Tuesday’s protest against the expansion of London’s ultra low emission zone (ULEZ), which featured on the front page of two national newspapers, was led by a group with ties to conspiracy theories and climate science denial, DeSmog can reveal.
A reported 200 people attended the protest outside parliament on Tuesday as the ULEZ scheme to tackle air pollution by charging high emission vehicles was extended to Greater London.
The extension of the scheme has been the subject of fierce debate, and misinformation, since its alleged role in the Conservative Party’s win in July’s Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election.
Despite the low turnout, the protest received widespread media coverage including photos on the front page of the Daily Mail and the Telegraph.
Anti-ULEZ is the new anti-EU.
Misinformation and bollox dressed up as debate.
I’m sure leaving the ULEZ will be just as much a success as leaving the EU.
