Nope, I'd argue that most of his core voters have access to a motability vehicle provided by a spurious invalidity claim
which by virtue of being <3 years old will be compliant diesel or otherwise. It won't affect his little postal voting mates at all. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Twitter is awash with footage of the "Bladerunners" fucking up ULEZ cameras. Political commentators are calling Genghis Khan every name under the sun and yet the police are yet to charge anyone with criminal damage and no libel cases have been made  ____________________ Royal Enfield Continental GT 535, Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Strictly speaking that's about the old LEZ signage. It would probably need someone to take out a specific case against ULEZ signage but it should be a slam-dunk to cite the previous case.
Genghis Khan's been thrown under the [TFL EV eco] bus by both his own party and the government.

Here's the interesting wrinkle with the ULEZ thing: a petrol bike must be certified to be under the NOX limit described by Euro 3...
and nothing else
So to get your bike compliant it only has to be under a generous 0.15g/km NOX which you might be able to manage even with a carburettor-based engine just by richening* the mixture. Will there be more CO/CO2, particulates, unburnt Hydrocarbons? The Great Khant cares not!
For perspective my old "eco diesel" was originally specified as generating 0.137g/km but would need to get down to 0.08g/km (Euro 6) to be compliant (along with the particulates.)
* Conversely leaning out the mixture leads to higher temperatures and more NOX production so ironically fuel efficiency = murdering asthmatic kittens. ____________________ Royal Enfield Continental GT 535, Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

You are clickbaiting. How a new zone is related to ULEZ as the title say?
As far the ULEZ goes its already in place.

I paid a place £170 ish and they tested my bike (1986, D-reg...inline 4 , 4 stroke, carbs of course) two weeks ago and it got a 0.13 reading, i.e passed.
I didnt mess about making it richer or anything, nor did it need a CAT fitted. Took 48 hours to register on Khans system and show up as compliant. ____________________ Gone: Yamaha DT50lc, Suzuki DR500, Suzuki A100, Kawasaki z250ltd, RD350YPVS, Suzuki DR Big, Kawasaki AR125, Kawasaki KMX200, Suzuki GS1000S, Katana 1100, GS550M, Suzuki RGV250

yup...thats exactly it...nox is formed when temps are super high..the exhaust gas exiting can actually burn the atmosphere around it too....lower temps=almost no nox....more fuel, more oil etc=lower burn temps.
so carbs are easier to pass...2strokes are easier to pass etc.
weirdly, anything approaching the modern era that isnt complaint already= more difficult to pass, e.g. early fuel injected bikes and so on. ____________________ Gone: Yamaha DT50lc, Suzuki DR500, Suzuki A100, Kawasaki z250ltd, RD350YPVS, Suzuki DR Big, Kawasaki AR125, Kawasaki KMX200, Suzuki GS1000S, Katana 1100, GS550M, Suzuki RGV250

Ulez: 510 camera-related crimes in five months, says Met Police
I doubt we have had so much active actions against something probably since the poll tax. Yes, we have people sticking themselves to roads and throwing cream pies at airline owners but actual vandalism that you can be sure will invoke the hardest possible sentence for any prosecuted offender is quite unsurpassed in UK modern era.
At least 510 Ulez cameras were stolen or vandalised between 1 April and the end of August this year, figures from the Metropolitan Police show.

Nope, AFAIK they're always mounted on new posts. ULEZ cameras are small, black, unmarked and often placed in such a way as to conceal their presence.
In contrast speed cameras have signs as you approach them and painted bright yellow. Apart from the occasional overgrown tree they aren't generally concealed from view.
Just to save a bit of digging through Google here's a map of the new zone and all the camera locations:
https://ulez.co.uk/ulez-camera-locations/
Given it would be prohibitively expensive to put up cameras everywhere (even without half of them being chopped down) it looks feasible to plot a route to all sorts of places and avoid the cameras entirely. But watch out! TFL have mobile detector vans, 20 of them apparently for the whole of Greater London  ____________________ Royal Enfield Continental GT 535, Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
