Britain is in decline, it is losing relevance and respect abroad. Brexit has been an important factor in this. It is delusional to think that Britain could be world leader in anything. Certainly not in common sense. Britain's importance in the world is a thing of the past.

That is, Net for the privileged and Zero for the rest of us!!!!!

It's all unravelling.

It isn't just changing the way we live to save the world, it's also about saving our neighbourhoods. Cleaner cars mean less particulate emissions in busy streets, especially those that pass by schools, hospitals and elder care facilities. Ann may remember the coal-generated pea souper fogs in London that my history teacher used to speak of. She'd walk from the training college back to her lodgings, and her headscarf and glasses were covered in a film of grime from the sooty air. That ended with changes to the rules around coal burning in the city. The beneficial effects of lowering emissions are local as well as global.

As we move closer to 2030 the manufacturers are obligated to sell less ICE cars by percentage. If they exceed that limit they will be fined per vehicle a significant amount….so many who wait until 2029 will be disappointed or pay a huge levy.
