The last London to Brighton Mini Run happened in 2023 due to the expansion of ULEZ to outer London but the Veteran Car Run is still going regardless. Of course most of the cars involved are old enough to avoid ULEZ but the event reminds us of all the joys of motoring. This event is…
15th May Update – Free Speech Union – Free Tooting Four! With help from the Free Speech Union, the CPS have decided not to contest the appeal and the court has confirmed that all charges are dropped and no further action will be taken. This is big news! The Tooting Four can now rightly enjoy…
So here we are after a long and entertaining campaign of protests, stunts, bladerunners, court cases, wrongful arrests, camera blocks, van blockers, install blockers, security stand offs, paint, torches, reciprocal saws, a Khanavan, a Khanaloo and bat boxes – we finally reach the ballot box stage. The last couple of weeks leading up to this…
So with less than 70 days before the election, and having tried everything we can over the past year to make Sadiq Khan see sense and scrap ULEZ – the time has come to find a way to Vote Khan Out on 2nd May. We had a strong candidate in Howard Cox who has supported…
January 27th saw the one year anniversary of the first Anti-ULEZ protest in Trafalgar Square. This pivotal moment in 2023 brought a large number of disparate people together to demonstrate their frustration at Sadiq Khan’s proposed extension of the Ultra Low Emission Zone. No-one could quite understand how this had happened – I mean there…
As we enter a New Year the fight against ULEZ continues. In fact things are going to get even more intense in the run up to May 2nd with the hope that we can deprive Sadiq Khan of a third term, scrap ULEZ and turn the tide on the war on London’s motorists. Will 2024…
A year of anti-ULEZ protesting comes to an end So we move towards Christmas, tired but not giving up. There have been some hiccups, as our popular on the spot reporter Matt Hardy is arrested but not charged, just prevented from doing his usual on the spot reporting, and a large explosion in a TFL…
So as we approach the Christmas season what’s been happening in ULEZ land. The month started well on Saturday 4th November with a protest in Old Coulsdon. This spot, right on the border, is where the mobile camera vans have been parking up catching people out so it seemed like a good place to meet…
So the battle continues and October has seen plenty of action. The bladerunners continue to be the thorn in the side of TFL, and more and more van blockers are taking on the mobile units, some are even becoming celebrities in their own right. We have @matthardybladerunner and his regular blocking sessions with his entertaining…
Khan-ival – anti-ULEZ campaigners set up on Tooting Bec Common What better way to celebrate a month of dodging the ULEZ charges than with a well placed Khan-ival. What we needed was a well earned weekend break, coming together to support the campaigners, sharing stories and discussing hardships with some quiet protesting thrown in. What…
So here we are 3 weeks in and the ULEZ fightback shows no sign of stopping. In fact it appears to be getting stronger as more people find they are affected. The letters have started dropping on the doorstep, warnings at first but the fines will come. People that are suddenly realising that they have…
As someone who cares about the environment, I have done everything right so far, but that’s just not enough for Sadiq Khan and the clean air obsessed eco zealots. I was recycling cans long before kerbside collections, back when you had to soak the label off and take them to the dump. The dump, where…
So here we are into September and with ULEZ coming in to force on the 29th August, the date was marked with a big Anti-ULEZ Death to Democracy protest outside Downing Street. This started with a procession carrying the Democracy coffin, and did feel quite sombre and funerial as it marked a day of death…
Dramatic developments in the final week of the Anti-ULEZ campaign, probably not enough to stop ULEZ before 29th, but a lot can happen in 5 days. Last weekend saw two big protests – on Saturday 19th Orpington saw a lively, good natured crowd spend a couple of hours in the sun on the War Memorial…
As we reach the deadline to Stop-ULEZ there is a lot going on, the anti-ULEZ campaign is hotting up along with the weather. Protests, interviews, political u-turns and pressure are making it a fiery end to the Summer. Well, August was off to a good start with a protest in Wallington High Street on Tuesday…
The last two weeks have been quite eventful and have pushed ULEZ up the news agenda. On 19th July the Conservative Party announced that Susan Hall would be their candidate for London Mayor in next May’s election. She has promised to stop ULEZ on day one, we remain to see what other policies she has,…
In the lull before the results of the Judicial Review we suddenly find ourselves in the middle of an important and rather exciting by-election. The resignation of Boris Johnson left a gap in London’s political landscape and the anti-ULEZ campaigners spotted a gap in the candidacy and put themselves forward for election. The timing means…
The ULEZ Extension will be monitored by cameras, which are going up at an alarming rate on a traffic light near you (in you live in the large expansion zone). Although some councils have refused to allow TFL and Sadiq Khan to install cameras on council property and council owned roads, TFL are allowed to…
