I’d just like to say that, as a rather smug and superior electric car driver, the extension of the Ultra Low Emission Zone is a welcome addition to London’s fight against congestion and pollution and its quest for a greener, more caring, more carbon-free contribution to the world and all the polar bears. Ahhhhhh. And ‘the world’ as we all know, begins and ends in Uxbridge.
And on Thursday there was a by-election in that very place. There were two others but as one was up north and the other so far to the South West that the indigenous population still haven’t heard of the futility of electing Lib-Dems into parliament (about as useful as filling an electric car with petrol), we shall focus on Uxbridge. Because it is the seat so recently vacated by The Fat Blonde.
By elections are, by their very nature, no real indication of what might happen in a General Election. You can vote for who you like, to make a point, to upset things, for whatever reason, because it won’t make any difference to the political landscape when a government has a sizeable majority. And generally, the points and protests people make are against the government. No point making them against the opposition; they do nothing and what little they say has insufficient substance to warrant protest. Or even comment in most instances.
But the Conservatives held Uxbridge. Which, considering how badly Boris fucked up virtually everything and still may end up in prison, must be seen as a massive loss by the Labour Party. And all because of ULEZ.
Because ULEZ is the brainchild of the Mayor with no Brain. Not just a tosser but a Labour tosser. And as ULEZ is preached as a ‘green’ issue, it is not. It is just a way to raise tax. And those generally driving the older cars which are not ULEZ compliant, are the ‘workers’. The not so wealthy, or they’d get a newer car. But they can’t afford it. So instead, they have to pay £12.50 each day they drive. In an area which is very rural.
Kier Starmer was asked ‘will you cancel the ULEZ extension if you get to power?’ To which, being a total tosser himself, he replied ‘the matter needs some reflection’. As if its a theological question about heaven. So the newsman repeated it, saying that ‘that’s not an answer’, so Kier clarified it by saying ‘it needs some reflection’. Fuckwit.
I had to get some petrol for my lawn mower and just loved the irony of this photo.
Happy Saturday
