Exclusive: London’s ‘ULEZ’ Car Emissions Tax Is Part of a ‘War on Individual Liberty’, Warns Laurence Fox

London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s anti-car ULEZ tax scheme is part of a wider “war on individual liberty” against the British people, Laurence Fox told Breitbart London.  Listen To Story

 

On the campaign trail in Uxbridge, as he seeks to replace Boris Johnson in the House of Commons in the by-election on Thursday, Reclaim Party leader Laurence Fox has found that the issue most concerning to voters in the London suburb is Mayor Sadiq Khan’s expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).

 

Mayor Khan’s supposedly climate-inspired initiative is set to expand the £12.50 (~$15.50) tax per day for driving anywhere in all 32 boroughs of the capital next month, in a move that opponents have noted will disproportionately impact the working class, many of whom need to drive or commute in London to earn a living.

 

Yet for Fox, hiding behind the green veneer are the hallmarks of the craven desire for authoritarian control.

 

“There’s a war on individual liberty,” Fox told Breitbart London. “It’s like all great pieces of social engineering, it’s very slow. It’s boiling the frog, the frog doesn’t know it’s getting boiled. And those people that can see it for what it is, and can see what’s coming, are waving the flags and trying to warn people, but a lot of people want to bury their heads in the sand and hope it all goes away. But the problem is, it’s not going to go away.”

 

“You can’t just get in your car and go somewhere without being fined or taxed in some way, but where does it stop?
