This is the moment Sadiq Khan is blasted as a 'conman' over his plans to expand London's ultra-low emissions zone (Ulez) as he was heckled by a lorry driver during a cost-of-living event.
The Mayor of London's decision to push ahead with the controversial expansion to the whole of Greater London, despite families battling the cost-of-living crisis, has been met with widespread anger.
Mr Khan was sitting on stage with Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis to answer questions on the cost-of-living crisis at City Hall when security staff escorted 58-year-old lorry driver Angie Donnelly from the venue.
As she was taken from the hall, she shouted: 'You’re not a mayor, you're not a people person, you’re a conman.'
Speaking to ITV outside City Hall, she added: 'It's people that can't afford to live, that can't even afford to do their kids, they can't afford to dress them. Yet he [Mr Khan] wants to extend it [the Ulez]. Why?
She is understood to have been escorted from the venue after repeatedly slamming the expansion when members of the audience were given the opportunity to ask Mr Khan a question.
The plans, due to be introduced in late August, will see a £12.50 ($15) daily fee for vehicles that don't meet minimum emissions requirements.
But critics warn the scheme could hit emergency workers hard - such as nurses driving to hospitals for night shifts - as well tradespeople who need to take vans into the capital.

“Londoners receiving certain low-income or disability benefits can apply to the Mayor of London’s £110 million scrappage scheme. Eligible applicants could receive a payment to scrap their vehicle, or choose a lower payment plus one or two TfL Annual Bus & Tram passes worth more than the payment alone.”
“The ULEZ standards are:
Euro 3 for motorcycles, mopeds, motorised tricycles and quadricycles (L category)
Euro 4 (NOx) for petrol cars, vans, minibuses and other specialist vehicles
Euro 6 (NOx and PM) for diesel cars, vans and minibuses and other specialist vehicles”
“Euro 4 became mandatory for all new cars in 2005 and light vans in 2006
Euro 6 became mandatory for all new heavy duty engines for goods vehicles and buses from January 2014, September 2015 for cars and light vans, and September 2016 for larger vans up to and including 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight.”

You’re not supposed to challenge your One World masters. So I wonder what crime this lorry driver will be charged with. Maybe they’ll get her for breach of the peace. That might slow her down a little.
Cant believe a real Brit like Sadiq Khan got heckled
H1B Mayor
What could possibly go wrong
His real con is the part where he claims to be British
A real Khan man.
