As far as I can tell, most Londoners support ULEZ as well with air quality significantly improving.

Their dislike for him is very much driven by racism. I doubt most could even tell you which of his policies they dislike
Plenty of data available on improved air quality and all the socio and economic benefits that go with that.

Or you can look at a poorly filmed tiktok from TruePatriotUncle

Two sides to this argument

A lot of these tits don't understand ULEZ either, had to put someone right yesterday who used "old Doris in her 20 year old Micra" as an example of someone being hit by ULEZ charges who shouldn't be. A 20 year old Micra of course meets Euro 4 emissions standards so wouldn't fall under the charge. They seem to think it's only EVs that don't get charged.

I drive a 2017 Diesel VW Caddy for work and that doesn't fall under it, either.

Like all new schemes it should and I believe does have a dynamic assessment policy which will allow it to alter as they figure if more people genuinely need help or the most effective way to impliment and achieve the long term goals.

Well most Londoners don't drive very often, if at all, so it doesn't affect most of us. I've lived here for not far off 30 years now and I have never learned to drive as I just haven't needed too.

A lot of the Tories/Reform lot also conveniently forget that ULEZ was a Boris Johnson policy which was then implemented by Sadiq Khan. The dislike of him is definitely race driven in a huge amount of cases which is shown by the fact that a load of the most vocal opposition to him have never lived in the city he is Mayor of.

Sadiq is not perfect and has overseen some things that I think are stupid. But he is way better than any of the options that have been offered against him in the the last 3 elections.

In terms of climate change or conservationism the current tory party is a long way to the right of boris johnson.

That does conicide with a deliberate push from right wing think tanks to weaponise the climate crisis as a cultural issue.

Everyone feel free to use this image as a response to anyone offering their 2 pence on the state of modern London in the coming weeks.

Piece of work...how does he even have any friends/relationships when his whole life is a lie

I don't think they do, really. Everything becomes transactional, what can each of them do for one other, are they an asset to the grift, liability, so on. There's got to be zero trust because at any point if others further up the chain feel they threaten the merry-go-round then they get thrown off, and they'll do it to others in a heartbeat.

Brand's existence is clearly empty and meaningless, following whatever trends it takes for relevance. It keeps him comfortable but when it all ends he'll have nothing of any real value and will be remembered only as a meme.

I was thinking about hos life before this gift, he's married with kids and assume has friends before this...what do they think of this, or perhaps this is what he is...makes.sense with the abuse allegations
