You'd think it was being introduced solely to inconvenience motorists
Isn't this the standard UK press argument against any changes to anything to do with roads?

There are people saying stuff like, ‘I have to scrap my car because it’s too polluting but if I pay £12.50 it’s no longer too polluting, it’s obviously a con/money raiser’.
Completely ignoring the fact that a theoretical £12.50 has changed their behaviour and stopped a car journey.

The coverage of this in the media has been completely lacking in context. The whole point of ULEZ is mentioned as a footnote, if it's mentioned at all. You'd think it was being introduced solely to inconvenience motorists, rather than because we're facing a massive health crisis.
