What about the folk who just can't afford a new, electric car? Quite a few people get through by buying cheap, second hand motors, they won't suddenly be able to afford £25000 for a milk float.

Like you said earlier in this thread Steve ,it's going to take years to roll this out , we are nowhere near out of one crisis & the "educated idiots" are planning more nonsense they really are bonkers..

I really had high hopes for Boris, but it strikes me he has become completely dismissive of constructive criticism and is losing touch with reality, just like a certain ex US president.

I'm worried about what it is he's trying to distract us from. There was just no need for this rush to 'greenness', especially when the UK emits such a tiny fraction of the world's greenhouse gases.

We can only hope that as the date gets ever closer and those in charge, (at the time), will realise that it's not achievable and postpone it. For ever.  ;D

Of course that will happen, Ronny. But Boris is not Donald just yet, and his own MPs should be telling him he's talking out of his arse. Or even just laughing in his face  ;D

In 2030 it'll probably be a Labour government and he's laying a huge trap for them, as they can't oppose the Green Industrial Revolution, but they'll have to implement it after winning the 2029 election.  ;)

Either that, Nigel Farage the President of England will cancel it all!  ;D

I don't know, Tigger. This notion of wokeness, greenness, racial equality, gender equality...do these things actually exist in the majority of the population? I don't believe half of the Westminster bubble buys into it. It is drummed into everyone from the telly and the press every day, and folk are scared to challenge it, but the people I know couldn't give a toss.

Not at the moment Uncle STEMO, but it's spreading as more and more people are brainwashed by the drip drip drip of propaganda!  ::)

I have 'woke' friends who get proper angry with me when I say the climate crisis is bullshit!  Thing is, I'm not even a climate denier, I just don't believe this Greta Thunberg crap that we'll all be dead in 10 years.  ::)

Well I'm not afraid to speak my mind on the subject but, of course, I'd just be dismissed as a stupid old dinosaur, out of touch with the 'modern' world.
Anyway, I'm getting all excitable, best go and have a nap.  ;D

'Heat pumps are the future, gas boilers are polluting and have had their day' said a man on the news. Underneath it said 'Joe Bloggs..Bloggs heat pumps Inc'  ;D

there will be a fair bit of pollution......
 generating the electric to run air source heat pumps  ,
retro fitting them ,
scrapping boilers,
 manufacturing the heat pumps,
 shipping them from Chinese Virus land ,
 replacing all the national grid to cope with the electric cars, heat pumps etc

The trouble is, how can you challenge it?

The media won't report it, certainly not in anything vaguely identifiable as balanced.

Taking to social media will only be dismissed as right wing extremism.

Even taking the lead from Guido would leave us with the Civil Service running the shit show...

Clearly the whole world has gone insane  :'(
