Security guards protecting London’s Low Emission Zone cameras face damning accusations of aggressive misconduct, identity concealment and refusal to show licenses. The Times has more.
Masked security “goons” hired to guard Sadiq Khan’s Low Emission Zone cameras have been accused of assaulting and intimidating locals.
Residents in suburban areas of London claimed the “heavies” had harassed them and refused to display their security licence cards when asked, as industry rules require.
The “thuggish” guards are dressed in dark clothing, and sometimes cover their faces with hoodies, balaclavas and surgical masks, while recording campaigners with body-worn CCTV cameras.
The Mayor of London’s political opponents, who have pledged to scrap the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (Ulez) scheme if they win at elections in May, branded the guards’ behaviour “disgusting”.
Heather Watt, 63, claims a security guard purposefully ran her over twice while she was protesting, leaving her walking with a crutch and unable to work. “They just drove at me,” she said. “They hit me off my feet onto the bonnet of their vehicle. I’ve come off the car, I’m hobbling away, with that the car sped up and hit me again into the side of the road.” …
Dyer, 47, added: “It seems like there is a directive for them to try and cause trouble. There have been assaults made by the security on the public that’s been caught on camera, they had taken people’s signs and thrown them away. They tell me I shouldn’t be here, but I’m 100 metres away from my house – it’s them who shouldn’t be here. It’s antagonistic.”
Transport for London said the security was necessary because anti-Ulez protesters had vandalised and stolen hundreds of cameras. It added that the security were held to high standards of professionalism, and had been told they should hide their face only if they feel intimidated by being closely filmed.

Who cares? I mean really, in the grand scheme of things, this crumb/carrot is just classic misdirection.
Loss of civil liberties? Well at least we’ll let you leave the country, get a tan and get pissed one last time before you’re 100% enslaved, controlled and trapped.
Great! I can travel to Iceland without worrying about dying from covid , but then be killed by some volcano whose name I could never hope to pronounce.
Hey, what do you know! I got the right reason, but just the wrong country.
I will stick to my original post though because I can pronounce La Soufriere even if I don’t know how to type grave accents.
Well “green” is a misnomer. You still have to take a test. I won’t be doing it, not for a holiday. I feel for anyone who has close family/loved ones in other countries as they have a dilemma.
Jab, test and go!
Well done, citizen, your social credit score will reflect your compliance.
When it’s jab, test, pay carbon credits and go, we expect equal submission.
Hello though… those are some spicy comments you’ve been making on Facebook. We’re not sure you’re the best brand ambassador for Our Nation. Your travel privileges have been revoked until you have paid for, taken and passed the completely voluntary mandatory sensitivity, diversity, social and climate justice training.
I won’t go abroad until this nonsense is over. But I feel sorry for people with relatives to visit
I think you’ve put your finger on one of the wider aspects of this. With all the downsides of artificially cheap (essentially subsidised) air travel, the fact is that internationalism is a fact of life, despite little ‘nation state’ dreamers. There is a generation that has grown up with a wider Europe as their home – thus the generational resistance to the damaging old fart irrelevance of Brexit – an irrelevance that has been brought home by the Covid scam.
Rick with a silent P ?
LOL
Oh, don’t be silly.
Why is it that remoaners are simply incapable of displaying a little dignity?
What if this nonsense is never over, and this is the New Normal?
Sorry to break the bad news Steve – it is only just beginning
Why would vaccination rates make a difference when Dear Leader Johnson is just after saying that Our Vaccines don’t stop you catching or spreading the China Virus?
And why all the testing if everyone is vaccinated?
It must be time for Hancock and Schapps to get the dartboard out to decide which countries are on each list.
Only in zero covid world would you have that system as HART bulletin told us some weeks ago. You are going from one country with endemic virus to another country with endemic virus and you are supposed to believe that this dangerous traveller coming back can spark a full blown epidemic in a population close to herd immunity.Utter nonsense.
So, you won’t need a test in some countries if you show that you’ve been vaccinated. As we know, the vaccination doesn’t 100% stop you contracting or transmitting covid. So at the point of entering a country, it’s ok I’ve been vaccinated but actually I have covid and can pass it on, but Ssshhhh don’t tell anyone just let me in. How dangerous the false sense of security people are being given is. Although that said, given its very low mortality rate, the decision makers will pat themselves on the back and say it was the right think to do.
When are people going to realise that this pantomime, right from December 2019, has been set up in order to prepare and hold us down until the Great Reset can be put in place?
This ridiculous tory govt is just playing for time until the Real People in charge of this Reset tell it to stand down because they are in charge.
Unless we get our brains in gear and start pulling together to rid the world of these psychos who want to rule it, we are well and truly stuffed.
I don’t know how we can do this when so many are rushing to get themselves vaxxed without knowing what the long term effects are, its going to be very difficult to get people to wise up.
We must get rid of the so-called elite and also the ones who are making shedloads of money right now. Does anyone have any useful ideas how ?
Where is my comment ?
