Blade Runners in London - fantastic effort to nullify (anti-white racist, left wing lunatic) Mayor’s “pollution” tax grab of half a billion pounds

Attacks on ULEZ Cameras Almost Double in August | The Epoch Times

“Crimes involving damage and theft on Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) cameras have almost doubled in a month, according to the latest numbers from London’s Metropolitan Police.

On Friday, the Met announced that according to its latest figures, a total of 510 crimes, including 159 reports of cameras being stolen and 351 of cameras being damaged, were recorded between April 1 and August 31 this year.”

Go Blade Runners. Is there a GiveSendGo account to cover legal fees for anyone that gets caught, provide for loss of wages and specialist equipment, like a ladder? Haha!

The rationale for the ULEZ is here:

Everything You Need To Know About ULEZ - ULEZ

2 million people live inside the ULEZ – millions of cars pass through each year – how many are “non-compliant, maybe 5%?

I bet that there are a potential at least 50,000 potential Blade Runners out there.

Citizen “I hate whites” “.. Khan claims is a measure to improve air quality. Transport for London (TfL) has installed almost 1,900 ULEZ cameras in the expanded area.”

How many cameras?

1,900? With just 1,900 out of a possible 50,000 Blade Runners? 10 minutes to disable/remove one camera? All over in ten minutes. “Liberation for Tooting”.(Explanation of that here Citizen Smith - Wikipedia - Citizen Khan’s “crib” is Tooting, Citizen Khan was a different British sit-com from the 80’s - not very funny).

Prior to the latest expansion, around 225 million pounds, with one third in penalties, had been paid in 2022.

ULEZ: Charges and fines raised nine-figure sum in 2022 - BBC News

“Transport for London (TfL) says the money is used to cover "set-up costs" for the ULEZ expansion and "running and improving" the rest of the network.”

Shocking, right? Charging people to expand a tax base to levy even more charges.

And just ten minutes to save Londoners a probable doubling of the 225 million pounds collected last year. Blade Runners should be getting paid a bounty of a thousand pounds per camera!

Pay the Blade Runners 1.9 million quid to save Londoners around half a billion pounds a year!

I wonder how much it would cost to recycle and purify the air in the worst affected roads used by children? Or maybe even invent something that captured the exhaust produced the “ignition, compression, combustion and exhaust” cycles. Probably 100 million pounds?

Fun fact: the 1982 movie “Blade Runner” was set in Los Angeles in 2019.

What’s the deal with the cameras?

“ULEZ cameras look for drivers of non-compliant vehicles who are then subsequently charged £12.50 a day to drive in any London borough. London Mayor Sadiq Khan has faced fierce opposition to the scheme.”

From here:

Paying the ULEZ charge - Transport for London (tfl.gov.uk)

“We prefer that you drive a vehicle that meets the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) emissions standards so you don't need to pay the charge. If you do need to pay, charging days run from midnight to midnight, every day of the year (except Christmas Day).

You can pay by midnight on the third day following the journey or up to 90 days in advance. The daily charge is:

• £12.50 for cars, motorcycles, vans and specialist vehicles (up to and including 3.5 tonnes) and minibuses (up to and including 5 tonnes)

Note the 1984 Newspeak – “We prefer that you drive a vehicle that meets..” but if you don’t meat out preference and you drive through the ULEZ every day, we will charge you 4,500 pounds a year because you don’t meet our “preference”.

Vehicles likely to be liable for the ULEZ charge thus include:

• Petrol cars and vans sold before 2006

• Diesel cars and vans sold before 2015

• Motorbikes sold before 2007

You can check whether your vehicle is compliant by entering its registration number on the TfL website.

ULEZ is not the only tax paid by Londoners.

From here:

ULEZ: Where and when - Transport for London (tfl.gov.uk)

“ULEZ, LEZ and DVS operate in the same area, but they are different schemes. The area covers all London boroughs and the City of London.

Charging times

• Congestion Charge (CC): Operates 07:00-18:00 Monday-Friday, 12:00-18:00 Saturday-Sunday and bank holidays. No charge between Christmas Day and New Year's Day bank holiday (inclusive)

• ULEZ: Operates 24 hours a day, midnight to midnight, every day of the year, except Christmas Day (25 December)

• LEZ: Operates 24 hours a day, midnight to midnight, every day of the year

• Direct Vision Standard (DVS) and HGV Safety Permit: Operates at all times for lorries over 12 tonnes gross vehicle weight

Find out more about paying the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and LEZ, and learn more about DVS.”

The congestion charge is 15 pounds a day for ”non-exempt” vehicles using central London between 7 am and 6 pm.

“The difference between congestion charge and ulez¹²³is that the congestion charge is a daily fee for all vehicles (with some exceptions) that drive within the congestion charge zone during certain hours, while the ulez is a daily fee for vehicles that don't meet certain emissions standards that drive within the ulez zone at any time. Currently, the ulez zone covers the same area as the congestion charge zone, but it operates separately and has its own charge.”

The congestion charge raised taxes of around another quarter of a billion pounds a few years ago.

What happens to that money? Lots of grift to spread around within “cultural diversity initiatives”!

Pity the poor bugger in a “non-exempt” vehicle driving through the ULEZ between 7 am and 6pm!

Onwards!
