The Conservative Party

[hilts]

High density of white van Man, Sun reading, Talkshite listeners.

And rich folk that can't get their heads around the fact that this particular Tory party ain't good for them either such is the mess they are leaving in their wake.

I find it bewildering tbh.

Free puppies on the NHS now!

Hope that means these puppies are freed.

I think folk are used to being able to pop out to the shops to see friends or whatever without paying £12.50 like folk elsewhere do. There are ulez related scrappage schemes if you are on benefits etc, but for context a 30-40k salary round there is probably not going far. Tradesmen too - finding the dosh for a euro 6 van will be a stretch I think

I've been in the borough numerous times.

It doesn't take long to walk most places and they have a world class transport system what with being next to Heathrow and having a rail station in West Drayton and the tube station in Uxbridge.

Could just get an Uber.

Most people within a London borough don't need a car for day-to-day use.

when I used to go fairly regularly I'd drive to High Barnet station (just inside the M25) and get the Northern Line to Bank Station. Easy peasy and handy because Barnet was the terminus so if I nodded off on the train back I never missed my stop lol

Presuming Green voters in Uxbridge like the ULEZ, voting Green rather than Labour let in the Tory.

I'd expect the vast majority of them don't even drive a car that will see them paying ULEZ as there are many exemptions.

If your vehicle is one of the following, it will be exempt from the ULEZ charge:

• A diesel car that meets Euro 6 standards.
• A petrol car that meets Euro 4 standards.
• A fully-electric car.
• Hybrid cars and mild hybrids must meet Euro 4 or 6 depending on their fuel type.

Diesel euro 6 standards came in Sept 2015 and petrol euro 4 January 2005. Still they probably all read the Mail and think Richard Tice is a genius so they know where to get the truth from.

There was some talk from the Mayor's side that it's better to move quickly, as this will go away as an election issue when it comes in and most people realise they're not affected.

I'm sure the people who live there will be touched by your willingness to give up their cars

Seems that in spite of ULEZ initially being started by Johnson as mayor, and mandated by a law brought in by the current Tory government, the Conservative Party - in this by-election - have successfully managed to pin it personally on Sadiq Khan and Labour in general. Just goes to show that truth doesn’t matter, it’s all about getting out a consistent message and it doesn’t matter if it’s true.

There's plenty of new services not included within the usual public transport. Zip Car hire service, scooters. Fat lazy bastards could just get a mobility scooter.
