Doesn't it concern you that this announcement has united environmentalists and the car industry in unison in saying it's crap? He's also announced an end to a policy that never existed to begin with, a meat tax. Those two things should be a red flag to anyone regardless of political belief.
It's almost cute to see how some people are lied to that easily the car industry used the green lobby and is continuing to do so, if they weren't they would have come with green alternatives in the 2000's instead they scammed their costumers with ''clean diesels'' the same clean diesels that now are banned from town London etc.
And as an reward for scamming their costumers the car industry gets to do it again.
Please don't repeat the bullshit lie that there are no alternatives, there are, Diesel there is an 100% plant based diesel alternative that not only solves or problem of used palm oil(note the word used, if that is depleted it can be replaced with something else) which makes diesel emisions up to 80% cleaner. (and is at current diesel prices cheaper too) But you can't get it anywhere unless your an Mcdonalds or other large company.
the car industries profits in two ways second hands cars got (much)more expensive their ''billion pounds'' investments in an far from mature technology have a guaranteed clientele as combustion engines will be banned.
It's also the same car industry that tried to block Tesla and killed off an perfectly fine EV in the late 90'' because they didn't like it's succes.
so they should not be trusted
