"London mayor Ken Livingstone today announced plans to raise the congestion charge to £25 for so-called 'Chelsea tractors'."
Beautiful. And there's more...
"Drivers of the least polluting cars will receive a reduction on the current £8 daily charge."
Tiered congestion charge, based on emission. Things like this are a joy to discover :)

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
Now this is what I call good news. The congestion charge may put some people off travelling into London, but not enough (walking through every day I admire the cyclists but curse the private car drivers, especially the ones in ridiculously large, flash cars).
£25 a day will hopefully discourage some users - it's certainly going to hit them more than the higher rate of car tax they have to pay.
