He then specifically targets them with a huge increase in their travelling costs.
I want to see congesting charging moving east as well as west. Fat chance though... too many red ken supporters.
Look! It's ken:

Congestion charging - yes, I think that everybody should be subjected to a sniffle test before being allowed to board a train. Anyone with congestion should be charged double.

Not far wrong there. I've had to get off the tube more than once and walk because the stench was so over-powering I feared I might vomit, and secondly the smell would stick to my clothes and hence follow me about all day.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

If you consider the centre of London to be what's inside the Circle Line, then only the Eastern half of that was under congestion charge, the West like Hyde Park, Paddington etc were not covered! About time this is rectified, I sayLast edited by hyperD; 6 October 2005, 11:29.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

If you look at a map, the centre of the congestion charge is pretty much on the City of London centre, near Holborn.
The proposed new extension is westward, from Oxford Circus to West Kensington. If red ken extended the same length both east and west then it would have encroached on Tower Hamlets.
He of course may well do that in the future but I'd be surprised if he did.
