Leave the EU so they stop interfering with our air?
It's an interesting view. But I'm sure the "Leave" campaign wasn't centred on "let's make sure we can pollute the atmosphere as much as we want, instead of having to have that European-style clean air forced onto us".

I'm a Cyclist but I think it was madness introducing the Cycle lanes in Central London , You now have cars sitting all day / night long churning out fumes and going nowhere quickly ,come summer this will get worse, I know people will say that cyclist safety is paramount ( and I don't have the answers ) but it seems like a double edged sword , safety on the road or pollution related disease in later life .
Ban all diesel cars from central London and increase congestion charge to £25 on all cars. Increase tax on diesel by 100%.
Pollution from diesel cars is a massive problem in central London and it is scandalous how powerful lobbyists have suppressed the scientific evidence and allowed the situation get this bad.
The whole congestion charge thing was brought in as a stealth tax as, at the time, most people could afford the £5 fee. If they really wanted to stop congestion and help the environment, they would've made it £50 to enter Central London.
That's on the way but it's massively hypocritical of our government to penalise people with a diesel engine when they were encouraged to get them in the first place because of their efficiency and thus burning less fuel.
We massively cocked up on diesel engines and now there's huge backtracking going on with no one willing to admit they were wrong.

Agreed. It was very much a UK and EU policy to encourage diesel use, as they are better from a CO2 standpoint. ..
I bought a diesel car because it was recommended. I thought it weird at the time, as to me it was bleedin obvious that buses and lorries appear to chuck out more shite than the average car.

Good ideas except the highlighted part .. that part of your analysis would mean that transport costs and the ensuing rise in prices would be untenable. Do you have any idea how many diesel engined delivery trucks go about their business in the UK every day ? .. by all means keep diesel engines out of city centres but to price diesel fuel out of the market entirely is just not feasible .. and remember that not too long ago the government were advocating diesel as the fuel of the future and V W agree ((:>) .. but anyone who pays too much heed to what governments preach is bound to be misled much of the time .. any measures to clean up the air will take a long time to come to fruition and will be VERY expensive .. got to start somewhere though

They congest the road and slow down cars and delivery vehicles.
With no people there you wouldn't need Buses, taxis and cars.
I will be starting with a range of Charlton life user names, they can come with or with the CARD/WAR logo.
And i wouldn't have to be too ethical with regards to pollution because ultimately it'll only make me richer.
Please pm me your orders.
.....and £345 for push bikes
