Let's add some information, especially around the CAZ in Greater Manchester (GM) and why I fully believe he will push for the removal and banning of all personal transport aside from public transport, by introduction of CAZ's and ULEZ across the whole country!

In 2020 Burnham was told by the Conservatives to implement a CAZ (Clean Air Zone) in Salford Quays and the City Centre, ONLY the city centre and Salford Quays.

Realising he could make money from it to use for what ever he wanted in Manchester, he went to the regional mayors and council leaders of all the areas under the "Greater Manchester" banner, pulled them all into a meeting and told them he had a plan, that plan was to install cameras for number recognition etc basically the same as the ULEZ cameras, these would be installed at every boundary line for GM, on every road to make sure there was no escape.

I know this because I saw the orders go into a few companies about installing Fibre in the ground to the areas where the cameras were to be installed.


After blowing the initial iirc £100m he was given, he went back to the Conservatives demanding more money for everything that was needed to implement his plan.

When they told him to "jog on, you have expanded beyond the requested scope, so no money for you", he then came out saying "I didn't want this, they are forcing my hands" and suspended it.

Here is the problem with his public statements though, he instructed his communications teams to send letters, leaflets and more to all medium and large businesses in the GM area that he saw fit to, and instructed them to inform their staff that he was going to "make sure it got implemented and that everyone would have to pay" and his reason behind it was "public transport is more important and needs funding".


Multiple companies told him they would pull their offices out of Manchester because of the CAZ, because whilst publicly he was saying "Personal" cars would not be affected, in the documentation he had sent out, it said "anything with larger than a 1.0L engine will be charged up to £18 per day each way depending on engine size for personal vehicles, business vehicles will be charged based on weight and physical size up to £60 per day each way".

For some people that would have been £36 just to drive to work each day, £720 a month!! all to try and force people into using the busses and trains.

He get's in as PM and you watch how quickly he starts to remove basic freedoms beyond what this already dictatorship of a government have removed.


Also let's not forget to add, his wife worked for a marketing company which had the company operating the Manchester public charging infrastructure as a client, which Burnham says "wasn't an issue" but since he was trying to force people to use the busses, trains, trams and ebikes, it was clearly a conflict of interest.

Also the money he gave to "people" to swap from Petrol and Diesel vehicles, some of which apparently cannot be "found" anywhere, so already sleaze and corruption is on the table, added to the lying, cheating and stealing he has done as Manchester Mayor.
