Sad, but true 😔

If it's the model I think it is, 230kw across 4 wheel drive, will accelerate 2+ tonnes of Beamer to
60 MPH in a little under 5.6 secs. Meanwhile your 20kg ebike is limited to 1/1000th that power and cuts out at 15.7mph because "safety"

And for the vast majority of people, expecting them to cycle such distances, twice daily, is simply never going to happen.
This is the result of successive governments, over many decades, expecting public transport to be profit-making, instead of a heavily subsidised, important public service.

In my previous job, I had a convo about reducing driving with a colleague, who lived nearish Bodmin, but worked in Redruth.
The ONLY way he could get to work by public transport involved traveling to Plymouth and staying overnight, which is ridiculous.
No wonder he drove to work.

...there's nothing wrong with disagreement. Few still loyal to labour (and that's a tiny number in itself now) are in that position from an intellectual basis. They're the red flag loyalists, all they've got left is abuse

Labour activists are gunning hard for green party supporters. And it is backfiring spectacularly, at least from ratios of likes and responses to my posts. It isn't convincing anyone, they're doing their cause massive harm...

Yes, that's probably the best strategy. He really is a rather odious character, isn't he? Insists everyone votes the same as he does, and has a little toddler-tantrum whenever they say no.

The alternative isn’t creating a new tax system from nothing in six weeks. It’s beging honest with the electorate that the European-style public services they demand requires European tax levels inconsistent with the 40 year-long taboo of not raising income tax.

Either be honest or fuck off.
