False. This is classic fake news. If you think climate change isn't real, then be honest and transparent about why you hate making life easier for walkers and cyclists. Here's more on the truth, i.e. there was no destruction of cameras:
Looks like some truth to this Good luck to the blade runners UK is going crazy and some V for Vendetta action seems in order to reclaim their country

This is the way... but you need to routinely exercise you civil disobedience muscle... otherwise when it's really needed you will be weak, feeble, and then comply. Case in point: covid
It’s not even close to being true. The 50k unpaid fines is, but that’s a certain demographic in a certain city who think that they are untouchable, and the city is broke.

This cracked me up because #true
😄😂🤣 I support your right to be how you want to be but you’re not special and don’t warrant outsized representation. I also believe only examples that strengthen and unify society should be promoted. I demand MY right to not be force fed the total opposite of the above. We are not powerless and have the RIGHT to exercise a proper and ethical response: BOYCOTT.

Thought he wants to place a sticker.
This is absolutely one of the ways to fight back. Gov does what it wants, so we'll do what we have to. To anyone who thinks this doesn't work.... they haven't replaced a bunch of cameras around my area because they kept taking them down by the next day.
While the screenshot isn't true (most ULEZ cameras are still up), climate change is as much of a scam as scams can be. You don't fix the weather with more taxes and surveillance.
they cut the whole poles or sometimes just the camera arm or cables
When I see news like this I suspect it is like when faceb*ok no longer required your real name to sign up. They don’t need it anymore, they already know exactly who you are, the surveillance has evolved.
Yea I'm skeptical about updates like this cause it gives the people resisting a false sense of "we've won". It has the effect of them taking their foot off the gas (which is exactly what the controllers want)
There’s one that’s been cut down 3 times so far down the road for me. Love to see it. Become ungovernable
From what I've gathered it's neither completely true or false. Many cameras have been disabled, but not enough to make the whole country change course on the issue (yet) What I do like is that the response to this post on nostr was positive. I probably got more reactions to this than anything I've ever posted. Individuals and small groups can have a huge impact on world events. It's up to each of us to set the example we wish to see.
Only brain-dead retards don't understand the difference between a 15 minute city and a smart city. Cameras and fines have nothing to do with improving walkability or building public transport.
Nobody is trying to fix the weather with taxes. That's a pathetic straw man argument. Take that retarded shit back to Twitter, this is nostr not twitter
Resource extractors are disregarded human rights, people who want to reduce pollution that corporations are allowed to poison us with are trying to protect our right to clean air and clean water
Taxes are used as means of addressing the so called causes of 'climate change'. That's not a straw man, that's their policy. I noticed you ignored my point about surveillance. Installing cameras that monitor every passing vehicle and charge them per day to 'reduce emissions' when people are on the road out of necessity, is well within the scope of 'taxing to fix the climate'. Where's the straw man exactly?
I'm a cyclist (no license, no car) and I'm not convinced that climate change as it is being sold is real. Conflating the believe in it with being anti cyclists/people walking doesn't provide any value to any debate and just furthers the division. If I was you, I'd reconsider this approach.
Its a nice dream but unfortunately the cameras remain, and every car driven inside the M25 ring road gets checked. If you haven't logged on to TfL and registered your car, even if your car is compliant and doesn't need to pay any ULEZ charges, then you get fined. Any diesel cars older than 2016 are non-compliant which is why so many tradesmen are pissed. Godspeed to the Blade Runners. They're doing gods work, but for the sheer scale required to defeat this beast, it is not nearly enough.
That's a problem of corruption and democracies being unable to hold corporations accountable. The same democracies that think surveilling the civilian population is acceptable. Those corporations and the fake democracies are on one side ; the people are on the other side.
Thanks for the thorough rundown. Through several responses I realized the original message was overstated, but it's not beyond reach. The existence of tyranny relies on good men doing nothing to stop it.

I found it hilarious, without a reflection of my moral character. It doesn’t make want to go cheat with a hooker. This guy is married, and incredibly loyal. Just an anecdotal joke. Take what you will from it. Wasn’t intended to offend anyone.
No I do not on a personal level, but I was just saying that Mother Nature doesn’t care. She won’t hesitate to wipe us out with disease and destruction. We don’t own this planet and any planet. They own us. I will say accordingly to extinction theory; if we are the cause of the 6th great extinction, our own extinction, we might deserve it.
Then we can agree on a lot. I just think the state is a far bigger threat to both humanity and earth. Without states and their corruption, most things which harm the environment would have been solved long ago or never been avproblem to begin with. Two examples : oil and farming. If you want cleaner cars, then stop subsidizing oil and car companies - that only pays them **_not to_** innovate. In the US, we even had several decades of legal action specifically to shut down more efficient cars. If the state had simply not violated peoples' rights, there would be nothing to mandate and "fix." Farming is another absurd scapegoat, especially the livestock and monocultures. The way people farmed before industrialization was fine - possibly even good for the earth. Lyndon Johnson - an american president - literally told farmers to "get big or die" - which meant buy the seeds the government wanted, incorporate and play the financing game, plant monoculture, fertilize and spray, and all the rest. Our government then offered subsidized loans (less interest at taxpayers expense) only for farmers who planted specific monoculture crops, and then made that GMO shit when that came around. The whole thing is just corruption. And they'll say all kinds if stupid bullshit that amounts to, "look over there!" to keep people all worked up over the wrong things and never addressing the real problem - which is the government. Basically they create problems, including pollution, by being so corrupt, then use the crisis they created to give themselves more power. And more power comes at the expense of people's rights.
