Boris Johnson cancelled the congestion charge in Kensington and Chelsea, the “Royal” borough.
And for the rest of us, more expensive buses, less bicycle space and more pollution.
He claims this is a democratic decision, of course, if you ask people: “Do you want to pay less tax?” they are not going to say no. But did he ask us if we wanted to pay more for public transport? If we wanted to breathe more CO2 and co., or if we wanted less space for our bicycles?
Well, he only asks the questions that suit him. He is not there for London and the Londoners, he is there for the businesses, oil merchants and their clique, and we pay.
If these people take hold of power, we will pay, like we always do when these people are in power.
For those who voted him in, think about it next time you board a London bus, and enjoy the drive in Chelsea, take all your time in the traffic jams.
Another few like these Bob, and you’ll be out.
