    We heard the explosion from Welling. Drove past the van in that video a few days later after the road had reopened and it was proper fucked. If that van hadn't been there and anyone had been in the path of the debris they would be dead. Whoever is responsible is an absolute moron and needs to be locked up. 
    They arrested a couple of men from miles away, 60 & 61 years old. They must be seriously unhinged, assuming they did it. At their age, if convicted they are never going to pay a congestion  or ULEZ charge again in their lives. Causing explosions you normally quite righty have the keys thrown away.
    There should be some legal repercussions for whoever 'radicalised' these scumbags too.

    Loaded phrase or not, men in their early 60's don't suddenly decide, off their own back, to start making IED's and using them on our streets.
    Radicalised- behave

    I am pretty sure there is a mayoral election in May.
    Judging by what happened in the by-election in Uxbridge the ULEZ issue might be a bit of a factor, I personally believe the people who damage the camera infrastructure are antagonistic towards the present mayor for another reason beyond money.

    what reason is that?

    Left wing - nothing to do with being left or right wing- I'm certainly not right wing,I'm just saying if there was a viable alternative in outer London for public transport, then no problem- but they have put the cart before the horse.....so,what was it- student of public sector worker?

    I think knife crime is also a sad statistic and policing more generally are issues he will be criticised for. 
    Police numbers have been cut, and police stations closed down - by central government. Recent recruits aren’t capable at this stage of replacing the experienced officers that were cut.
    Youth centres have been closed, the Sure Start scheme was shut down. Poverty has increased. The gap between rich and poor has increased massively. 
    I’m not sure you can pin the blame for any of this on Khan. The Tories need to start taking responsibility for their actions over the last 14 years. Actions have consequences.

    Radicalised- behave
    Radicalised - the action or process of making somebody more extreme or radical in their opinions on political, social or religious issues.

    Which bit do you disagree with?  

    I'm all for people protesting / taking action for a cause but this cause is just a bizarre hill to die on, leaving no alternative explanation other than radicalisation in my mind.  

    Of all the issues in the UK over say the last 20 years, people want to risk prison / other peoples lives for the cause of driving an older car into London without paying a fee?
    There speaks a person who is either a student or works for the public sector- the older car issue,most people can't afford to change or there's no alternative public transport wise- ffs radicalised indeed

    Neither of those apply to me I'm afraid.

    No one is suggesting that being pissed off about it means you're radicalised.  Most people that drive to the Valley, myself included are pissed off over the changes to parking, that doesn't equal being radicalised.  

    But if you've got yourself so worked up that you're risking the lives of others and your own freedom over it, you've probably been radicalised, it's an extreme thing to do.

    Explains why he's keeping ULEZ.
    But didn’t we say yesterday ULEZ funds are invested in greener buses etc?
    Definitely worth keeping then. Likewise the free meals at Primary schools.

    Do you know any serving police officers or ones who have just retired? 

    Ask them for their opinion on Khan.

    Ps I'm totally with you that the Teresa May is also very much to blame for the mess we are now in thinking she could get rid of 20,000 experienced officers without consequences.

    The point was where the funds for the freeze are coming from not what / where it is being spent

    The amount of times I've stood at the top of shooters hill, or by the statue in Greenwich Park, or on the path between Middle Park Avenue and Eltham Palace and looked at a crystal clear London skyline...and all before ULEZ.

    The only one I do know (left a year ago) has no problem with him at all. I can’t imagine too many officers are all that enamoured of Tory policy in this area after their numbers were decimated though. Khan’s efforts to clean up the police service of course won’t be popular with a section officers.

    I didn’t say he won’t be blamed unfairly. That’s sort of my point. The next mayoral election will give an indication on that.

    That's asked/answered in the BBC link. I'm sure if he increased fares you would be full of praise.

    I expect Khan to breeze through the Mayoral election. The opposition seem to not be bothered fighting him. 

    I also think you can praise free school meals or attempts to build more council houses whilst also criticising other policies.

    Boris was more interested in vanity projects like the ‘Garden Bridge’ unfortunately.

    Wasn’t Boris Johnson interested in sloping off and using public money to pay for the sexual services of Jennifer Arcuri?
    I don’t think that behaviour led to cleaner air for the population.

    Eh?

    happy that fares are frozen. 

    If it’s business rates paying then fine.

    my original concern remains that ULEZ may be a cash drain in the short term.

    Mayoral election in spring, let's see if you're right.

    Most people i know agree with ULEZ.
