At last, an article from the BBC that has woken up to the fact that it's not just 4x4s.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7242445.stm

I think this will be the start of a wake up call for some activists AT LAST.

Finally! And being a BBC news item, it's the gospel truth!

Uh-Oh ...

Looks like the congestion charge did have an effect because people are being able to see through the smoke screen :)

In an associated article, even Boris Johnson is talking sense for once!

Boris Johnson, the Conservative candidate for London Mayor, said: "In effect, the mayor has just given the green light for richer people to buy smaller cars and enter the zone for free while families who struggle with one big car are left feeling the pinch."

And those richer people will have bought 2 cars with the associated manufacturing emissions, when they otherwise would have only had one. What sense is there in that?

Equally, I suspect most people here would agree that encouraging people to sell their car and buy a new lower emission car is lunacy. It only becomes sensible once the old car reaches the end of it's working life.

But great to see a BBC article on the subject that shows the stupidity of it all.

I have a simple answer, I don't go to loondun, I hate the place.
