Civil Disobedience: Activists Block ‘Every Single’ Climate Spy Camera in London
( The Video IS Not Related To The Breitbart News Article)
In a mass act of civil disobedience, activists blocked “every single” camera in the borough of Sutton used to enforce Sadiq Khan’s climate car tax.
The pushback continues against Sadiq Khan’s expansion of the Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) from its previous incarnation covering a relatively small area of central London as an anti-congestion measure to extend to the entirety of the capital, meaning that drivers of vehicles that do not comply with the mayor’s climate standards are charged a base fee of £12.50 per day for driving anywhere in the city, disproportionately impacting working-class commuters.
On Sunday afternoon, around 400 activists protested in the borough of Sutton, an area previously unaffected by the green scheme, whose local council and a resident petition opposed the expansion of ULEZ to cover the area.
The activists dispersed throughout the borough, using signs to block the licence plate cameras used to enforce the tax, which they said, in combination with the actions of ULEZ camera smashing vigilantes — referred to as the ‘Blade Runners’ — meant that “every camera” was useless to the city government. There has also been an emerging trend of citizens “ULEZ fishing”, using fishing poles to plaster stickers onto the lens of cameras throughout the city.
In an interview from Sunday’s protest with The Telegraph, Kingsley Hamilton, a bus driver and member of the campaign group Action Against Unfair Ulez, said: “There are 107 cameras that we are aware of but a lot of them have been deactivated.
“We got at least 80 covered today, so every single camera in the borough is either deactivated or is being covered with a placard today. We’ve put messages out on social media advertising the fact it is only for three hours, so drivers can do what they would normally do – like visit a relative in hospital, without being fined.”
Hamilton’s wife, who also joined the protest, added: “We can’t afford to buy a new car and if my son needs to go to hospital, I’m not going to wait for an ambulance – I’m going to drive him myself.” https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/02/12/civil-disobedience-activists-block-every-single-climate-spy-camera-in-london-borough/
