London's congestion charge is about to become exclusively a pollution charge. The new rates will allow cars with low emissions to pay no charge at all. So if we all take the bait and switch to low-emission cars, we may reduce pollution but we'll be able to go in and out of central London as we like. Result? Congestion. It's madness.
It's one of those odd things . . . I live in my little house by the sea and listen to the radio and reckon I know best about more-or-less everything . . . as I keep telling the news-casters, the policiticians and all the experts interviewed there. I shout quite loud - but I'm beginning to suspect they can't hear! Sometimes, I write to my MP . . . but there's always more to say. So, here it is!
