£25.00 to drive in London - Porsche taking a stand

[buster]

I see that the guys over at Porsche are taking a stand against Tsar Ken in asking for a Judical review regarding the £25.00 a day charge for driving a nice car in London.

This is my email to Audi: -

Dear Sirs

As a keen, and long term, Audi driver I was interested to see that your
rivals at Porsche have decided to make a stand against Tsar Ken with the proposed
£25.00 per day congestion charge (How badly named is that?). Should be a
"people who have worked hard and strived for something better tax."

Are you going to help out here and make a stand, as my own Audi A6 will
effectively be banned from driving in London as I frankly cannot afford such a
fee.

I really don't fancy buying a 1L 'pop around town' car to make my frequent
trips from Yorkshire to London!

No answer yet, but then I only sent it Thursday morning.

I see this £25.00 charge in London as the thin end of the wedge. If people in the UK do not stand up to this now, then it will spread to all cities, then all towns, then all roads.

What is the view on here?

Let them walk all over us?

Stand up to it?

Everyone write to the manufacturers of their car to get help?

Luckily in Edinburgh it was put to a vote after much public out cry and didn't get through parliament. Unlucky Londoners
