Smug expressions were wiped from the faces of countless EV drivers this week. From Christmas Day next year, battery-powered vehicles will no longer be exempt from London’s £15 per day Congestion Charge. Whinges about the unfairness of the London Mayor’s decision came from many directions, but anyone who didn’t see this coming has more subsidies than sense.
EV propagandist and former Top Gear presenter Quentin Wilson took to X to express his disappointment. “So, TfL makes all that fuss about air quality in outer London with Ulez and then will cancel the U.K.’s most successful urban clean air improvement policy,” he complained, “Let’s have queues of clean cars and vans rather than polluting ones.” AA spokesman Jack Cousens told the Telegraph that the policy is “a turkey bone in the throat of EV owners who heeded his call to switch to green vehicles and improve air quality in the capital”.

when are they going to vaccinate the kids?
I can tell you when they will “vaccinate” my children. Never.
When the roadmap was unveiled, I had no doubt that “something” would come up which would push back all the dates – the roadmap was never intended to be adhered to, it was just another carrot to dangle in front of the masses to ensure continued compliance. But it’s just another frog-boiling exercise – it’s happened time and time again over the past year, and will continue to do so until we put a stop to it. “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice…”, etc.When will people wake up to what’s really happening?!
the roadmap was as believable as 3 weeks to flatten the curve
Happy week 53 of 3 weeks to flatten the curve!
‘Fool me ten times plus …..’ ??????
Fill in the blank.
Precisely, RickH – I’m astonished at people’s apparent gullibility! I can only assume that people just can’t even contemplate the alternative narrative that the government may not be acting in our best interests, so it’s preferable to swallow the lies and trust that it’ll all be over soon….
When the roadmap was unveiled I predicted it would be the mass testing of children that would be used to block the lifting of lockdown. I still think they will use the false positives generated from this in synchrony with the claimed shortages of ‘vaccine’, and I believe it will lead to them ultimately not lifting lockdown at all because we’ll miss the summer and will be due to go back into flu season.
“The standard for testing and monitoring of vaccines is higher than it is for most other medicines, because they are one of the few medical treatments given to healthy people (mainly healthy children). This means that the level of acceptable risk is much lower than it might be for a cancer treatment, for example. It can take many years for a vaccine to pass through all the stages described below. In the case of the MenB vaccine, for example, it took 15 years from the first idea to the vaccine being licensed for use.”

Amazing we’ve compressed 15 years into 6 months!
Imagine how many lives would have been saved if they’d compressed the 15 years development of the MenB vaccine into 6 months ‘with no loss of safety’
Of course – the balance of risk for cancer treatments is entirely different! Doh!
“no one can have had any idea how effective the vaccination programme would be.”
The latest mythology strikes. But freedom doesn’t.
Well … who would have thought it, hand on cock?
I have yet to see any evidence the vaccine program, lockdown, masks and large scale testing have worked
See how the media (including LS) are weaselling away while perpetually normalising the idea of a ‘vaccine passport’? And the dumb public still don’t see it.
So they expect over 60s to be in restaurants and swimming pools come July while telling young healthy people they can’t?
La la land
More distraction nonsense but sort of o/t
Boris Johnson is going to be vaccinated in the same way he had Covid-19.
