Daily Skeptics
By Tilak Doshi
British documents recently presented stories about the punishments that London drivers paid under Sadiq Khan's Ulez (ultra-low emission zone) plan. Under the scheme, the daily cost of old petrol and diesel vehicles entering the area is £12.50. The headline of GB News reads: “Ulez of Sadiq Khan believes that the driver forked out millions of penalties, although it is not “making money.” Freedom of information requirements show that living in London The Uris fine has raised more than £70 million.
Ulez plans to launch central London in 2019. After the expansion of the plan in 2021, Ulez's penalties have increased, including the northern and southern circular roads covering an area of 3.8 million people. Ulez's report then grew further in 2023, including across Greater London. Now, it covers 1,500 square kilometers and about 9 million people.
X Search X (there are the least censorship of social media to date), searches for “Blade Runners” have produced many entries, including videos of London activists who sometimes destroy, destroy or delete Ulez in spacious sunlight camera. Gadfly social media commentator Katie Hopkins has opened a parody on YouTube to see how people use cheap fill foam to destroy Ulez cameras.
Sadiq Khan claims he is fighting for climate justice, the health of Londoners and a bright future for everyone.
Do you believe him?
Follow science
In 2022, John Clauser's Nobel Prize winner in Physics said: “[t]His prevalent narrative of climate change reflects the dangerous corruption of science, threatening the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people. Misleading climate science has translated into huge impact champion pseudoscience. “As Elon Musk's Doge reveals, scientific corruption among the United States Agency for International Development and other agencies, putting U.S. taxpayer funds to climate agencies and NGOs funds.
In an age of increasing technocracy, policies under government leadership are proven by the mantra of “following science.” The most intense public policy in the West, which cut civil rights from the right to march to the right to freedom of speech, was implemented only a few years ago. This is targeting the “novel” Covid pandemic, which causes more severe deaths than severe flu, with a median infection mortality rate of 0.24% (0.05% for people under 70).
Mayor Sadiq is a claimed environmentalist and co-chair of the C40, and the organization “has always prioritized support for cities across the globe, which is often the most affected by the climate crisis.” In the “fight against climate change,” skeptical voters and dissenting experts also adopted a similar “science-following” attitude towards all skeptic components and dissenting experts who are seen as climate deniers.
The war on private cars is aligned with the World Economic Forum’s ambitions for governments, reducing the number of cars in the world by 75% by 2050 to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector. In WEF's dark green agenda, there is little recognition of the loss of affordable private transport that needs to be a common people. Merchants, such as plumbers and electricians who rely on vans to work, mothers who drive their children to school or go shopping, disabled or elderly people need to visit relatives or go to hospitals in elite wars.
Claiming global climate change and the alleged imminent climate disasters are too widespread and amorphous, it seems to be the introduction of London’s anti-mechanic policy, which puts such a heavy burden on the little people in Greater London. The mayor's office needs to take a more effective and reasonable public relations approach to justify its Ulez and other city transport regulations. The mayor’s office’s public relations approach to promoting Ulez expansion and all other secondary anti-truck actions focused on the health effects of polluting the air.
Not only Ulez, but the entire repertoire of war action against workers and middle-class drivers, needs to be justified. This includes imposing low-speed traffic communities, increasing the cost of parking spaces, narrow roads on bike lanes, strapping columns and flower pots to completely limit car traffic, and experimenting with 15 minutes-minute city zoning restrictions. These regulations are now under There are ubiquitous towns in England, such as Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Canterbury, Glasgow and Oxford.
On a typical weekday, the average speed of a London car is eight miles per hour in central London, 12 inside London and 20 miles outside London. According to AI Chatgpt, “based on historical records and estimates”, Roman chariots could have speeds of about 20 to 25 miles per hour on well-maintained roads in ancient Londinium. Is it unfair to blame Mayor Khan and his climate alarm for lack of two thousand years of progress in London's urban transportation speed?
The United Nations agency, the World Health Organization (WHO), uses a linear threshold (LNT) model as a guiding principle for setting urban air pollution restrictions. The model assumes that any exposure to pollutants, no matter how small, will bear the health risks that require public policy responses. The model fits the deep ecological instinct of the climate church, the only tolerant “sustainable” environment is primitive and without cancer in human civilization.
LNT models are commonly used in radioprotection and toxicology, but also affect air quality regulations, especially for pollutants that allegedly do not have known safety thresholds. The model lists the WHO profile table, lists policies that recommend reducing air pollution, such as making us walk, cycling or using public transport instead of cars, and stuffing us into a compact '15-Minute' city and High-rise building.
For Mayor Khan, urban air pollution is a social justice problem: “To me, this question is very simple: it is one of the social justice. … This is the poorest person, the least likely to own a car, the least not It may cause toxic air problems and they are most likely to suffer the consequences. “Khan's office claims that since 2019, nitrogen oxides have dropped by 46% and PM 2.5 has dropped by 41% (less than 2.5 microns in diameter).
However, this comparison is based on suspicious counterfactual modeling, i.e. what happens without Ulez's operations. Ross Clarke audience The “smell a mouse” here refers to a study from the Imperial College that studied 12 weeks and 12 weeks before the implementation of the original Ulles in 2019. Falling 3%.
The Commission's report on the medical effects of air pollutants says the concentration of particulate matter in the air at Hampstead Station, London's deepest subway station, was 30 times worse than that of standing on busy roads in the capital. An estimate of the social cost of air pollution in UK cars in 2017 found that each car is £25 or less per year. In other words, Ulles in central London only has two admission fees that will cover the social costs of this pollution for a full year.
Continuously avoiding the mayor’s office in London, the city has a toxic air quality “emergency” that is dangerous to people’s health. Just like the mainstream media propaganda about a “climate emergency”, this is convincing. Over the past few decades, the levels of air pollution in London have dropped sharply with other major cities such as Tokyo, Los Angeles and New York. , these cities are known for their smoke-filled skies in the 1950s and 1960s.
Reduce coal burning in homes and old power plants, more efficient vehicles using better quality diesel and gasoline, and use natural gas for power generation, heating and cooking, which in most cases lead to Cleaner air in OECD countries. These cities are now cleaner than ever before. This is compared to a broader generalization that the world's population lives longer, is healthier or is poorer than it is now (excellent losses due to hysteria-induced COVID lockdown).

Class War in London
Over the past few years, it seems that some kind of urban class war has been invading in London. This includes both the passive resistance in the form of penalized drivers not paying fines, and the active destruction and destruction of Ulez cameras by activists in the Borough of London. Political opposition to signaling to the U.S. and Germany has been growing, with London motorists leading the country’s first true anti-green citizen uprising.
According to a BBC report, TFL has installed 1,900 cameras outside London and in August 2023, there were about 3,400 cameras in Ulez. As of July 2024, London's FOI request reported that there were more than 3,700 cameras in London's Ulez camera. Swlondons According to a May 2024 report, “According to the mind of one of Facebook’s largest mortals, well-known data are well known that there have been more than 4,500 Ulez cameras vandal charges.” umbrella group “Julie” “He felt he was forced to retire when Ulez's expansion would force him to buy a new van to avoid work-related travel fines,” said an anonymous spokesman.
A more passive form of resistance is in the non-payment form of Ulles fine. Recent stories Express Quoting Mr Khan's critics, he “heard no sanity or reason as he faces a backlog of nearly a billion pounds of unpaid Ulez fines”. According to the paper, new research shows that only one in five drivers pay on time. Keith Prince, a conservative transport spokesman for the London Assembly, told Express “When you read this, TFL will be fined to Londoners for their efforts to upgrade their cars, which cannot pay on time.”
Joe Couglin mylondon The report said that a car has been fined more than 1,000 times since the Ulez expansion was launched in 2023, paying huge bills for drivers. He cited recent data that suggests that more than 100,000 vehicles have received five or more unpaid fines since Ulez's expansion. Sir Sadiq Khan seems to have little time to listen to his middle and working class components, covering the heavy burdens imposed by Ulez and other anti-movementist regulations.
The legendary Robin Hood used higher archery and detailed knowledge to loot the rich to distribute them to the poor to oppose the ruling class and its representatives, the corrupt and tyrannical sheriff of Nottingham. The average Londoner today seems to face similar oppression, this time under the leadership of the environmentalist Sheriff (Mayor). The environment is very different – one from medieval England and the other from contemporary London – but the struggle against perceived injustice is common.
