Would they have to print money? Can’t they just issue government bonds?

Well the last London Mayoral election was only in May and the person who inconvenienced them with this “tax” won by a landslide so I guess the answer is yes. Most people accept the necessity of ULEZ to get the gains in air quality and health benefits that brings. A few noisy frothers, aside the...

And it backfired in your face instantly. First page of google and I found out that any equivalent car made by anyone else almost certainly had been compliant. No wonder you brought German. Actually you should be able to answer this. How did JLR so spectacularly fail to future proof their cars...

They should have bought a Volvo, BMW etc etc equivalent in the first place. All the self proclaimed JLR executive has demonstrated is that JLR didn’t future proof their cars while their competitors were. Not sure how ULEZ can be blamed for JLR’s competitors keeping up with the pace while JLR didn’t.

Mate, you’re the one misrepresenting already flawed data made on presumption's. I googled what you said and it took me straight to the RAC report where it instantly said “could” lead to 700K non compliant vehicles not 100% will be 700K as you tried to represent it and within the first paragraph...

Not from what I’ve read but if you’re saying it is the number of fines then surely that means that the number of no complaint cars in reality will be smaller again as some of those fines will be repeat offenders will they not?

The big point is a tiny minority of motorists are temporarily inconvenienced to the convenience of nearly 9m Londoners. The health benefits to Londoners and therefore the benefits to the NHS are indisputable from ULEZ. Those benefits will also only increase thanks to the expansion. Frankly...

Playing dumb again? The 200K isn’t calculated it’s the actual data based on the daily average over a 1 month period. It completely dismisses the 700k and not surprisingly as the 700k was always a worse case scenario based on flawed assumptions such as all cars registered before Euro 6 and Euro 4...

Actually they haven’t. They used the word “could” but then worked on the premise that every diesel car registered before Sept 2015 isn’t compliant and every petrol car registered before Jan 2006 isn’t compliant. We’ve already dispelled that myth with facts. That article was also written before...

Again with the deliberately stupid. If the price guide of the land rover is £18,000 that’s £18,000 despite not being EURO 6, so it’s still the value. Might be more difficult to sell in London but that’s still the value. Sell it and buy a BMW or Volvo equivalent instead which will almost...

It’s pretty clear whatever I say you’re either going to add your own context or move the goalposts again and again. I answered your gotcha directly with fact. Euro 6 came in in 2014 for manufacturing and then 2015 for registration and the truth is car manufacturers knew this was coming and were...

Extreme E racing series changing from battery to Hydrogen https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/motorsport/articles/cl4yng1rnydo Told you. It’s coming. Battery powered electric vehicles are just a stopgap.

You really are a moron. Another context adder thinking it means they’ve outsmarted you. As I said in a previous post there’s a ton of older cars that are ULEZ compliant, you just need to buy smarter, which is why it’s bypassed you. You can google what’s compliant very easily, what car have done...

You’d be amazed how many classic car owners don’t know that. My best mate has a collection of classic cars and I went with him to an event at Gaydon last year and I must of heard Sadiq Khan is trying to ban classic cars half a dozen times. I think one person read it on social media so it must be...

You’re adding your own context there, I never remotely suggested that. The point is that there’s a myth that you need an expensive modern car to beat ULEZ. You just trotted it out yourself. The fact is by buying smarter you can buy a cheaper older car and beat ULEZ. You could buy a 20 year old...

Tons of older cars qualify. I was reading an article in The Mail of all publications about it. Tons of old jaguars, BMW’s, Audi’s, Bentley continentals and at the other end of the scale any petrol mini. So in the case of the mini a 24 year old car is compliant.

I see the Tories have rebranded as a fact checking service again on social media. Tax Check UK. Dodgy cunts. They just about got away with it last time as they had a weight of populism behind them. Just looks desperate this time and set to backfire like the rest of their campaign.

Unless you’re a Christian or any of the other minority religions. Christians especially get a lot of persecution, I think they’re the smallest minority group and don’t have freedom to celebrate their religion openly due to persecution in general, I don’t think it’s an official stance from...

How’s that going to save him face? His whole reasoning was to stop the expansion of NATO. Now you think he’s going to willingly accept the expansion of NATO to save face. You also seem to have mistaken him for a reasonable man, someone who can be negotiated with.

So that would mean that Russia withdraws completely including Crimea? Otherwise they’ll still be invading Ukraine. Also we’ve already done this in 1994. It meant nothing to Putin.
