Rishi Sunak considering weakening key net zero policies https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66857551

Taking a look at how we get to net zero and doing away with arbitrary deadlines and meaningless commitments is sensible but it says everything about this useless government that even something that should be broadly applauded is being criticised in all sides.

Thankfully a senior politician has called out the Emperor’s New Clothes.

Carrying on with a ban on new ICE cars in 2030, some 5 years before anyone else in Europe, and way before the nation’s infrastructure is geared up to EV’s, would have been utterly irresponsible and would have condemned many families on low earnings to a life without a car.

It’s all tickety-boo for the 2-3 car family green washers of ROF to virtue signal to their hearts content, but please have some empathy for the rest of society?

 

Heh at boomer Marshall - with inherited wealth and untaxed property gains - talking about poor people

The idea of billionaire rishi doing anything for poor people is quite funny but it's funnier how Tory boomers like marshall are cucked by it 

arbitrary deadlines

Gammons can and do call any target date an "arbitrary deadline" though, in order to put off meaningful action indefinitely.  We need hard deadlines to avoid this, the sooner the better.

For the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever, a ban on new ICE cars from 2030 would not be an enormous burden for low income families, given that an average new ICE car from 2030 would have a lifespan until 2050 and low income families, unlike over-priviliged boomers who've had an easy life handed to them on a plate like Marsehole, do not buy new cars.

I’m no gammon threep and in any case a deadline is an easy way for politicians to show they care without doing anything meaningful on their watch. Direct and tangible action now with a recognition that sorting things is multi-generational would be more useful than passing an arbitrary and unenforceable climate change law and then flying around the world telling everyone how brilliant you are.

Threepwood, even you should understand that the lower number of ICE cars around, the higher the 2nd value will be.

And just as important, lower income families also don’t have large driveways to accommodate EV charging points.

What are folks in high rise flower blocks supposed to do in the EV wonderland?

So he’s announced he’ll make a speech later, and obvs can see how the story goes for a few hours beforehand. Ford has no confidence in him. Fvcking Suella is on manoeuvres.

Your placement is over, Work Experience, go straight to Stanford, do not pass muster, do not collect a PM pension, get out of Britain, you do not represent its people, stop trying to kid us you’re doing us a favour by deigning to ‘go into politics’. Fvkc. Off.

Where did I say he wasn't British? There are plenty of other people like him who are British but don't put its best interests first.

I think it's brilliant, actually. Perfectly sums up his over-keen, smarmy, boyish personality. And the fact that he's about 4'6". 

That's as maybe but on what basis would you get him out of Britain if he's British? You know full well the context of "Send em all back to where they came from" racism directed at Britiah Asians. It's frankly disgusting and you should know better. There's enough to criticise him for without that kind of shit.
