  1. Great conspiracy theory: It was started by someone from a petrochemical company to discredit EVs. After all, petro chem runs the world.

  2. ​ @kerrybayton2954 She just sold off all the countries assets to foreigners and made it easy to employ cheap labour from anywhere.

  3. We might not like how it is spent but not paying might only make things worse. Changing the council is the only answer.

  4. Do I detect jealousy?

  5. It's about time they had automated driverless taxis so you don't have to listen to cabbies telling you how they saved the world etc.

  6. @iociccio936 No, it is something very different and insidious that is happening.

  7. Anyone who cares about an animated poo tube has a serious problem!

  8.  @MDyson151  And they do like to play with helpless animals, breaking the backs of mice and watching them struggle.

  9. The boss of border farce is the one responsible for all crimes committed by illegals.

  10. They don't "bring them over" as you put it but bring them ashore, just as they would your child if it drifted out to sea on an inflatable toy due to your stupidity. It is Border Force who need to be doing their job properly from out on the edge of British waters to either turn these people back or arrest them and lock them up.

  11. One thing that many people do not realise is that although coins may be "legal tender" they don't actually have any real value unlike notes. They ceased having genuine, tangible value when they stopped being made of silver or gold.

  13. And some of those TVs will be smart ones with cameras.

  14.  @toonarmy8524  At least on TV you can spot the lies and deception whereas on here, not only do you get the loonies spouting flat earth, religious and anti-science nonsense there are many skilled manipulators at work.

  16. Good old Maggie started the rot, selling (or rather giving away) our national resources to her friends who promptly sold them to the highest bidder at a huge profit. It's called capitalism in case anyone didn't know.

  17.  @mda5003  That is what I was thinking. I am surprised some paranoid have not done that already as they must have plenty for making their hats with.

  18. I have never believed a word that a cabby says since I had a number of local ones claiming to have saved the Falklands single handed while in the SAS.

  19. The UK used to produce fuel, maybe if it was state owned greed would not make prices too high.

  20.  @six7529  Most of the cost might be tax and the government might not spend it so wisely but they have to get it somewhere, specially now that so many people pay zero road tax. The problem with the oil companies and retailers is as someone else pointed out, that when oil prices start to go up pump prices shoot up but when they start to go down the pump prices lag behind. There is also another subtle issue. Oil tankers will often wait offshore to unload their cargo if it seems that they will get a better price by waiting which although it makes business sense does artificially inflate prices further.

  21.  @djgoode  That is how it should be, but as I have said, many EVs seem to be focused on higher than typical performance and extended range when most ordinary people really don't need either and that really jumps the price up and thus the potential depreciation.

  22.  @cornishhh  A latter day 2CV.

  23.  @djgoode  The big issue is that very many people could never dream of buying a new or even nearly new car and by the time an EV is affordable it will be close to it's end of life.

  24.  @djgoode  That can be the case, but most of my cars have cost less than 4k and my last two Shoguns were only around £1500 and lasted 3 or so years before I scrapped them and got about£400 back.

  25. You can tell the BMW or Audi drivers close to the limit by the fact they drive almost ok.

  26. Anything that stops scumbag chavs and pickies walking out without paying and all our new "guests" as well can only really be good. It also helps stops students dumping trolleys in the rivers, canals and sea.
