I totally agree. This stop the boats nonsense is being used by both parties to score political points. As I pointed out in another thread the Tories would get more votes stopping Khan and his every growing ULEZ zones. This issue in question should have been addressed fairly and properly before even Covid came along. It’s a Home Office and Civil Service issue that has never been addressed. Bruce and I argued for a long time over this, he believed in open borders and I believed in legal migration anywhere. Personally I‘m happy for anyone to come here, either for work or as genuine migrants, and I said so in here years ago, provided it was done in a legal fashion and queue jumping via people trafficking was effectively made redundant. It does no one any good politicising this issue…..
The Low Emission Zones are a central government directive that councils have to meet. At least, the one in Bristol is, so assume Londons is as well.
The Green thing is a bit OTT, I agree. Due to some Government grant, I have recently had cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, and ventilation tiles and double glazing stuff installed. For free. All the craftsmen who did the work all agreed with me; "Its all a load of crap" basically. But the snug does feel, well, more snug.
