Wheels of Justice

Five Conservative local councils are pursing an entirely non-vexatious legal case against the expansion of London's ultra-low emission zone; and the fact that three of their five grounds for complaint have been thrown out before reaching court will doubtless serve only to thicken their resolve. Of the remaining grounds, an enemy of the people has labelled one "doubtful but arguable" and a single aspect of the other "on the cusp," which is more than enough justification for any Conservative-run council throwing taxpayers' money against the green crap. The plaintiffs argue that drivers will be illegally inconvenienced, thanks in large part to the lack of public transport alternatives which has mysteriously persisted through the last decade and a half of Conservative rule. The ULEZ was brought in under the régime of the National Johnson, but the fiend Khan intends using it against the suburbs, thereby exacerbating those terroristic and paedophiliac suspicions with which patriotism inadvertently but inevitably colours his racial profile.
