Ulez will add just 13 minutes to life expectancy in London but the Mayor is forcing it anyway
By Jo Nova

It’s not now and has never been, about your health

Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London is forcing workers to shell out thousands of pounds to buy new cars or fill his tax coffers with the £12.50 daily fee for driving slightly older models. Some will have to give up their cars altogether — and for many it means a profound change of lifestyle. Yet what’s it all for?

The Mayor’s own team shows it will achieve almost nothing, yet he’s doing it anyway. It’s not now, and has never been about “the science”. The results of research are entirely optional apparently:

SADIQ Khan’s hated ULEZ expansion will add just 13 minutes to the average life expectancy, it emerged today.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

What do the Brits expect, after electing a muslim as mayor?

What reasonable, thinking white Christian of Western Civilization would do such a thing?
(and expect good results)

They mayor will get his wish.  People and businesses will leave London.
