Let me see.............. Red Ken the rapist or freedom of choice?????????????

 Not a difficult decision for me.

If you read some of their arguments they make perfect sense. A large MPV resident will have their congestion charge increased by 3000% from 80p to £25, thats an extra £8,500 per year.

 

I hope they win. Power to the people.

looks like they won then!

PORSCHE UPDATE ON JUDICIAL REVIEW PROCESS

July 2008

Legal campaign update -
Porsche wins victory in congestion charge challenge

Thank you very much for your support as we challenged Mayor Livingstone's proposed £25 congestion charge in London.
As you saw for yourself, the congestion charge was a major issue in the mayoral campaign and the candidate who opposed this extension, Boris Johnson, was elected Mayor.  

I am pleased to inform you that, today, the Administrative Court in London has approved a consent order quashing the increase to the charge.  The new Mayor's legal team accepted that the previous Mayoral administration should have taken into account research from King's College which showed that the new charge would actually increase CO2 emissions in Greater London and, consequently that the new charge could, in fact, be unlawful.

Porsche has always been confident that the legal case was right and now we are proud to have played a decisive role in striking down such a blatantly political tax targeting motorists.

It is expected that significant legal costs will be awarded and Porsche has decided to donate those costs to a fantastic charity called Skidz, which takes at-risk young people and trains them in motor vehicle maintenance and mechanics.  This gives them the tools and confidence they need to find gainful employment and avoid a life of crime.  

The support from Porsche will allow Skidz to open a facility in Hillingdon, providing this opportunity to young Londoners for the first time.

If you have any further comments or questions, you can contact Porsche directly by e-mail at judicial.review@porsche.co.uk or telephone 08457 911 911.

Thank you again for your support which was tremendously encouraging and important to the challenge.

Yours sincerely,

Andy Goss
Managing Director

this reminds me of this classic scene in flowery t**ts:

Basil then proceeds to mention the war at every opportunity, upsetting the German guests more and more as he rapidly descends into a fit of xenophobic ranting about everything and everyone that most Germans would rather forget.

When the fed up German asks Basil to stop going on about the war, Basil kindly reminds him that they started it. “We did not start it,” protests the German. “Yes you did, you invaded Poland”, replies Basil!
