When is the average person in fact a far right, anti-vax, covid denying Tory?
When they’re opposed to the expansion of Sadiq Khan’s ULEZ, of course. Khan held a ‘People’s Question Time’ at Ealing Town Hall and he was true to form.
“Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has described protesters rallying against the ultra-low emission zone expansion as far right, Covid deniers and Tories.”
…
Khan said: “What I find unacceptable is some of those who’ve got legitimate objections [about ULEZ] joining hands with some of those outside, who are part of a far-right group.” He added: “Let’s be frank, let’s call a spade a spade. Some of those outside are part of the far right. Some are Covid deniers, some are vaccine deniers and some are Tories.”

“He repeated the claim a second time, saying some opponents of ULEZ have legitimate reasons while others are in coalition with those denying Covid and the efficacy of vaccines as well as the far-right.
Mr Khan’s comments sparked a social media storm with the Labour mayor accused of labelling anyone who opposes ULEZ as far-right, Covid or vaccine deniers.
…
After Mr Khan’s comments, the volume of heckling inside the room grew to the point where the chair threatened to break up the meeting.
The Conservatives’ Deputy Leader at City Hall, Peter Fortune, took a shot at Mr Khan, saying: “If you disagree with the mayor he’s going to paint you as far-right.
“He is going to say you are a flat-Earther. He doesn’t want to address the fact you’ve got legitimate concerns.” Mr Hall went on to claim Mr Khan never talks about the financial impact of ULEZ on people, saying “the reality is he’s filling a financial hole in TfL” (Transport for London).”
