It's just those who hate Khan who really kicked of about it. It's certainly not the showstopper that some wish it was Miami will be fuming, as Khan currently seems more popular than ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySanchez Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 17 minutes ago, Not in Crawley said: Interesting with ULEZ, it seems to be a real issue with those who just hate Khan and won't vote for him anyway in blue tory heartlands (like Bromley, someone on the local FB groups is selling Say No To ULEZ gingerbread men christmas tree decs - bonkers) its becoming more of an extreme position now that folk have realised 95% of people don't have to do anything (and to be honest for the past three years no one was selling a second hand car without ULEZ compliant as a main selling point) Also, lots of people are concerned about air quality, and hammering the point makes you look anti-green and anti-family when it's a concern for those who live near main roads for their little ones. Basically, yes it'll cost some votes but the majority of these wouldn't be voting Labour anyway so it'd only make a difference if it was a close or maginal contest, which it doesn't appear to be. Also, who came up with Safer with Susan? Fucking hell... Aye If anyone has a non ULEZ compliant car it's either because it's on its last legs and they need a new one anyway or they don't drive it very much so no big issue Those saying it'll hit the poorest hardest seem to be from pretty affluent areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few on our local facebook group, again all have decent cars but are saying they are trying to stick up for the poorest. The poorest in London don't have cars, they don't even take the tube - they're the ones on buses. Although, it has pissed my Dad off as he has a desiel so he's going to have to pay 11 quid a day when he comes down to visit at Christmas. But as those in Bolton don't get a vote on the mayor I don't think its a huge concern! Edited November 7 by Not in Crawley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly not the showstopper that some wish it was Miami will be fuming, as Khan currently seems more popular than ever The article in the Standard which quoted the poll ratings also noted that Khan has a pretty poor approval rating at the moment. I recall 30% thought he was doing a good job and 46% thought he wasn’t, so he has a -16 approval rating. However, people have indicated they will vote for him, presumably because he is better than the alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is that popular and he's been there a while but as you say, the Tories appear to have given up on it with their candidate and as a party are really unpopular at the moment. I actually think they were going to give it a decent go given how long he's been in post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted November 8 Site Supporter Share Posted November 8 Suella Braverman is fucking grotesque. Another one that makes the current Tory party unelectable.
