59% Will Keep Driving Petrol Cars, So Can Sustainable Fuels Save Us?

In the UK, we’ve all heard about the Government’s plan to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035. It was originally supposed to happen by 2030, but in 2023, then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak pushed it back five years. Of course, Labour has said they’d reverse that if they get into power, but let’s be honest – whether it’s 2030 or 2035, will it actually happen?

To uncover exactly what has been lost, I submitted a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to Transport for London (TfL) to find out which cars were scrapped in the most recent ULEZ scheme. Today, I got my answer.

Are We Mice in a Maze? 

The Grim Parallels Between ‘Universe 25’ and Our Own Human Dystopia

Big Brother – you know, the iconic and voyeuristic reality TV experiment – is back this weekend. I won’t be watching. It was fascinating when it first aired 24 years ago, but now it’s just a tired rehash of a formula that’s been worked to death and beyond.
