ULEZ Letter

[Blue Maverick]

10 years ago, total taxes from the motorist were £38bn.
Fuel duties accounted for £26bn of that, plus another £4bn in VAT.
A big %age of electric leaves a big tax hole.

Tax per mile will be here before we know it.
If only for non-petrol/diesel then fair enough as long as similar overall rate.
I'm never getting an electric car so don't care too much.

But this is the government we are talking about.
In the future....
Non-electric? Pay excessive fuel duty, even higher than today, in the Great Green Crusade.
Electric? Pay per mile, plus higher rates in city centres because we can.
Big electric car/SUV? Pay more per mile, because it wins votes from the greenies.
Hybrid? Heads I win, tails you lose, get you both ways.

They’ve already started to make EVs pay road tax, then they’ll increase the tax in electric from your home, just a pity that £38bn isn’t used to sort out the roads.

Can you stop following me around like a bad smell.

You don't have anything to contribute other than bloviating.

Unless you can give me 500 words on why children should get asthma, and people should die from air pollution because of stubborn arseholes unwilling to replace their dirty cars.

No attempt to answer the question or stay on topic.

Must do better and apply yourself.

Motorists should kick back and tell all politicians to go fuck themselves.

Taxation of drivers is borderline criminal in its levels.

ULEZ is yet again, all about revenue dressed up as them pretending to give a shit about the environment.

Try air pollution and it's effect on pedestrians , otherwise known as your fellow humans.

What was that about GB News having no effect on the general public :)

Modern combustion engines are cleaner than they have ever been and continue to be cleaner.

Hybrid and electric vehicles are becoming ever more popular although how green that tech is when you dig down is questionable.

Tell us your plans for ditching combustion engines overnight and how will it be paid for?

I’m all ears?

In all fairness I have sent for the Cavalry from the Farage site, they owe you big time for all those likes you gave them, they are just a bit busy at the moment.
I take it your not a car driver so your all for banning them because the new rules don't affect you.

Fucking lol. Seriously is that the best response? It was a Tory (Johnson) who originally proposed this… the same Tory who you’d call cruel/heartless yet because it’s now a Labour mayor it’s fine.

Fuck me the world is on its head these days

I am afraid Mr K is towing his comrades line.
If in doubt revert to standard reply

Hypocrisy is all part and parcel of this forum blue.

Which supports a policy like ULEZ, which is designed to get rid of older polluting cars more quickly, doesn't it?
