BREAKING: This is big news – EU hasn’t just delayed the petrol car brand, it’s scrapped it, but there are conditions…

Quietly, but significantly, the European Union has performed a major U-turn on its planned ban on new petrol and diesel car sales from 2035. And while some headlines are still framing this as a “delay” or a “watering down”, the reality is far more profound. In practical terms, the 2035 petrol car ban has been scrapped.

ULEZ Protest in London Today!

It wasn’t the protest we need, it’s probably the protest we deserve
