Strange sightings of Batman and Robin have been occurring in London
Thousands of ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) cameras have been installed to record numberplates of offending older cars so their owners can be charged £12.50 for daring to drive a non-compliant car in London. This usually means any diesel car made before 2014 or a petrol car made before 2006, so the fines especially hurt low paid workers, students and retirees.
The two masked crusaders have been seen helping the local bat population by installing homes for them in front of ULEZ cameras. Since bats are a protected species (unlike motorists) once the bat boxes are installed they can not be tampered with nor disturbed by law. Batman and Robin helpfully also place legal notices on the poles so workers coming to fix the cameras know they risk a six month jail sentence or an “unlimited” fine if they so much as touch the bat box.
The bat boxes cost £10.
Bat roosts have legal protection:

The £10 animal homes have been spotted attached to ULEZ devices in Chessington, Kingston upon Thames and North Cheam. ULEZ opponents say they are “positively contributing to London’s biodiversity and ecosystem”. One said: ”I’m sure whoever is behind it is extremely grateful to TfL for providing the poles to house this protected species.”

The coolest thing you will see today…

Didn’t know that there was a Batman equation! And loved the end quote.
But I’m not sure what was gained by this.

Love it! Absolutely love it!!

Well done.

I’m puzzled. Is CO2 involved as an emission? I can understand S02 N02 particulate matter. Surely not CO2?

“So far, the central and inner London ULEZ contributed to:
Almost 50% reduction in toxic nitrogen dioxide pollution in central London.*
800,000 tonne reduction in carbon dioxide emissions between 2019 and 2022.
5 times faster reduction of pollution in London than the rest of the UK, between 2016 and 2020.”
______________________________________
But London with a population of 9,000,000 people has 3,000,000 tons of CO2 from breathing. 365kg CO2 per person per year at 1kg a day
Or 15 million tons of CO2 ‘pollution’ from human exhalation between 2016 and 2020. Not counting dogs, cats, birds.
That’s 20x the CO2 ‘reduction’ from ULEZ? Why bother?
And the NO2 is from old diesels, the preferred and in fact mandated form of transport for the inner city. Especially in France.

I think it’s about the money. It cannot be a war on carbon dioxide? Surely not? That’s a war on breathing.
Or is it a religious war? Revenge for the Crusades? Why did Londoners elect an extremist muslim Mayor? What did they expect?

And Khan is in the extremist style of Sir Ken Livingstone. It must be a product of the Labor party in big cities, as it is in so many. Despite the wealth of large cities, the local government is often extreme left. These days Green parties. And a tax on breathing would delight many on the destructive totalitarian left.

There’s no one despises the poor more than the self-made man…

You may have a point there: the Landed Gentry with their torn Kilts and old car can at least usually pay their Bills, it’s their grandchildren with no merit who are as bad as the self made Yuppies: No idea about Values– of any kind.

A War on Breathing”?
That is the plan,Stan.
As has been obvious from their words and deeds, the eco-nazis are a serious DEATH CULT
Population “right sizing” is the core objective.
A “Final Solution” in search of “problems”.
With LOTS of humiliation and degradation of the victims, (REAL PEOPLE), as part of the “process”.

Batman is a colonialist construct of Patriarchy.
Unless it was colonialist Patriarchy inhibiting him from expressing the true nature of his relationship with Robin.
Either way, colonialist hierarchical social structure forced him to marginalize the differently identifying Penguin.

He was bat crazy.

“What’s with the dark clothing Batman?”
“So I don’t get shot Robin”
“Then what’s with my bright clothing?”
“So I don’t get shot Robin”

It is curious that adult (particularly Cis male) millennials that have highly detailed knowledge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe …
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe
which is mostly fantasy Superheroes battling tyranny …
submit so easily to lockdowns, medical mandates, and censorship.

It is not “cis male”. It is male.
Don’t use their language.
You’re giving in to the mob.

The Bat Boxes need a little Simon Jester symbol on them.
Heinlein readers will get it.
