Borislol!!! Borislol!!! Pathetic. Are you sure you've used enough smilies there?

So you just bandy about terms like corrupt, and come over all 'it's my opinion' when someone challenges you on it. Nice. It was an accusation. Stand it up or withdraw it. Do you often have opinions based on nothing?

And spare me the slightly pathetic 'shouted down/breaking the law for having an opinion' wounded martyr act. The only person shouting you down is yourself, by refusing to defend your 'opinion' against Livingstone. I'm not much of a fan of him myself, but I wouldn't call him corrupt unless I could provide some kind of evidence.

I think your arguments against the Congestion Charge are the usual self-serving, rent-seeking nonsense spouted by the motorist who has grown so accustomed over the last 50 years to the entire country kow-towing to them, that they simply didn't compute when one tiny bit of it decided not to.

100% low emission vehicles wouldn't be great for congestion, no, but how realistic is that? Er, completely unrealistic. And in any case it would have benefits in terms of pollution. Come out from behind your fingers here, but the charge was always intended to be a financial penalty to those who chose to drive into the already car-unfriendly central area: it's not a failure of the charge, it's the whole point.

You see, I thought your post was a tirade of nonsense. You asked me why, I said so. Yes, Johnson won, and good luck to him. I'm quite used to it, thank you very much. Now, why is Ken Livingstone corrupt?
