I’ve just learned from the BBC that Edinburgh residents have rejected the council’s proposals for a so-called ‘congestion charge’ which would have seen Scots (and anyone else for that matter) who dares to live outside the Edinburgh boundary charged ?2 to enter their capital city. Almost 75% (74.4% to be precise) of voters were against the plans, in a humiliation for the controlling Labour group on the council, who spent a vast amount of public money on propaganda campaigns to try and get this through. As much as it might upset Labour councillors, Edinburgh residents obviously do not want any of Red Ken’s policies to go any further north than Watford.
