Boris Johnson.
I can’t believe I voted for this Monumental cunt. I did so thinking that at last we’d have a resolute strong leader….
And now it seems after being told by his girlfriend that she runs the country and dictates policy he has now announced he’s going to be a more softly softly green Liberal cunt…
Words fucking fail me

Boris and his ship of fools.
Pandemic raging.
Economy tanking.
No 10 ripped apart by a collection of arseholes.
BLM bullshit overtaking common sense.
National identity under threat from woke revisionist idiots in education, parliament, councils, National fucking Trust and culture.
And what do they come up with?
Thinks. Hmmm. I know, let’s ban the internal combustion engine 10 years early. Never mind the rest. Never mind the practicalities. Destroying the petrochemical industry has to be a winner doesnt it? The hospitality sector will take up the slack. That’ll show the Chinks, Yanks, Indians and Russkis.
Words fucking fail me.
…and another, this time from Lord Helpuss
Financial Times ·
UK set to ban sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030.
Can it really be true? Has Boris gone berserk?
Bringing the ban on new petrol and diesel cars forward by a DECADE to 2030? And allowing hybrids for only 5 more years after that.
Could it be anything to do with him wanting to look good at the eco summit?
The implications of this decision will be very far reaching. The manufacturers have only 9 years to transform their production lines. At present they lose money on every electric vehicle they make which is made up by profits from petrol/diesel car sales. Range anxiety remains a huge problem. So is the infrastructure. Where is all that power going to come from?
Fuel tax raises billions in revenue. Electrics pay no road tax. How will the shortfall be made up? Roads have to be maintained whatever type of vehicle use them.
What about the HGVs which dominate our highways? What will they run on?
All this to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. But what will China and India be doing? The UK accounts for only 2% of emissions.
I realise that global warming is a massive threat to the planet. With Trump going nobody can deny this now. I just can’t see how reliance on electricity is going to work.
I’m not a great believer in conspiracies but I have a funny feeling that future governments, Tory or Labour, will do their best to edge motorists away from the internal combustion engine by increasing fuel tax excessively. The more success this has the greater the pressure will be to slap road fund licences on all vehicles. Thus a lot of the financial incentive to go electric will disappear.
Boris may be trying to steal thunder from Greta and the Greens but I fear it is too much much too soon.
And what about the environment? Cobalt and lithium mining is unsustainable. How long will the batteries last and how will they be disposed of?
I like the fact that I can fill up my old Jag in 5 minutes flat and drive as far as I wish. No need to plug in and wait for hours on end. What a bloody waste of time.
…and here’s another one from Lord Helpuss
The bloody greens. Already their spokesman Jonathan Barlett is complaining that 2030 is not good enough. Even a week next Tuesday wouldn’t suit him. He/they demand the removal of ALL cars from the roads. Fossil or electric. (We have a local who rides around in a pedal car – him too?)
And the Queen of Green Caroline Loocuss hasn’t got going yet.
Well it may be ok for these nutters to bike or train anywhere they need to go in the ever-so-gay urban cesspits like Brighton. You can’t park a car there as it is. But what about the rest of us? Take the car away and you take our personal freedom away too.
These are the loony-tunes whom bumbling Boris is trying to appease. They would return mankind to the dark ages – literally. Modern light bulbs are about as bright as a tiny candle.
Go Green and retreat to the first millennium.
There’s two possibilities here.
Either the real Bozo is really in support of TURDEAU and his cuck’s declared Agenda 2030 world domination and suppression fantasy, or we have a replacement for the real thing that’s been held captive since his ‘C-viral’ episode back earlier in the year.
Since March, I’ve never understood how the proportion of people in the ‘public eye’ having ‘CV’ is about 500% above looking around you in real life.

Nail on head Moggie-it’s easier to see the validity of these plans, from the top of their IVORY TOWERS.
Fucking cunts.
I imagine commercial vehicles will have exemption-net result, more smelly diesel vans on the roads 😂

Road ‘Tax’ will be £1000/yr per car, or ‘Electricity’ will be 5 x the current kwh rate.
The only way the lack of fossil fuel sales and petrol/diesel vehicle duty can be replaced to fill the tax coffers.
BTW, ‘electricity’ is currently largely generated by steam-turbines. The steam is created by burning ‘Gas’ to heat water. I don’t know how they think ‘wind’ & ‘solar’ will replace that. The sun doesn’t always shine / the wind does not blow consistently.
Oh, and who can afford these ‘electric cars’ ?
Manufacturers selling at a loss (that won’t last long) and they’re £38k anyhow !
Elelectric car batteries require rare precious metals – expensive & some also very hazardous, so it’s not really good news.
Hydrogen fuel cells must be the answer & this is where the focus should be. Keep current ‘combustion’ engine technology – just make the fuel cheap, readily available & clean burning.
H2O (water) = burn Hydrogen (clean) / by-product O2 (oxygen) 🙂

With all the tax hikes due to pay for this covid shites affect on the economy and the mass unemployment, people be lucky if they can afford a bicycle let alone a new electric car.

‘electric’ bicycle !
After the effects of ‘long covid’ have been properly examined, no-one will have the lung capacity to pedal a ‘push’ bike without falling over.
Asthma, wheezing, gasping for oxygen – Covid will be found to have damaged peoples lungs more than 10 lifetimes of diesel & electric cars exhaust omissions.
Utter fucking madness !
(ps, I bet a lot of MPs public school chums & the richest are buying shares/companies into ‘green’ technologies. Yet another example of the wealthiest using gov’t ‘public’ money as a bloody hole in the wall cash machine)
….. BASTARDS !
