For a while, at Piccadilly Circus tube, the "hold the handrail and stand on the right" announcement was read by a bossy primary school kid. It was really odd.
Excellent as ever. I went on a school trip to London in the 80s when I was 15. It was safe enough for us to be given 2 hours on our own to explore Oxford Street. I headed straight to Our Price record store and Virgin Records. I couldn't believe a can of coke cost a pound! A whole pound! (Up here it was still 35p....). We'd love to take our lads one day, to see the galleries, museums. But not right now. Not Khan's London. It's a cesspit of crime, poverty and no way are we going anywhere near until someone gets rid of that narcissistic dwarf and cleans up our once magnificent Capital.
Boris Johnson used to ride round London on his bike. Ken Livingston rode the Tube. Khan has a bullet proof chauffeur driven diesel range rover that cost londoners 400 grand. He's a greedy, grasping little shit and the sooner he's gone the better.
Well written and I like the nanny state refrain “stand to the right” as a way to show the uselessness of pretending everything is still functional. If anyone described what the west is currently doing to itself, but set the descriptions in some hittite city or a celtic hillfort it would seem obvious how they had foolishly brought about their own demise. Why is so much of the populace so blind to what is happening to us?!
Wow...London sounds like every major city here in the U.S. They're all becoming unliveable and people with the means to flee are fleeing. As usual, those without means keep suffering.
At least here in the U.S., though, all people have to do to see who's to blame is to look in the mirror...they keep voting for these people.
As Jimmy Dore keeps saying, "If you want [politicians] to listen, you have to show them you're willing to not vote for them."
ULEZ applies to London. That's 4,000. And it's disputable. We could suggest banning DIY to 'save' a few thousand a year. The figures are tendentious. They're based on 'what ifs'.
And... your argument would be stronger if you didn't misrepresent my own. This is classic Straw Man.
My argument wasn't so much against ULEZ but against Khan's weaponisation of 'climate change' to serve his narcissistic needs and his saviour complex. Khan basks in virtue whilst others pay. It says it right there in the essay.

Hello Cristopher,
Not sure if I can share this here but it's my response to some miserable angry women who came into my shop here in Toronto. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssPt6FeOpZ8

Vote Reform! That's all I can say.
Indeed 🤣 Doesn't quite work up here yet.....folk too fond of the Limp Dims and Conservatives (still!) but we'll get there....
You remind me of Dickens. Horrified and trying to get people to see it. I have a friend who you might want to speak to. He is equally
aghast. Also an artist. I think you need each other. Maybe I can make it happen. We’ll see.

I'm done with the two main parties. A shame Uncle Ted has passed!
Who’s Uncle Ted?
I'd suggest that '4,000' deaths per year figure is a touch spurious. ULEZ hammers poorer drivers. And... it hasn't done a thing for pollution!

You clearly were not. It's written above. Please, don't waste my time.
