More misery for drivers as Sadiq Khan could charge £4 for motorists to use a UK tunnel

Drivers might have to pay £4 to use Blackwall Tunnel, road signs suggest, as London Mayor Sadiq Khan confirmed the route will be tolled.

Signs submitted by Transport for London (TfL) for approval from the Government suggest that cars could be hit with a £4 charge, while other vehicles could face an £8.50 fee, reported The Telegraph .

TfL has emphasised that no fee has been finalised and any times and costs included within the submission were indicative while it seeks approval for the signs from the Department of Transport.

The development comes after the Mayor of London confirmed that Blackwall Tunnel will be tolled by 2025, alongside the Silvertown Tunnel, London’s newest tunnel under the Thames.

In an interview with the Evening Standard, Mr Khan said: “There’s nothing sudden about it.

“The intention is for both the Silvertown Tunnel and the Blackwall Tunnel to be tolled.

“What we don’t want to see is displacement as a consequence of one being tolled and not the other.”

The fee adds to the number of charges faced by drivers in the capital, which also include the Congestion and ultra-low emission zone (ULEZ) charges.

A document, which included examples of signage for the tolls, was signed off earlier this year by Mark Harper, the Transport Secretary.

It included draft signs sent to the Transport Secretary for sign-off, suggesting vehicles would be charged between 6am and 10pm, with cars facing a £4 charge, motorcycles £3.50, and other vehicles £8.50. Drivers will be charged for each crossing, rather than a return fee.

A TfL spokesman said: “In order to obtain necessary approvals for the new road signage required for the Silvertown Tunnel, a submission for the potential signs has been made to the DfT.

“The final charges will be made ahead of the Silvertown Tunnel opening in 2025 once further modelling, including assessments on concessions, are completed.”

The Blackwall Tunnel is one of just a handful of crossings in east London. The only other east London crossing is the Woolwich Ferry.

Snapchat warning as iOS 11 loophole lets you SECRETLY record other people’s snaps

September 22, 2017 by www.mirror.co.uk Leave a Comment

Snapchat users may want to be careful over the kinds of things they share after a new loophole was found in Apple’s new operating system.

The latest version of iOS rolled out to iPhones in the UK this week and it appears to let users secretly record other people’s snaps.

That’s because there’s a new screen record function included on the system that can be used to capture what your iPhone is displaying.

Until now, the only way to capture a snap was to take a screengrab – something that the sender would be alerted to.

It’s generally considered poor etiquette to record someone’s snap but now there’s a way to do it without other users realising. In some cases, users were notified but it doesn’t appear to be consistent.

According to the Telegraph , Snapchat is aware of the issue and is working to fix it. The social network’s latest version (10.17.5) built on iOS 11, will notify users if screen recording is being used – but it requires both sender and receiver to be updated to the latest version.

Of course, the feature also lets you record other apps like WhatsApp, Facetime and Skype.

Snapchat found success with self-deleting photos and videos, allowing users to post things they know won’t be recorded permanently.

The feature has been copied by other social services, including Facebook and Instagram.

Despite the competition, Snapchat is a popular social network among young people and has an estimated 173 million daily users worldwide with 10 million here in the UK.

It recently introduced the controversial Snap Map and made its Spectacles gadget available to buy in the UK .

Secretive Dem donor network moves to aid Biden by kneecapping 2024 third-party efforts

Talk radio host Stacey Washington breaks down the potential impact of a third party ticket on the Biden campaign and reacts to actress Sara Foster slamming California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

A secretive network of the nation’s wealthiest Democrat donors has moved to undercut attempts to get a third-party presidential challenger on the 2024 ballot in an effort to aid President Biden.

The Democracy Alliance, the left’s premiere big-money donor club, recently held private discussions with left-wing organizations to prevent likely donors from contributing money to No Labels, a bi-partisan organization pushing for an independent presidential candidate, Politico reported.

“No Labels has no chance of winning the 2024 election. But it has a very real chance of tipping that election to Donald Trump and catapulting our country into MAGA authoritarianism,” Democracy Alliance President Pamela Shifman told Politico. “They want to splinter the coalition of voters who banded together to defeat Donald Trump in 2020.”

According to the publication, the Democracy Alliance held a Zoom call last week with progressive groups MoveOn and Third Way, where they zeroed in on No Labels and presented data showing how it is not realistic for a third-party candidate to win the election.

The meeting’s goal, Politico said, was to “sound the alarm” for Democratic donors and fundraisers, so they could move to stop other contributors they know from giving to No Labels to prevent a situation that they believe will benefit the Republican presidential candidate and hurt President Biden’s re-election efforts.

“The Democracy Alliance is wrapping itself in the flag of protecting democracy, but they are in fact subverting it by trying to keep No Labels off the ballot,” former Democrat Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, director of ballot integrity at No Labels, told Fox News Digital.

“People talk a lot about voting as a right protected in our Constitution,” Nixon said. “But so is getting on the ballot. Anyone is allowed to compete for the support of American voters, and no one should be standing in the way of that.”

The Democracy Alliance, founded in 2005, is a covert group of wealthy Democrat donors that helps drive the progressive agenda and counts George Soros as a known member. Since its inception, the club has been instrumental in moving enormous sums to left-wing causes and organizations and propping up its pipelines and infrastructure.

The deep-pocketed coalition typically holds two conferences each year to map out its upcoming agenda. The gatherings include powerful politicians and representatives from liberal activist groups that drive the causes they fund on the national and state levels.

In December, Vice President Kamala Harris appeared at an event hosted by the shadowy donor group to speak ahead of their four-day conference.

Harris’s appearance, however, was not her first encounter with the alliance. In 2017, then-Sen. Harris recorded a “special videotaped message” for attendees introducing “A talk with George Soros” at their retreat in Carlsbad, California, the Washington Free Beacon reported. In 2021, Harris prerecorded remarks for its fall virtual summit.

Democracy Alliance members must donate hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to groups vetted and approved by the coalition.

The alliance has supported over 150 organizations, ranging from the more well-known Media Matters for America, Center for American Progress, and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington to the Center for Popular Democracy and the Center for Community Change.

The Democracy Alliance did not respond to a request for comment.

Biden’s Dog Commander Reportedly Bites Another Secret Service Agent In 11th Known Incident

September 26, 2023 by dailycaller.com Leave a Comment

President Joe Biden’s two-year-old dog, Commander, has reportedly bitten yet another Secret Service agent at the White House Monday evening, marking the eleventh such incident.

The Secret Service chief of communications broke the news to CNN by telling them that a “Secret Service Uniformed Division police officer came in contact with a First Family pet and was bitten” and that the “officer was treated by medical personnel on complex.” The spokesperson said the officer is not seriously injured, the outlet noted.

Last November, Commander, a German Shepherd, attacked another Secret Service agent, resulting in the agent being hospitalized, CNN reported. Only weeks after that incident, the dog broke the skin on the hand and arm of another Secret Service agent after Biden unleashed Commander after a family movie night, the New York Post reported .

A month after that Commander attacked a security technician at Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware, home, the Post noted.

Biden’s other dog, Major, also had a history of attacking Secret Service agents, per the Post .

A former Secret Service agent told CNN that Commander had become a “workplace safety issue” for the agency.

“One time you can say it’s an accident, but now multiple incidents, it’s a serious issue,” the same former agent told CNN.
