    It's a tax. I strongly suspect the only reason it's called the "congestion charge" is so Ken can justify hounding foreign diplomats in this way. It's not a road toll (which they would have to pay), it's a tax on driving in central London.
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

          Great

          I see my ol stomping ground saffa land has also been telling that fcking stinking sod Red Ken to take his congestion charge and shove it up his large and well polished sphincter.

          I wish we could all do the same but once again we roll over and take a good shot.

          **** Ken and his outrageous congestion charge.


          Arrrrrghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

            In which case everyone who is charged it now should get their money back. Vehicle speeds in London are approx the same as when he introduced it!

            This due to a total failure to manage roadworks, increased Traffic Lights (1000 approx), bendy buses that can't go around corners without blocking traffic, absurd one way systems due to same.
