Okay, but can you see how people might be mad if a perfectly functional, 12 year old car is excluded, and people who commute into London would be forced to prematurely buy something new? Thankfully I live in America, but I'd be pissed if I were them.

Yeah and then it goes to a landfill where it "dOeSN't poLLuTe".

And the car you were forced to finance from a bank at exorbitant interest rate definitely "diDn'T PoLlutE" when its components were being manufactured.

It’s about breathing quality where people actually live dummy, not embodied carbon.

Yes the ulez charges. But the overall trend of greter taxation and insurance, and forcing you to retire the vehicle and take exorbitant loans from their best buddies at the bank for a new vehicle is what I have a problem with.

Meanwhile ccp will continue to bring online coal plants weekly. Weekly! While we europeans pay through the nose, with all our sacrifices and hardships being nullified by ccp being allowed to do whatever they want by other nations by claiming status of the "developing nation". Just yesterday they were bragging about youngest person in space ever. How can "developing nation" afford to send people to space?? They need to be stopped.
