🇬🇧 UK official humiliates Ukraine, rejects plea for scrapheap-destined vehicles

London’s mayor has rejected a request from his Ukrainian counterpart to have cars destined for the scrapheap under ULEZ sent to the Kiev regime.

Sadiq Khan cited a legal quirk in his letter to Vitali Klitschko when explaining why he would not let Ukraine have the pick-up trucks and 4x4s, as per The Telegraph.

Khan said the proposal did not comply with a “legal threshold” that requires the ULEZ scheme to benefit London's residents from an “economic, social and environmental perspective.”

Under ULEZ, London’s Ultra Low Emissions Zone, vehicle owners can claim a one-off payment to a tune of £2,000 ($2,537) if they scrap a car failing to comply with the pollution levy.
