The point of Brexit was that we could make friends with both. Hopefully Starmer will try that.

“ Will” being the operative word . It’s all conjecture and jam tomorrow . That’s why your claim that “EVs ARE a better buy now than ICE cars,” is false . It's easy to snipe, but a lot harder doing it. The grahene tech was a British development, and they have proved it. You should read some case studies on the history of technology. Like lasers have been around for a long time, but even today they find more and varied uses. Who would have thought in 1950 that they would be used for navigation in cars eh? Batteries and solar panels will continue to improve. ICE has been around for 150 years. It is about as optimised as it could ever be, and any improvements now are in your fraction of a percent range. The art of investment is knowing where to put your money. I know where i would put mine. Not in the euro car industry though. The MSM are consistently wrong on new tech. They snipe at smart meters, but 20 years on and they will be the norm, and people will say, oh gosh, I could never do with out it. It saves me a fortune. Pointing out your false claims isn’t sniping. |

Blame the ones who give them licence to do it . The government.
They are only doing it because they are allowed to.

No need if the tank can be filled in a couple of minutes . Solid state and graphene batteries will make charge times even faster. Charge too fast and the heat generated from internal resistance destroys the battery. With graphene it works almost as a superconductor. The other problem is the power of the charger. The 1km/s claim is from a Huwawei charger. They are water-cooled. They are being installed across China currently. We sanctioned the firm remember. “ Will” being the operative word . It’s all conjecture and jam tomorrow . That’s why your claim that “EVs ARE a better buy now than ICE cars,” is false . |

Then you don't live in a village. Hundreds of houses are squeezed into the village envelope because of the planning laws on the green belt. Every old bungalow that comes up for sale is knocked down and 3 houses built on the plot. Every house with a large enough back garden sells it as a building plot. That's not the case in our experience. Whenever a property comes up for sale here, which isn't often but when they do they're snapped up in days, sometimes the 'for sale' sign doesn't even go up, 'sold' signs go up straight away. According to estate agents bungalows are highly sought after, not for redevelopment, but because they're desirable, particularly for older people. Mrs R and I are in our 60's and I think we're the youngest in the close, which means it's nice and quiet. 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 . |

All is calm in Europe. Germany has so many wind turbines, enough to produce 70GW - when they are all being blown by the wind. They are currently producing 0.2GW (0.28% of capacity). As we rely on the European grid to top up our supply, we are having to run our gas power stations to produce 54% of our needs. That's nearly all foreign gas, of course, because this idiotic government won't allow us to drill for our own. Nut zero will cost lives. Don’t worry chaps . The solar and wind farms will take up the slack .🙄 |

For what I’ve seen housing estates are built as an extension of a village or town not in random patches of farmland that are not fit for crops. Thats probably because it’s easier to build 1000 houses on a single plot of land than on 100 random plots around villages. Then you don't live in a village. Hundreds of houses are squeezed into the village envelope because of the planning laws on the green belt. Every old bungalow that comes up for sale is knocked down and 3 houses built on the plot. Every house with a large enough back garden sells it as a building plot. 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 . |

I never assume as it makes an " ass of u and me ", guess work in other words, most of the Arable land in the UK was created over many years by farmers clearing the land, most of the UK was covered in forests many years ago, as for Fallow land normal farming practice to rest a field for a year or two for it to recover and absorb organic material then put back into food production The ones you state have been fallowed for 17 years the farmer or farmers that owns them have probably agreed to rewild them for a set payment from the Government each year, my Brother in Law is in the process of doing that here in Connemara as he is not as young as he used to be, its hard work climbing a Mountain three times a day to check his flock of sheep, he can manage his land lower down As for Sheep and Cattle on none arable land the land will only support so many each year, I am surrounded by small sheep farmers some may fatten up young bullocks if they have reasonable grazing to feed them, once they are older and bigger sold for meat that you and I can buy in Supermarkets, meat that has not been transported from thousands of miles away, good for the planet I know what fallow means I was raised helping on the farms in a small village. That why I stated never used. And No they are not rewilded because that involves a lot more than just letting it go these days. People and dogs have to be kept out, certain plants added, water sources provided and the whole thing managed before you get any money. These are fields that are too clay or gault to offer a decent crop, hence why they tend to be grouped. I wish your brother luck, the farmer friend I know has just given up applying after failing the third inspection.

How many 1000km range EVs are on the UK market TODAY that are around the price of a non turbo manual ICE vehicle. Maybe one thatcan be refuelled as fast as a petrol car. Use YouTube if your brain can’t manage any other method If range is your only measure. Do you buy all your cars according to the size of the fuel tank? People used to boast about acceleration. Oops. People used to look at MPG. Ooops. 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. |

Use YouTube if your brain can’t manage any other method Why can't you do your own research. It will explain on the site how fast charge times are. I've seen examples of 1km range per second of charge time. Not sure if they are the same batteries. There are many variants. They are like unicorns ..they don’t exist …except maybe between your ears . Your claim that “EVs ARE a better buy now than ICE cars,” was bullshit and you know it . |

That is just a proposal. There is not an EV that has the range of a ICE car . EV ranges vary on temperature and using heaters and air conditioning. Even if the super Chinese invent an EV with a longer range than an ICE car they would still take longer than an ICE car to refuel. But that wasn’t the claim iI was that they are around NOW. 1000km range is the furthest a standard production car will go. This is with CATL batteries. See the website for proof if your brain can read that far. How many 1000km range EVs are on the UK market TODAY that are around the price of a non turbo manual ICE vehicle.

She was a communist…wiki
“ Wilkinson joined the British Communist Party, and preached revolutionary socialism while seeking constitutional routes to political power through the Labour Party. She was elected Labour MP for Middlesbrough East in 1924, and supported the 1926 General Strike.”
Strange that lefties will dismiss a communist in the Labour Party and government yet become apoplectic if a fascist was/ is involved .

Taxes , lack of parts / fuel and outright banning ICE cars will be the only factor in EV sales rising above ICE cars …imo

Ah…YouTube. Who’d of thought it ? Well that is a pretty stupid reply to a comprehensive answer. I don't think you think a lot at all. It was the perfect reply. You can find any opinion of YouTube from one bat shit side of the spectrum to the other . Just pick and mix any dodgy video that agrees with your opinion and post it as fact. Then pretend that you have studied all sides and throw in some bollocks about mainstream being bias. It wasn’t comprehensive, it was a few rambling sentences of your opinion posted as fact. |

What social media are you using ? On YT you get people who support all the different political factions in the UK. I sample the views across the spectrum and had noticed a great number kicking off about this point. The channel I linked to is what you would call a lefty channel, but it is still worth listening to as it gives the other side to the argument, and I weigh it all up to see what the heck is going on in the UK. It's a better way than getting the constant curated opinion off the BBC, as a lot of people do.
The Clacton issue is also prominent on the other side, like your Reform voters and your Tommy Robinson lot. On balance I would say Farage has fucked it up. He has fucked it up in much the way Starmer has. You go around making out you are the second coming of Christ to your potential voters and then you take some liberties, your people hold you to a higher standard. This is why the wise man is humble.The wise man does not boast how smart he is. He will show that by his deeds. If Farage were truly smart he would have been over to Clacton from day one and would have rented a place out so he was there a lot of the time. He should have held a lot of meetings with the public and got to work locally etc etc. He needn't have then boasted about it, but if Sky News tried to ambush him in this case, then he would have the back up. This way, it would look more like "you punch me and I totally obliterate you" type of effect, since if he had the backup it would make Sky News look like the false one, accusing him of something which was unfair.
Ah…YouTube. Who’d of thought it ? |
