“People Have Been LIED To!” | ULEZ Vigilante Says The Government Is Using Motorists As A “Cash-Cow”

TalkTV’s Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by anti-ULEZ vigilante Captain Gatso who is part of the Blade Runners group to discuss their latest action against ULEZ cameras.

Captain Gatso tells Julia that the Government have "created a war on motorists" as he explains why he will continue to destroy ULEZ cameras.

"The Government lie and they don't listen... actions speak louder than words!"

Julia Hartley-Brewer also grills him over why he thinks destroying ULEZ cameras is “justified”.

“It’s a matter of fact that smashing, taking down, stealing and defacing council or London authority property is a criminal act, we don’t endorse that!”

A TfL spokesperson said: “Vandalism is unacceptable and all incidents on our network are reported to the police for investigation. Criminal damage to ULEZ cameras or vehicles puts the perpetrators at risk of prosecution and injury, while simultaneously risking the safety of the public. Camera vandalism will not stop the ULEZ operating London-wide. All vandalised cameras are repaired or replaced as soon as possible.

“We have an extensive camera network which is sufficient to support the effective operation of the scheme. Anyone driving a non-compliant vehicle within the expanded zone will be detected and we advise everyone to check whether their vehicle is compliant and to consider the various support that is available to help transition to greener modes of transport.”

The spokesperson added: “Unfortunately, our contractors have been subjected to threats and abuse while carrying out their duties so they are advised to record any issues on mobile phones to deescalate conflict and if necessary, record evidence for police investigations. It is due to the unacceptable criminal abuse and intimidating behaviour against them that these contractors have worn face coverings. TfL is working with the police to catch those responsible for vandalism and criminal activity relating to ULEZ and arrests have been made.”

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, who made the decision to expand Ulez to the whole of London from August 29, previously warned people attacking cameras that “protest should be lawful, safe and peaceful”, adding: “It is really important to stay on the right side of the law.”
