Furious Motorists Destroy More Ulez Cameras Across London

by Will Jones
19 September 2023 3:15 PM

Vandals were out in force once again yesterday, with one camera being covered in expanding foam while elsewhere a man held an anti-Ulez sign on top of ladder trying to block a camera’s view. The Mail has the story.

It comes weeks after Sadiq Khan expanded his controversial policy to cover the whole of London – clobbering thousands more drivers with a £12.50 charge. 

The protester scaled the ladder blocking the camera that sat on top of a Transport for London van on Rainham Road in east London, trying to stop cars to pass and avoid the Ulez charge.

Locals rallied around the man, with one writing on Facebook: “Let’s hear it for the lad sitting on the ladders blocking the Ulez camera on Rainham Road. This made my morning power to the people.”

Elsewhere in Ickenham, in the borough of Hillingdon, vigilante vandals sprayed foam used for sealing cracks and insulating lofts over two cameras, blocking it from catching drivers out.

Local resistance against the unpopular policy, that hopes to improve air quality and reduce pollution in the capital, has been growing since the expansion was announced.

Some online have supported the most recent vandalism. One person wrote: “These people deserve to be on the news for their good work well done. FAB-U-LOUS!”

Someone else on the group chimed in saying “Quality effort from a quality guy! Thank you.”

Another lamented that they weren’t able to do this themselves: “I wish I had the time to do this also.” In one comment he was hailed as a hero with the writer saying: “Not all heroes wear capes.”

On one occasion, a camera appeared to be targeted by an arsonists, with a photo shared online appearing to show the black box filled with what appeared to be powder from an extinguisher.

Meanwhile, other cameras have been wrapped up in orange tape or covered in cardboard boxes, with the words “NO ULEZ” scrawled over it.

In one part of southeast London, nine out of 10 of the Ulez cameras have been vandalised according to crowd-sourced data. Only 29 of the 185 cameras that have been installed in Sydenham are working.

Worth reading in full.

The ULEZ situation is the best illustration of a state that’s squeezing too hard. Imagine we’re water in a tied up plastic bag. Squeeze too hard, the bag explodes, the water runs through the fingers and we’re left with nothing.

The state is pushing our population to breaking point.

Indeed Dom75. Many people who 6 or 7 years ago were the model of compliance are ….angry. This week’s 20 limit tyranny in Wales is seen by most of my acquaintance as being imposed on us by our traitorous and government by the global/WEF/UN – no-one believes the ‘climate’ or ‘safety’ excuses. Even those who whole heartedly bought the Covid narrative.

And this from Wales. People power and civil disobedience for the win!!

”A petition opposing the new 20mph default speed limit in Wales has had a record-breaking number of signatures.
With more than 177,000 signatures by Tuesday afternoon, the petition asks the Welsh government to “rescind and remove the disastrous 20mph law”.
It comes after Wales became the first country in the UK to make the speed limit in built-up areas 20mph.
The Senedd Petitions Committee will now consider it for debate as it is well over the 10,000 signature threshold.
Welsh ministers said a 20mph (32km/h) limit would reduce deaths and noise and encourage people to walk or cycle, but it has caused controversy with some drivers.
The news was welcomed by some, including Gareth Parry, whose brother Keith was killed in 1994 after being hit by a car travelling at 30mph.”

To Gareth Parry – I am sorry to read that your brother died after being hit by a car, but why was he in the road (assuming that the car wasn’t driving along the pavement)? How old was Keith? If young, where were his parents or responsible adult to make sure he didn’t run into the road or have his pushchair or pram pushed into the road without looking. Pedestrians need to take some responsibility. It’s not the driver’s fault that the car moves. Roads are for cars and pavements for pedestrians. If there are no pavements, make sure you walk towards oncoming traffic so you can see when to step aside (if that is possible).

It is an interesting dialectic whereby the protestors serve the corporations one way or another. For the masses it isn’t an abstraction anymore they simply can’t afford to live and so anything else is just taking them over the edge. I wouldn’t exactly say that the current system was designed to collapse but I can tell you that if you view the world as a casino gulag, which it is, then you can see exactly the future they have in store for us.

Okay, this is an example of direct action against tyranny.

What direct action can people take lawfully against all the woke culture and harmful child gender identity activists and the like and the people who fund and support them?

What direct action can be taken lawfully against the corporations and government organisations who implement and promote these harmful activities?

Okay, we all know this is wrong. How do we stop it?

Whilst it is great that the Daily Sceptic is able to publish information like this just writing and talking about it does not change it. One of the problems of writing and talking about it is this gives the impression someone might be doing something about it. It lulls everyone into a false sense of security.

The people who fund and support misinformation and disinformation, whilst claiming it is not, have the money and resources.

Who has the money and resources to stop it?

By what mechanisms can we stop it?

Elected representatives are completely useless as we have seen from MPs and government ministers. They will keep their mouth shut and do nothing, supporting by inaction, all of this dangerous nonsense.
