£8 from last Monday I believe.

It does what it says. It's also reduced congestion in surrounding boroughs
as well by reducing commuting.

In your dreams, traffic surveys IIRC show traffic up on other routes
around the centre! It is destroying Central London as a great shopping
area. 20% loss of trade so far.

I'm surprised you're so selfish you want unrestricted access by road
traffic where that traffic causes so much misery to the residents.

That's not what I read. If you do not reduce the population in London
and the necessity to commute, then London is not economically viable
without vast price or tax increases. The residents are the people who
are currently forced to live in heavily trafficked conditions by the
stupidity of the politicians and planning laws. Public transport
subsidised by other taxpayers is not a long term solution, even to the
socialists, witness Russia.
