>This was after fellow Imperial College London academics published a study suggesting the central London ULEZ had had a relatively small effect on air pollution at its launch.
But everybody on this sub told me that ULEZ was an amazing thing that would absolutely stop all premature respiratory deaths within it’s area?!? I’m sure those sub academics will be along shortly to tell us all exactly how a little tinpot quack organisation like….*checks notes*….**Imperial College London** is wrong and they are right.
Unless of course, the people on this sub *don’t* actually know better and are just blindly supporting ULEZ because they see opposition to it as a ‘right wing’ thing and have decided that it doesn’t fit well with the progressive left-wing anti-tory persona they are trying to convey on here. Surely it can’t be that, right?
I mean, ULEZ is a Tory scheme so I’m glad to see you support a Tory idea and think it will do some good. (I can hear the short circuiting from here)
As Tesco once said “every little helps”
One less particle, one more person paying for their own negative externalities
I’m glad Imperial College London says ULEZ works
This is a most shameful mendacious episode and a low point for the Capital City.
The ULEZs and CAZs are the greatest scam going right now in our country. Fining people for going to work, taking the kids to school, going to the shops. Hardworking people who might be putting money to one side to save up for a cleaner vehicle aren’t able to thanks to these new taxes.
Champagne socialists that can afford a new Tesla every other year love it. They can brandish their little green tab on their number plate, signalling their virtue to the scum in their conventionally fuelled vehicles.
You’re not “saving the planet” in your EV made using cobalt mined by child slaves in the Congo, assembled in a coal-powered plant in China, shipped across the world by a diesel internal combustion engine, and pumped with electric go-juice generated by coal and gas. But hey, no emissions!
These idiotic policies are making the poor poorer and limiting the amount of brains around the globe that could be used for proper research and development that results in a cheap, clean and reliable transport infrastructure for all.
If 80+% of London cars have been compliant, then it hasn’t worked measurably so far? Of course, less traffic would be good, but seeing the population has grown by circa 2m in recent years, that’s unlikely?
