Well if acceration is your thing buy a very expensive EV Land Rover . This is merely another “ let them ear cake ‘ bullshit by another net zero zealot . The reality is that most EVs bought WILL be comparably cheap ones . Thats why I posted a reasonable example and you posted one from planet Zany . A reasonably priced non turbo manual petrol car will outlast an EV , will out range an EV , will be more comfortable on a long runand will be a far better buy for everyone who doesnt have a home charger. Iirc EVs tend to have higher Insurance premiums but I may be wrong Which probably explains why you swerved EVs and bought a hybrid . im still waiting to hear how the good people of planet zany plan to charge the EV family car of the mac Innes family from their top floor 6 th storey flat in cowcaddens off Glasgow city centre? ...but hey , why let all these little impracticalities get in the way the way of saving the universe from mother natures natural variation in weather? You know , I was always convinced climate change was a natural event presented as a problem that needed a solution . Now im convinced it's all Sharon with the big tits fault at number 47 for dropping her kids off at school in the four by four. After having consulted zany from the planet zogg , ive therefore come to the conclusion I need to sell the family diesel , rip out the gas boiler , and spend the rest of my life wrapped in an old itchy army blanket for warmth and comfort dining on bread and water for the good of the universe. im feeling positively self righteous about my decision . Yes the inhabitants of planet Zany who support EVs right up to the point of buying one . Who post an example EV that few could afford to refute an example that most can afford. They purposely ignore reality and wonder why they are mocked . |

Bullshit . I live in a village and every house build in parcels of land has been expensive and for good reason . They are expensive to build and aimed at the more wealthy house buyer. The more ‘ affordable’ houses are on large building sites around market towns and larger villages . That changed years back when there were more 700+k houses than people wanting them. Zoom in on any village on Google and see how many properties appear behind existing ones, how many new closes squeeze between houses on the high st. No it didn’t . Affordable houses are built on larger building sites not pockets of land around farms . |

That’s what happens in the real world not planet Zany. Pockets of land in country villages usually have bungalows built on them that go for a premium. Families will go for cheaper properties outside of towns . For reasons that are bleeding obvious . The reason bungalows are sold at a premium is because there are so few of them left. All those ones that were built on half an acre back in the days when the country had a population of 50m are bought by developers. To the point now that when the old and infirm wish to lose their stairs, they can't get a bungalow for a decent price. There were two in Over (next village to ours) that sat derelict for nigh 20 years because a builder bought them but the planning office wouldn't pass plans to build 5 houses on the site.  So what? Pockets of land around my village tend to have higher value houses built on them . The more affordable houses are built on lager sites around towns . Don’t pretend it’s different where you live ( unless you actually live in planet zany ) |

No need if the tank can be filled in a couple of minutes . ICE cars usually have good acceleration and for what I’ve seen an EV with a similar price to an ICE vehicle hasn’t got great acceleration. But please post some shit about how fast top of the range Tesla’s are . Evs do not run on petrol . No wonder you bought a hybrid. Nissan leaf £32000 . Up to ( ffs) 168 miles . 0-60 7.4. Seconds Ford Puma St £32000 0-60 6.7 seconds . Range..indefinite . The Puma is a much better car than the shitty old leaf ..and that’s including acceration. And EV land rover can out accelerate a Maserati. No one ever boasted they bought a cheap ICE car with great acceleration. They boasted its 0 to 60. EV wins that hands down. And people compared MPG or should it be MP£ now, miles per £, Ev rinses ICE again. The only thing the luddites have left is charging time and that's becoming irrelevant as EV's pass the 500mile mark on a single charge. Sure it mattered when EV's did 120 miles on a bad day, but that's history. Well if acceration is your thing buy a very expensive EV Land Rover . This is merely another “ let them ear cake ‘ bullshit by another net zero zealot . The reality is that most EVs bought WILL be comparably cheap ones . Thats why I posted a reasonable example and you posted one from planet Zany .

You've already asked me that, and I replied on the penultimate post on page 37. Fwiw, I agree that the low birth rate in this country is a big issue and worthy of a separate thread. I also agree to much of the responses to my initial point. Unfortunately Dan and Bently had to make it about skin colour, which it isn't, bloody typical of this forum. You also mistake me for a Labour supporter yet again. Are you sure that you don't have reading difficulties because I'm constantly explaining my political compass to you, but you don't seem to get it. It seems that most people on this forum - I do not include you in this - are thickoes and idiots, or simply people with twisted feelings of malice who come here to nurture or express hate, or both. A forum where an intellectual giant like jonksy is taken seriously. I tried to come back because I have no truck with the rival forum for personal reasons, but if this site is the only alternative i'd rather give up on politics forums altogether. There is just too much ignorance and hate and not enough intelligent debate around here. This forum is too often a depressing experience. I dont need it in my life anymore. Maybe you should go back to the other forum then . Oh no , they made you cry and run away ,didn’t they ? |

Ok it’s back to the US. We can still be friends with the EU though. Bentley, stop being naive. The EU don't work like that, the UK must be punished for Brexit, and Starmer probably agrees with that. Oh no . It’s back to China again . |

Nope. Your claim that “EVs ARE a better buy now than ICE cars,” was stupid …because it was obviously wrong. Are you still on about the batteries being bad, or is there some other characteristic that makes you hate them? Some people claim they are too heavy. I think that would be a bit subjective though. No. I’m on about you posting bullshit . |

It has to be a leftie who can’t see I’m joking . Joke? I saw you change your mind because Rackham told you to. The shame was you were right originally, we are always going to do more trade with our neighbours than the US. Nah .You are just a leftie suffering from trumpitis ……….or it could be Reds natural leadership. 😁 |

So the EU it is then . We can still be friends with the US hopefully. You're kidding! Jesus, unlike EU states we are free to strike trade deals with whoever we want. I sincerely hope Starmer remembers that although he is pro EU, he is not obliged to accept EU trade rules. Ok it’s back to the US. We can still be friends with the EU though. |
