BATS THE WAY: Anti-Ulez Activists Cover Cameras With Bat Boxes

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 25 мар 2024
  • Campaigners against London mayor Sadiq Khan’s ULEZ charge are hanging bat boxes on camera posts to stop engineers repairing them.
    Activists have vandalised scores of cameras since Mr Khan's expansion of the ultra-low emission zone last year.
    And now the £10 National Trust bat homes have been seen in areas across south and south-west London, including North Cheam, Chessington and Kingston-upon-Thames.
    Bats are protected by law and it is a criminal offence to disturb their resting places and breeding sites. The newly installed boxes are accompanied by notices reading 'Stop. This is a bat box'. Under a heading 'Bats and the Law' is a list of criminal offences against bats.

Many people need transport, so they and their kids if they have them, can have a future! You can be green and also run a car!

      @@Notagain640 That's clearly not what ULEZ is for lol, there are plenty of independent air tests that have shown very safe levels of air quality on London streets vs on the Tube for example.
      Plus basic maths and Science will tell you that making cars travel more slowly (for longer) or making them take detours thanks to zoning will only increase pollution. This is a straight up money making scam from Sadiq Kahn…if you look into it you'll see it too.
