Ken Livingstone has decided Londoners aren't divided enough. So he has increased the Charge to £25 for higher emission cars - gotten the London jealous massive cooing, and the Chelserati growling. Clever little fuckwit that he is, he is convinced he is in the right. Nice one Ken. Meanwhile Porsche are wondering why he can't see little cars and big cars alike spew out more CO2 in his packed silly city anyway. Still, that's all old hat now. If they were all olympian athletes they could run or cycle everywhere, carrying heavy weights with them, or swimming up the Thames against the current. Shouldn't be too difficult. Mind the bendy buses though. Just when you thought you were doing the right thing Lord Ken pulls another stroke - snake like vehicles that have the power to squeeze out cyclists under their hungry wheels.
Accidents are up. You're so cool King Kenny. Still why should cyclists have a good life? God Livingstone has really made sure the whole thing is a sham anyway. He has no idea what cyclists go through in traffic, especially when its part of their profession, in bad,wet, icy weather, stopping at every red light, legs screaming, brakes wet and ineffective. But hey, its cool to sanction all the construction an heavy vehicles to make sure your life is hanging by a thread.
And then when the mixed traffic already turns you half neurotic, get the police to start banging fines on your head on the spot.
Still they can't pay the congestion charge, so they must pay somehow for being out in public, at least until a law is passed to make them wear masks that measure their CO2 production... Lets face it, its not about common sense, its about money. Red Ken has become Master of the greenback universe. Funny how British socialists seem to make people pay more to exist than feudal landlords.
But all this is old news.
People, the Congestion charge was always a near criminal levy that stole money from people in its early stages to such an extent they had to change the draconian way they imposed fines to make it legal. Now the cynical bastards think they have softened everyone up enough they are 'removing the concessions to LPG vehicles'., That means if you comply with their demands they will come back and ask for your supper money a different way once they have your dinner money.
But building another runway at Heathrow is fine. Yes, because now you see they have discovered that jet engines are actually giant CO2 vacuum cleaners. The only trouble is the breathing passengers, who like the cyclists, don't know when to be green. Believe you me, if its what it takes to get the levy off them for breathing, pigs will fly.
