I work in London, as do many who live in Brighton and Hove.

Many commuters will be adversely affected when Ken Livingstone's central London congestion charge comes into force.

Since I have no way of getting to the areas I need to be in on public transport with all the tools of my trade, the charge is more like a tax.

It is the thin end of a very large wedge - a fiver in a relatively small area of London today will be £15 in many cities across the UK tomorrow.

Anybody interested in opposing this unfair and unjust tax may like to attend a public meeting at the Cambridge Theatre in London next Monday at 7pm.
