As expected. Nothing to back up your case. I'll take whatever you say with a bucket of salt because you can't provide any evidence that confirms your point of view.

My only real point of view is that the ULEZ in its current guise is a cash cow. Far better would have been a Grandfathering scheme to make it easier for poorer people to acquire better cars. Failing that, a complete ban on polluting vehicles, so that everyone with a polluting vehicle is affected, rather than just a minority. Charging £12.50 is not the answer, that is just a cash grab.

Anything else, I do not present as fact anyway, it is very much up for debate, so take it with a pinch of salt by all means.

If you think I am a climate change denialist or global warming denialist or car pollution denialist then you have read my argument wrong. I am actually very supportive of a very strict car pollution scheme. I merely think that the solution should either effect all motorists, or no motorists. I am in favour of everyone with a polluting vehicle having to upgrade tomorrow, regardless of what EURO it is, or what age it is. Most people should be ok with this, because it is 2023, and bank loans for tens of thousands of pounds can be obtained in 1 minute through online banking. I obtained one this morning, and seriously, it took 90 seconds max!
