London’s ULEZ cameras cut down in broad daylight

Protesters of London’s Ultra Low Emissions Zone (which just so happens to coincide with London’s Ultra High Profit Zone) are no longer messing about. Since Mayor Sadiq Khan’s controversial climate change measure was introduced, a group of activists calling themselves ‘Blade Runners’ have been slowly ‘retiring’ the cameras that power the zone’s automated detection systems. Normally, this is done under cover of darkness, but it seems the zone is so unpopular that the cameras are now being taken down in broad daylight, with crowds of enthusiastic onlookers. In one recent incident, a camera, its pole and the traffic lights on it were all sawn cleanly off. Protesters took over the busy London intersection as one Blade Runner used a reciprocating saw on the pole, before the camera was unceremoniously doused in paint, and covered in the St. George’s cross. The notoriously heavy London traffic didn’t even seem to mind the wait. Judging by the comments on social media, this sort of thing is outrageous, dangerous, but most people were just wondering where they can get one of those saws. For non-ULEZ business, of course. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.
