When the Congestion Charge was mooted there was a concerted effort by the extreme petrolhead lobby against it. The Evening Standard joined in- Londoners would be in gridlock, they predicted, house prices would collapse, crime would be rampant, blah blah blah. None of that happened, but because traffic light sequences were scheduled to be altered before Ken was even elected he got the blame for a silly vast conspiracy.
Ken disrupting traffic lights before the charge is an urban myth, he did no such thing.
