We are a pretty angry lot on here. Thought I would start a thread where we could put things that have got our goat.

This is mine for today. I keep seeing CE in relation to dates eg Battle of Hastings 1066 CE not 1066 AD. I am not religious but why the need to change a system that works? CE stands for common era!

Definitions that were a constant are now changing.

The definition of what racism is has changed. The definition of what a woman is (adult human female) has been revised to include bepenised individuals.

There used to be such a thing as reality.

Listening to various folk discussing the proposed enlargement of the ULEZ , although it won't affect me at all but it pisses me off that  Khan can be allowed to get away with this money grabbing scheme.

Well, in defence of the useless moron, many other cities are implementing similar money grabbing schemes, as the motorist is evil and a socially easy target.

I heard something the other day that seems both ridiculous and unbelievable. Instead of being labelled as 'Paedophiles', Police Scotland are referring to them 'MAPs'.
Minor attracted people.

No, there is no defending “President Khan”. He changed the rules every time it went against him and even the “loaded” questions on the proposal consultation were designed to work for him (and still managed to do the opposite). Example was that when the votes were all counted, it was something like 87% against it, so he decided to exclude anyone not living inside the zone, so all those that would be affected just outside it had no say.

In my work, we have 45 employees in our branch on average, 36 of them live outside the zone currently and 29 will still be outside it when it expands. Each one of them has to travel into the new zone. How many have to change their cars just to get to work or find alternative employment (2 have already handed in their notice as not worth the grief and are going elsewhere purely based on ULEZ). How many customers have cars that are not going to be compliant that will either go elsewhere to service their car outside the zone, change car to another brand if inside the new zone or something else?

He only got back in last time as West London voted for him and they have the higher concentration of voters.

I could rant for ages on that cretin but you get my gist. And the main reason that other place are doing the same is because of the revenue generated by the initial LEZ (commercial diesel vehicles). What they forgot is the damage it does to the commercial and retail sectors. Not as bad on inner London areas, but will potentially decimate outer London and Kent/Surrey/Essex areas over time.

The discussion I watched today a spokesman actually stated that 5 London boroughs so far have stated that they will refuse to allow the camera system that monitors the travel of vehicles to be erected, Khan is facing a lot of opposition just hope that he's defeated.

I hope Hillingdon was one... Financially, Heathrow carries a lot of clout, I just hope they have the balls to stand against it.

[Sir Tigger KC]

I recently watched a London Assembly committee and one of the members asked Khan whether the Metropolitan Police had a dedicated unit to deal with Grooming Gangs like other police forces around the country.

His answer?  Are you asking me that question because of my faith and background?

The questioner replied: No, because you are the head of the Metropolitan Police.

The Assembly's Presiding Officer (another adherent of the religion of peace) then intervened, ruled the question invalid/irrelevant and quickly moved on to another question. 

Unbelievable!
