#TowerHamlets

I remember talking online to some Trump supporters in the US a few years back. They started ranting about Muslim-controlled, 'no-go areas' in the UK. When it turned out they were talking about little ol' Tower Hamlets, where I'd lived and worked for years (and still do), I thought that was pretty hilarious and put them straight. Can't believe this crap persists.

@urlyman I agree completely.. but think in the edges of ULEZ where pollution is not too bad, for many people the personal inconvenience and cost of expanding #ULEZ overshadows the real issues like #KnittingTheAir and appalling pollution and health problems many are dealing with. The people with non compliant cars complaining the most get a lot more airtime than the kids in the primary school in #TowerHamlets with bad asthma.
