UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has written an op-ed piece in The Sun promising “I will not sacrifice Great British industry to the drum-banging, finger-wagging Net Zero extremists”

Which means he’s willing to sacrifice all the industry to appease the fossil fuels industry.

    You can’t just make and sell cars as a superior mode of transportation and propose policy that effectively is net zero horses as human and cargo transport. Think of all the ferriers, oat farmers, and veterinarians that would put out of a job.

      If you proposed to ban horses in 1904 you’d get laughed out of parliament.

      Democratically elected politicians don’t have the ability to impose top-down policies opposed by the people who elected them.
