The Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) charges drivers in vehicles weighing over 3.5 tons £12.50 daily for driving within the zone, which has now expanded to include all of greater London, which will bring 5 million more Londoners into the tax zone.
LONDON – ULEZ protests.
Rishi in hiding from the public, he knows this is government policy! He knows this is the plan for all cities & towns in the UK. As published on the governments own website.
They didn’t ask you! You don’t matter!

The ULEZ cameras scan your license plate then cross-check it with a database to determine if you meet emissions standards. If not, you’re fined £12.50 per day.
