He told GB News: \u201cWhen I grew up it was Kent, but we got absorbed by Greater London. We are the furthest point from Central London. The ULEZ cameras are literally going in just down the road right next to my local pub.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe one that was put up isn’t there anymore but I can\u2019t condone that sort of behaviour.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere I live is not a wealthy area, it’s a rural area, it’s not a wealthy area. We might be an extreme example but what about all those people living in Kent and Surrey and Sussex and Essex and Hertfordshire? It’s going to hurt them as well.<\/p>\n
