Good, I hope they keep getting destroyed. The government should not be spying on their own citizens

ULEZ is about health. If the fumes from the car is so healthy, please show me the data that supports that.

The idiots destroying this cameras will be paying more in council tax to replace them. That really sounds like an intelligent approach.

If it was about health, Sadiq Khan would be doing something about the terrible pollution in the underground. But that pollution isn't from cars, so he doesn't care.

You mean like this?

The pandemic did provide Transport for London (TfL), who manage the Underground, the opportunity to make some improvements. Ventilation systems were assessed and according to the Mayor’s Transport Strategy Update in 2021 "the London Underground ventilation infrastructure is typically designed in excess of statutory minimum requirements with an adequate provision of fresh air."

You don't fix a problem with constant whataboutisms, and certainly not with whataboutisms with no credibility.

How else do you practically propose to run ULEZ?

[-] md5crypto@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You don't. Civil disobedience is fine for Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil, but not for this?
