London mayor facing legal action from minicab drivers over congestion charge

IWGB supporters have been protesting in the capital for several weeks while the union raised £50,000 through a crowdfunding campaign to fund the legal action.

Muhumed Ali, a minicab driver and UPHD committee member, said:"It is completely discriminatory that we have to pay this charge while black cabs continue to be exempt. A spokesman for Mr Khan said the number of private hire vehicles entering London's congestion charge zone had grown exponetially - from 4,000 a day in 2003 to more than 18,000 today."Sadiq simply isn't prepared to ignore the damaging impact this has on congestion and increasing air pollution," he said."Congestion has a crippling impact on businesses across the capital.

TheRealSitts Best of luck to you all. Sue the self-righteous, fizzy drink warring no-mark. I note the main industry that has grown under his stewardship is the undertakers; that and EU style firework suppliers. Perhaps Aid for Africa should also sue Lammy for alienating whites.

An asian man being racist to asian men,i think the race card has reached the end of its life

Solution to all these pathetic Uber drivers claiming discrimination, go and do the knowledge so you can get yourselves a black cab, then you won't have to pay the charge. Anyone can use a sat nav.

The sooner this Islamic extremist is replaced the sooner London will recover

and now the figure is more like double a cap should be placed on the amount of licences issued at maybe 100000 and the rest should now be rescinded and that would cure the pollution and everything else that mayor khant is going on about

from the ludicrous figure that it has reached. 6 years ago there was about 70000 badges in London

It's criminal what this man has done the Private Hire badge has been raised in price quite considerably and now private hire vehicles have to pay the Congestion Charge when a simple solution would have been or still can be to reduce the amount of Private Hire licences in London

Red ken even boris johnson has managed better than this plank well next vote might see him off

The ‘clue’ is in the vehicle wording for those exempt. Buses, taxis and emergency vehicles are exempt, and minicab is technically a ‘car’ with a plate.

Time Londoners took legal action against SadiqKhan for his dire performance as MayorofLondon specifically his dire inaction to knifecrime

Where’s this 🐍 been hiding?

Let’s hope he’s convicted and has to stand down because of his egotistical attitude he would never step down,never seen a Mayor so out of his depth in his job,such a embarrassment to London to Britain

Traitor to England

Yaseenaslam381 There already meant to pay it🧐

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He should face legal action for faking for being a mayor of London

I mean seriously how much people will make if they pay every day ULEZ charge. Is he trying to rip off the middle class people in London. He should be resigning himself. MayorofLondon SadiqKhan as a Asian I will never vote you none of them

He has other things to rectify as well

They'll be complaining against the word 'Black Cab' next.

Khaniver!

He needs ousting worse ever Major of London .

Uber drivers sue London's mayorPrivate hire drivers commence legal action against London Mayor Sadiq Khan over congestion charge. Khan encouraged black cab drivers to invest in £60k electric cabs, then none of the promised infrastructure was put into place. There were supposed to be six charging point install companies - there is only one and 65 points for whole of London. Most drive on petrol as a result. Wasn’t they only ever exempt when booked. I see thousands with no passengers. Discriminatory because 94% of the drivers are black. Are they kidding ? What the hell is going on with this Country ? Everyone has completely lost the plot. I'm actually speechless. Why play the race card every time ?
