Default Finally!!!!

Well, at last Ken Livingstone and his minions have said that the
congestion charge isn't about reducing congestion at all, it's about
raising money.

So they introduce the congestion charge, which does exactly what it was
alleged to be supposed to do, and reduces the amount of private cars
using Central London on weekdays.... then, because it doesn't raise
enough money, they increase the charge by 60%. I can see it coming that
even fewer people will use private cars in the area.... so it *still*
won't raise enough money.....

Something wrong with this picture, no?
