The Joys of ULEZ

He normally only deals with rat epidemics in very small villages.

Well, today’s the day in London.

Meanwhile

Err, isn’t it a bit bloody late to be doing that?

Loads of people who have already checked looking for reassurance before they venture out, because THEY might have changed the rules

People travelling in from outside London?

When I think back to the commute I used to do toward the end of my time at Cambridge Audio, where I was abroad so much, I stopped buying a season ticket and drove my car to the vicinity of Canons Park tube and took the underground from there, I imagine those streets are all ULEZ so I’d be checking (albeit, not on the fucking day it started).

Is there a legal equivalent of Bullshido?

I have been in the new ulez zone. I have heard lots of waffle about it today ont radio. Seems alright to me.

Rod Stewart guy comes across as particularly unhinged.

There’s a lot of warnings on intra TfL sites at the moment about the damage being done to the cameras. Wires are being cut and leaving live cables loose. Someone is going to get hurt very badly soon.

Yes, if they’re ten feet tall.

Well, someone is 10’ tall if they’re cutting wires.
Maintenance workers tend to use cherry pickers.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to members of the public walking by sabotaged cameras. The cut cables aren’t long enough (that I’ve seen) to be of risk to a pedestrian.

In a lot of cases they are being unscrewed from the post and cable connector. Some others are cutting the cable and may risk the joys of electrocution if they aren’t careful.

So unsurprisingly “ULEZ” is trending on Twitter, and I clicked through for a laugh.

What I get is a parade of Ian Duncan Smith, Nigel Farage, Kelvin fucking Mackenzie and Dan fucking Wooton taking a pop at the ULEZ in general and Khan in particular.

I’m all for the ULEZ and its expansion, but if I were against it I really wouldn’t want to be lining up behind the absolute worst-of-the-worst opportunist ghouls.

Seriously guys - these gargoyles must surely do more harm than good. Get organised and get someone in front of the cameras who doesn’t inspire instant revulsion.

Oh, and get a coherent message. Rambling on about the World Economic Forum, anti-vax, covid-denial, and anti-credit-card (WTF?) at the same time again doesn’t do you any favours.

Exactly. And it reinforces the argument put across by Sadiq Khan that those against ULEZ are Nazi or Right Wing.

That is the whole thing though, the general conspiracy is about gubment control and shoehorning any aspect of modern life into that narrative.
