You are right. The latest extension of the London ULEZ is just more of the same-----greenwashing for political and financial gain for the ruling elite. The original "congestion" charge in London didnt reduce congestion but made loads of money and the ULEZ has not reduced pollution but is costing poorer Londoners money as they have to get rid of their older cars. They even include motorcycles in this nonsense when,by their own statistics, motorcycles are responsible for an unmeasurably small amount of pollution. I took part in their sham "consultation" on this several years ago now and I asked why motorcycles were to be included. I got some waffle about every road user had to be included in the campaign in order to make us all part of the effort or some such crap.
