ULEZ Letter

[bluethrunthru]

Don’t think he was mentioning you mate

It was a direct reply to my post

Mate I drive a diesel Dacia - have done for 3 years - cost me less than £5k and am on a pension thats a fixed income - you know fuck all about me

So you drive what would be regarded as a polluting vehicle, but others that do are thundercunts ?

I know nothing of you except for your statements, they speak fairly loud about your thoughts on the lower paid trying to get by and raise their families. You know nothing of me either, yet that seems to be of little consequence to you.

People are not thundercunts because they can't afford your dream though, and that's a fact.

But he doesn’t drive a polluting vehicle.

£2k in London and you have to be receiving benefits, although they’ve now included child benefits to make it more accessible! Also says you have to get a new car.

It’s good they’ve increased the eligibility but that doesn’t sound enough to me. What I’d do is either up the scrappage value to the equivalent of the price of the cheapest equivalent Ulez compliant car or increase the exemptions. Would need thinking through but I do think there’s better ways of doing it than current.

No I say I drive an ULEZ liable vehicle because I want to and accept there is cost associated with that in the unlikely event that I was to drive into the ULEZ from where I live about 300 miles away.

Mate I live on a grand a month pension - thats it - I am on a low income - all you are doing is flailing about now.

How often do you or do you anticipate having to drive into the ULEZ area out of interest?

Look its obviously political - if the Conservatives won the Mayoralty Sunak would suddenly find billions for a scrappage scheme for Londeners

He says he drives a diesel, and under 5k, if it's a euro 6 I apologise for that part, but boldly stating that people should be paying 5k on a vehicle, or be a thundercunt, then proudly shouting that he spent less than that on his own is somewhat hypocritical.

I didn’t read it properly. Seems like he’s non compliant but doesn’t currently live in an area of very poor air quality.

It's not unless he drives it around a clean air zone and refuses to pay for the charges.

Or Starmer could win the next GE and do the same. Either way though, I was talking about it from the mindset of mitigating impact to people and the current proposed implementation rather than the political aspect.
