NO to ULEZ for Motorcycles Scooter Riders registered below 2006 - Ultra Low Emissions Zone


Recommended Posts

Very exciting. And your reason? Happy to contribute towards 1000s of deaths in London each year from the poor air?? The future is electric. As nobody on a bike goes further than about 30 miles nowadays ideal (I've done 500 miles on a bike in a day when I used it as a sole form of transport)

The future is actually pricing unnecessary private transport off the roads with a view to cleaning up the air..... so, people will think twice about driving the short distances where they could use alternate means.


A correlation with improvements in public transport is essential.

Wow, right on. That's a pub conversation (I am a professional tree huger BTW so many of my posts are to provoke discussion).


You can also argue that a near empty bus isn't great for the environment either.

Why? Prey tell. What's your issue? Why didn't you respond to TfL's consultation? Don't you have bigger issues ie the increasingly tougher restrictions on getting a licence in the first place and the cost of insurance? This is a social network/community forum where members talk about issues rather than post one liners. Persuade me. (yes I know I am coming across as pompous).

Not pompous at all Malumbu, imho, to expect posters to engage in a discussion rather than simply repeatedly bumping posts without any topic development.


I think others have made some excellent points, and I'd be very interested in reading further debate. xx

    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
    • The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......  
    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.
