Masked ‘Thugs’ Protecting Ulez Cameras Accused of Attacking Locals
Security guards protecting London’s Low Emission Zone cameras face damning accusations of aggressive misconduct, identity concealment and refusal to show licenses. The Times has more.
Masked security “goons” hired to guard Sadiq Khan’s Low Emission Zone cameras have been accused of assaulting and intimidating locals.
Residents in suburban areas of London claimed the “heavies” had harassed them and refused to display their security licence cards when asked, as industry rules require.
The “thuggish” guards are dressed in dark clothing, and sometimes cover their faces with hoodies, balaclavas and surgical masks, while recording campaigners with body-worn CCTV cameras.
The Mayor of London’s political opponents, who have pledged to scrap the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (Ulez) scheme if they win at elections in May, branded the guards’ behaviour “disgusting”.
Heather Watt, 63, claims a security guard purposefully ran her over twice while she was protesting, leaving her walking with a crutch and unable to work. “They just drove at me,” she said. “They hit me off my feet onto the bonnet of their vehicle. I’ve come off the car, I’m hobbling away, with that the car sped up and hit me again into the side of the road.” …
Dyer, 47, added: “It seems like there is a directive for them to try and cause trouble. There have been assaults made by the security on the public that’s been caught on camera, they had taken people’s signs and thrown them away. They tell me I shouldn’t be here, but I’m 100 metres away from my house – it’s them who shouldn’t be here. It’s antagonistic.”
Transport for London said the security was necessary because anti-Ulez protesters had vandalised and stolen hundreds of cameras. It added that the security were held to high standards of professionalism, and had been told they should hide their face only if they feel intimidated by being closely filmed.

So once again, ”Worth reading in full” leads us to a paywall. Why does DS continue to do this when there’s a non-paywalled version of the same story available? Anyhoo, seems that Khant has just recruited some of the Jew-hating Hamasshole yobs, going by the pictures. That’s my bet anyway. They have the exact same demeanour too. Well they do make up his voter base so he wouldn’t have to look very hard would he? ”TfL said the security guards wore plain, dark clothes while on the job and were also allowed to wear hats. It refused to comment on the guards wearing balaclavas and masks but said the use of mobile camera vans will be reviewed continually to ensure the Ulez was being enforced effectively. A TfL spokesperson said: ‘Our security workers are directed not to wear face coverings unless they feel threatened by being closely filmed. ‘Wearing of medical masks is permitted. We will remind our contractors of the situations when they can be worn. They added: ‘We have hired a small number of qualified security staff who are suitably licensed by the Security Industry Authority, due to ongoing criminal damage to Ulez cameras and vehicles. ‘They are… Read more »
The way to get around paywalls, Mogs…https://archive.is/
Cheers, Aethelred. 🙂 Just narks me a bit why we can’t just use a source that already exists sans paywall really…
When it became bloody obvious that the dinghy imports were young fighting age men I repeatedly made the point that they were being brought in as an alternative army. I see no reason to change that opinion.
But wouldn’t we have heard something more definitive about that if it were the case by now? There’s no doubting that they’re all young men and juvenile males arriving, but if there were some sort of clandestine operation taking place, surely some information would have leaked or there’d be some eye witness accounts somewhere, but all we really have to go on presently are rumours and guesswork. I know you mentioned John O’Looney ages back but I’ve not heard anything from him in a long while. I’m not saying it’s not a possibility but we need something more to go on than just theories. If all of these young guys were being trained up for something it’d all have to be being done in top secret, right under our noses, and these men wouldn’t have the opportunity to be going out and committing the crimes they do, and we have the evidence for this. This would also be an ideal opportunity for some secret intel to be leaked; if one of them committed a crime and it came out that he was here as part of some government initiative to be trained up for some operation. But with the lack… Read more »
Your point of view is more than plausible Mogs. I still see malicious intent behind the import of the dinghy hordes.
“security were held to high standards of professionalism, and had been told they should hide their face only if they feel intimidated by being closely filmed.”
Ah, so “high-standard” “professional” security are so easily intimidated that they don’t like close-ups from a camera. Hmm. Nothing to hide, obviously.
My feeling is that, with the sole exception of the Bladerunners, whenever anybody dons a mask they turn into an absolute arsehole. Yes, ‘bare-cheeked’ arseholes are still ten a penny, but there’s something about the transformation that takes place in a person’s character that emboldens them to behave in a seriously anti-social and hostile manner. The evidence of this is all over the internet, in footage on social media, for all to see. I have literally yet to see, during any type of protest or crowd gathering, people on the *right* side ( that’d be the decent, reasonable folk ) wearing masks. No matter the context it is always the screaming banshee, aggressive lunatics that get up to no good and in people’s faces who wear a face covering. We need the input of Dr Sidley on this observation, STAT! 😮
If I see men, especially young men, anywhere near me, individually or in a group, and their faces are covered in some way, I consider my options and expect trouble.
Well that’s it. 1) They’re mentally ill, or 2) They’re up to no good. That’s my thought process anyway. Fortunately I’m seeing zero masktards round my way.
Ditto.
They either have something to hide, or are about to something they should not be doing, or they are trying to look hard and may be easily triggered.
Or they could be feeling intimidated, since that seems to be an acceptable reason for hiding one’s face according to the Mayor of London 😉
Leaving these “security guards” aside, if someone feels intimidated on the street and wears a mask it tells me they are possibly edgy and likely to kick off – steer clear.
Well, Khan’s performance when being held to account for his actions and their outcomes particularly his refusal to answer questions do not exactly inspire confidence in his motives or agenda.
A dump but an important one – the culling of the elderly in 2020. Paul Weston calls this mass murder. I might have used the same words myself occasionally.

I recommend that everyone reads this article. It’s a very succinct account of an absolutely horrific event.
Thanks RW.
“the security were held to high standards of professionalism, and had been told they should hide their face only if they feel intimidated by being closely filmed.”
Which is tantamount to saying – “this is your excuse, ‘I felt intimidated.’
A bit like saying they can do what they want.
Who decides ‘high standards of professionalism?”
“Masked security “goons” hired to guard Sadiq Khan’s Low Emission Zone cameras have been accused of assaulting and intimidating locals.”
As the ULEZ scheme was not asked for by the citizens of London and Khan is using thugs to protect his instruments of extortion this is looking like a very clever coup.
Also assuming the picture is of one of the actual “security guards”, it’s good to see that their high professional choice of mask is a horror mask designed to frighten and convey aggression. Quite appropriate really.
All the hallmarks of a fledgling totalitarian state. Impose some rules and then use the heavy mob to enforce them.
Surely these goons can’t guard every single camera? I mean the ones they can’t ‘protect;’ will be subject to things like wear and tear, unexplained tornados, meteors, Bermuda Triangle disappearances etc. And, out of scientific interest as I certainly wouldn’t suggest it or promote such behaviour, if someone smeared an epoxy resin over the lens surface, wouldn’t that make it all blurry?
And where is the money coming from to pay for Khan’s version of the NKVD?
No doubt the funds will come from ULEZ ‘fines’.
Beria would be so proud!
This is going down. Doesn’t make me happy because the world after won’t be any better than the world before but at least there is some resistance.
“…claims a security guard purposefully ran her over…”
‘deliberately’ or ‘on purpose’ – not “purposefully” (which means something quite different, although likely to be true of these fascist bastards)
The thing to do here is simply call 999. These are not proper licenced security people, they are threatening thugs. This is a criminal offence, and if Khan has hired them he should be in court. Security people are not allowed to hide their identity, in fact they have their license on the arm, if not they are thugs.
Oh if only that would work. The police if they arrived, would start on the locals. Thats where we are now. There will ultimately be a more ‘vigorous’ response to this stasi reincarnation.
Drip, drip, drip. I fear we may actually be on the verge of true anarchy.
The signs are there.
There will ultimately be a more ‘vigorous’ response to this stasi revival.
What then? Escalation becomes inevitable as more and more of the general population see and feel the effects of ALL the multi faceted crocks of sh1t surrounding them.
They will become more…’enthused’ and more inclined to start looking out for their own best interests.
How did that go with the original incarnation of the Stasi?
All part of much bigger malfeasant plan?
Are ‘they’ awakening a sleeping giant?
I know what I think.
Time will tell.
Employing mercenaries. I see the war is advancing towards the shooting stage.
