Electric cars can be totally impractical in streets of terraced houses, where residents often can't park outside their home. And councils worsen the situation by reducing parking space in these areas. bristolpost.co.uk/news/news-opin…

I don't know which is worse - Transport for London wasting taxpayers' money on ill-founded self congratulation or the BBC's promotion of this disgusting behaviour. In reality both these organisations have done significant damage to the UK. bbc.com/news/articles/…

They've created a vicious circle in which punitive taxes choke off growth, leading to higher borrowing and calls for even bigger tax hikes. The solution is big spending cuts combined with a bonfire of red tape - something Labour will never do. bbc.com/news/articles/…

It's almost as if the BBC propaganda machine is trying to make excuses for the HS2 debacle. In reality it was done deliberately to steal as much money as possible from taxpayers. bbc.com/news/articles/… #HS2

There's already sufficient capacity on existing lines for the envisaged increase in rail freight (which may not occur). Even if extra capacity were needed, it would be insane to waste tens of billions on high-speed rail to achieve this modest aim. theguardian.com/business/2025/… #HS2

This is a reminder not to trust the statistics coming out of international institutions. There are often bizarre and inexplicable changes in rankings from year to year, and it's suspected they demote countries out of favour with the globalist "elite". telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

Reductions in speed limits are particularly costly on major roads, but councils don't seem to care. Did the authorities responsible even bother to calculate the economic costs of slower journeys in this case? bbc.com/news/articles/…

The crackdown on cars and people's mobility has been decided outside democracy at a higher level. Councils are following orders from above, which is why they ignore public opposition to these policies. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…

The Welsh government is guilty of gross hypocrisy on disability. A high proportion of disabled people need to travel by car, so all the obstacles, delays and restrictions imposed on motoring have a disproportionate impact on them. leaderlive.co.uk/news/25325758.…

Millions more stolen from taxpayers to buy electric buses - which in many ways are inferior to the diesel ones they're replacing. busandcoachbuyer.com/28m-given-for-…

Tourism is now one of the main targets of the climate lockdowns agenda. telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…

Britain is effectively a one-party state with the agenda decided outside democracy at transnational level, then enforced by the elite's UK puppets. This is why Starmer has just accelerated disastrous policies already started under the fake-conservatives. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/1…

£3750 taxpayer funded gift for everybody buying a new EV. What happened to the black hole excuse used for not funding vital services?

Government expenditure on #HS2 is around a **million pounds per hour, every hour**. #1million #TheOneMillionPoundsPerHourRailway With HS2 crowding out other projects, Midland Main Line electrification has been 'paused' again. #DejaVu #HistoryRepeating

The Los Angeles to San Francisco high-speed rail line was supposed to cost $33billion and open in 2020. The budget has reportedly ballooned to $128billion with no end in sight. Sound familiar? theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j… #HS2

The airports have been forced to impose anti-driver policies by the government and local authorities. Freely operating businesses want to attract customers, not annoy them by making accessing their services more difficult and expensive. theguardian.com/money/2025/jul…
