Yeah but what they dont realize also is, cars in most of europe generate more money than they cost. The UK takes in 35 billion from petrol/diesel car drivers, and spends 4.5 billion on roads. So if London gets rid of all cars they will still need to maintain paths, cycle ways, etc and where will that money come from? They will also need to get money for other stuff that the 65 billion pays for, lets say some hospital bills or something. The only way for them to do this will be to charge you per mile walked or cycled. They will do stuff like "How far away do you live from work, 5 miles, okay thats 10 miles, we need a 1 pound a mile, so 10 pound a day".

I drive Dodge Durango 7 seater with 3.6 V6 and happy to put lpg in it. Cheap driving, reliable car and engine. Sadly the government been constantly pushing big companies to get rid of lpg (BP, Shell and the likes). What's wrong with them? Lpg is much cleaner and always been. Belgium, Poland and Italy is full of lpg cars and the fuel is much cheaper than here (currently 60p in Belgium and 55p in Poland whereas I have to pay £1 in my nearest village lpg pump). Typical rip off and monopoly in the UK

[@moistfinger]

Proof that these charges levied on motorists have absolutely nothing to do with emissions !! The great zero emissions con job.

[@MisTomis]

Agreed. But congestion charge (as the name suggests) is mainly aimed at too much traffic, not emissions. EVs will still be exempt from ULEZ, for now.

Good morning, Geoff Great vid. I especially like the bit about saving the Whales (6:00) as it reminded me of an old, Yes Prime Minister sketch from the BBC back in the 1980's.

I guess the more that things change, the more they stay the same. :)
