Just admit it boy, its just a tax. Disguising it as Global warming bollocks may get the environ-mentalists onside, but we all know its only about raising tax.

What's more, it's nastily discriminating against those poor souls trying to take their off-road vehicles on to the fields and farmlands of Chelsea and Kensington.

Discriminating, yes, as the cars he's penalising produce just 7500 of the 8,000,000 tonnes of CO2 emitted by London traffic.

Nah I think Ken has been mayor for far too long and is playing god with central london.
I'm all for people cycling as the helthy option but then i dont see the point of paying road tax every year so that cyclists can benefit where as i have to pay extra to just pass through central London.
Congestion charg is just another fancy word for tax. Has Ken really put all that money into Transport for London. I thought the point of congestion charge was to reduce traffic in central London nit take up twice the space with those bendy buses.
I'll admit ken has done good things in th epast when he was with the GLC but I think he has been resting on his laurels spending Londons money on a lot of unneccessary things.
Maybe we should apply Porn Barons logic here...fresh blood, with new vision etc...Doesnt bother me if its a man or a woman, black or white, just make sure it aint Ken.

Terrance, I reckon Red Ken is taking the Mick out of you and your tasty new Landrover. The question is - are you going to let him get away with it?

Well, there you have it, Tel. Warren has shown the way. You best hand over your tasty new motor to me, old son. You don't want to go wrecking the ecosystem of the combined Home Counties, now do you? You know how cut up you'd be about that. Tell you what - to save yourself any eco-heartache, the next time we meet up I'll come down on the train and then drive that extravagant carbon creating Chelsea tractor of yours up to the windy wilds of Yorkshire where it can't do as much damage.... Hey, Tel. Don't mention it. That's what pals are for...
