfaction!
4:13 Only 27 per cent oppose the expansion, yet the BCC is only bringing us those voices. And why on earth would you still play Johnson - a disgraced politician, now civilian, who has been proven to lie whenever it suits him. Fantastically balanced reporting, guys. Well done
I thought it was a pretty balanced report actually giving the advantages and disadvantages with the facts of the ULEZ system actually and yeah 27% from a poll may be opposed to it. As polls are not always completey accurate that number would be far higher in outer london then inner London as we saw in Johnson seat of Uxbridge and Ruslip where the Conseratives held on when really they should of been booted out after partygate. You charge working class people including many Labor supporters 12.50 pounds a day for people who drive old cars many more of them are in outer London and you are going to get a voter backlash as a result of that. This is the difference between providing a plan for a cleaner greener enviornment and making the cost of living harder for poorer people. As a Labor supporter I can totally understand where they are coming from.
Did you get your numbers from khan 😂
@@spitfirefrench did you get your mindset from Johnson and Murdoch?
@@thisismetoday No, I got it from Mosley and Powell.
27% are you real, if you live on the new ulez border it’s 90% against it.
12.50 x 30 days =375 pound from pour people bigger scam ever and nice money for TFL
The poorest car owners will be charged £12.50 per day just for driving in their own city. This is wrong.
Say you drive your car every day. Khan is going to mug you of more than £4000 a year.
All for money, we already pay extortionate premiums for insurances and road tax, now this? I have a new car anyways but I find this a joke. Don’t get me wrong you see some cars chucking out some terrible emissions but you can fine them, not charge a premium everyday for anyone that owns an older car..
this is a tax it will soon be pay per mile and every one will be paying it.
this needs to stop and this net zero too as it is costing the country money and the big company's eletric gas etc are making more money.
Sounds like the mayor and the odious Just Stop Oil group should join forces.
Why don't people discuss about LTNS , WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF WORSE ROAD POLICY, IT’S A POLICY TO GENERATE REVENUES A TAX ON MOTORISTS.
Hey how are you doing?😊
……MONEY GRABBING….is what it is….ffs…🙄
It is not Khan who makes the rules, the government does.

Not in London. The mayor has different powers.
So why are you lying?

What about knife crime 20 plus death a year?
So paying that t##t 12 quid is gonna make the air cleaner? How does that work exactly 🤔
Yeah thats cap
Let's be clear: Sadiq Khan's concern for children's health is questionable, given that he has his own kids living in the city with him and drives his heavy Range Rover a short distance for a dog walk. If pollution truly had such severe consequences, causing illnesses like stunted lungs, asthma, and Alzheimer's, and if it were irrefutably established as the cause, we would expect a more substantial response from actual parents demonstrating outside number 10 and emotional pleas on the news.
It's worth noting that few healthy kids died from the flu, yet many were medicated en masse not too long ago £$€. We're aware that one of Khan's toughest decisions involved buying cameras first and then proceeding with the lucrative ULEZ poor tax despite significant opposition during public consultation, and then implementing it regardless, without alienating the majority and downplaying the minority by influencing the BBC to curtail truthful reporting. This was achieved by categorizing vehicles into "good/new/ who are wealthy people's cars" and "bad/old/who are poor people's cars." The most vulnerable and voiceless individuals, trapped in car debt and ineligible for the impractical scrapping scheme, are the first to bear the burden.
London's congestion issue persists, enabling those who can afford it to continue driving their ULEZ-compliant Range Rover V8s and 31 mpg 2-liter Jaguars to school because walking is deemed too perilous for the rich peoples kids. Meanwhile, carers, nurses, shift workers, joiners, and plumbers who rely on older, more fuel-efficient 55+ mpg vehicles face penalties due to their "old and bad" classification.
Interestingly, the London Tube contains toxic particles - dust, metal, skin, and clothing fibers - stirred up by passing trains, and air quality inside carriages is 18 times worse than even the most polluted high streets. Despite this, the mayor and TFL maintain that it's safe, withholding studies on air quality that they commissioned themselves.
Why not address the dire state of social housing in London, which detrimentally affects children's physical and mental health? Damp, molds, and poor air quality within inadequately insulated housing owned by neglectful landlords and councils leave them unable to afford proper heating. An estimated 3.6 million children bear this burden. If the yearly spike in lung conditions is to be believed, perhaps the real causes are closer to home than his ULEZ poor tax on the vulnerable. The mayor can't profit from issues he ignores, which could very well be the underlying reasons for these illnesses.
I and my family will not be visiting London for our bi-annual stays , in protest of the ridiculous ‘human’ being, and his policies ! Even though we have what are classed, compliant vehicles. I have friends who are doing the same
In it funny media never mention or challenge Khan riding round in big fuel guzzling range rovers with his army of gangsters , wish we had old school unafraid reporting.
Surely there is a better way to reduce pollution.
one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.
People forget outer london boroughs have a lot of regular back and forth traffic between them and the home counties. ULEZ may cause disconnection between outer london and the neighbouring counties on which many rely either side of the border on for jobs, shopping and seeing relatives, especially from rural areas surrounding where residents use cars to get to local towns in london boroughs, like Bexleyheath, Barnet or Upminster
Can you receive up to $1m Usdt,monetise and send me a ratio of 60% ?
Let’s not forget Heathrow where anyone outside of London’s transport system has to drive to use. I get that this is a London mayor making these calls but that ignores the fact that this is a national piece of infrastructure that we are now taxed to use.
Gotta love the way BoJo tries to sidestep the issue by calling the expansion "new". It's nothing of the sort. He was the one who started ULEZ in the first place. No mention of that from him. Talk about politicians having conveniently short memories.
Any reduction in pollution is going to be good for people. Got to start somewhere, unfortunately.
Constructive comment.
Do some reading, understand the issues being discussed, come back with something more fruitful.
Consensus is ulez is a non pollution managing implementation, serving only to make the rich richer while those already struggling suffer further.
3:05 This literally says NOTHING. It could have so may reasons for that to be the case. 1. Have you ever considered the fact that the people in outer London have to drive into London every day, therefore being on the road for a long time every day, therefore sitting right in the middle of exhaust pipes? That might be a reason GPs in outer London have more to do on asthma. 2. Many people work in central London all their life and move out of London when they’re older, and that’s also the time when they develop and suffer from asthma as a consequence from living in London. I’m sure many people also move out of London as a result of an asthma diagnosis. 3. What is the date of this study even? Could it be very recent reflecting ULEZ already being in place in central London?
Where is the old BBC that would check all of these angles before bringing to air such poor (and frankly biased-sounding) reporting!??
what it is a war on motorists just for profits search for 15 minute cities
You don't pay for the air you breath,its a given natural thing of living beings
You carry on lying to protect your own goons
So someone can’t afford a newer car and he gets fined for it. What better way to profit from the less than fortunate. Seems familiar.
so basically you can still pollute as long as you pay. What a pile of crap. This ,,save the planet,clean air and electric from 2030'' why is happening only in uk? We are all on same planet as USA....so why in USA you can have a v12/v8 as common as a fiesta in uk? Please do explain
Can’t afford a fancy new car the doesn’t pollute so much? Well you’ll keep paying 12.50 everyday until you can. wtf kind of logic is that LOL
Do they know what a pain in the ass it can be to get a car? Especially one newer than five years old? Do they wanna give people qualifying low or no emissions vehicles to comply or can we agree this is a scheme to tax the common man ever more?
If cars have a valid m o t it means they have passed the emission test the cameras are on,y recording the age of the car,how can they be fined for pollution
It's a bloody good idea.
Just make public transport free.
No it isn’t.
