Coverage of Anti-ULEZ Expansion Protest at Downing Street 29th August 2023 (Day 1 of the expanded London-wide ULEZ Zone), including interviews.
This was West London Classic’s last meet before the ULEZ expansion kicks in on Tuesday 29th August, whilst the venue for this event is just outside the M25, most of the members of WLC are based in London and a very high percentage drive non-ULEZ compliant modern classics. So what will happen to car culture in London?
ULEZ Update – just five days to go and it appears all efforts to stop it have failed. Ministers have abandoned plans to block it, Scientists have been silenced and only the Camera vandals appear to be impactful.
ULEZ Update – 2 Weeks To Go – Time for a Rant! Reminded of this by a phone call from LBC radio this morning – I was on for a few minutes with Nick Ferrari. We need to call for this to be delayed, to turn the next Mayoral Election (which is not far away on 2nd May) to be turned into a referendum. Let Londoners speak out. If they vote Sadiq Khan back in, then we’ll accept the result.
In-depth interview with the truly amazing and selfless Prabhdeep Singh as he completed his week-long hunger strike in Uxbridge in protest at the ULEZ expansion. See the 41-year-old father of two, ex-British Army veteran complete it with his family and the reaction of his supporters and be presented with a very special medal!
Army veteran, Prabhdeep Singh, 41, is protesting against the ULEZ Expansion by staging a week-long hunger strike outside Uxbridge Station. A real community hero, he previously hunger striked to protest against the cost-of-living crisis exactly a year ago. I couldn’t get down there to meet him, but a friend, Keval Bhatt, went to see him yesterday and recorded this little chat on his phone. All respect to Prabhdeep and if you’re passing, take him a bottle of water as that’s all he’s surviving on!
Where is the pollution in London actually coming from? And could it mean that we’ll be looking at a ‘ULEZ’ charge for homes and buildings as well soon? And just how quickly is London’s apparently illegally toxic air actually killing us, compared to the rest of the country? Find out in this astonishing video!!
Coverage of Anti-ULEZ Expansion Protest at Trafalgar Square 5 August 2023, including interviews with Susan Hall, Conservative Mayoral Candidate and Alan Miller from Together Declaration, plus protestors, cars guys, and a climate scientist.
Don’t fall for the Mayor of London’s latest extension to the Scrappage Scheme (one of several). there’s extra money and it’s now open to all Londoners, but you can’t apply till August 21, which is too late, and there are no cars available for reasonable money right now.
Attended the Wallington Anti-ULEZ Expansion Awareness event today. I was there to chat with a team from Channel 4 News website, but of course, I had to do a few interviews of my own, including one Labour Party member who is a complete contradiction to the often described stereotype of an Anti-ULEZ Expansion protestor as being Right Wing, Conspiracy Theorists, Racists and Climate-deniers. A truly fascinating interview along with some great other chats.
