Oh get over yourself, you're just cross because many of your assertions turned out to have no basis in truth....


'Most of us can only afford one car' NER 7m 'second' cars in the UK.


'unless they can [] roll out a huge number of charging stations... battery powered cars are going to struggle' NER even the 100 mile Leaf would only need charging once a week on average


'Because current PCs and TVs are fit for purpose. This car is not.' NER it's purpose is a city runabout for which it is manifestly fit


I don't know where you get the 'insult' thing from. Describing something that's snide is not an insult. Describing someone's attitude as 'daft' is hardly reaching a new heights of profanity.


The fact is Jeremy, mate, is that all the abuse is coming from you.


You even use 'Google' like an insult, as if exploring facts was something to be scornful of. You really think that elevates you to being some authority on balanced debating skills?


*shakes head*

I really hope electric (whether battery or hydrogen cell) cars take off, and I do think they will. But I (along with many others) won't be buying a battery powered car until there are plentiful charging points - or of course I have a house with a driveway. The range needs to be enough to visit friends and family, and the price needs to be affordable.


I don't think that is selfish, these are just realistic requirements in my eyes. I really don't have any desire to go round in circles again, while you repeat the length of the average car journey!



I don't know where you get the 'insult' thing from... nothing further to add on that one either.

    • Both notoriously “lovely” people to spend any time with or worse, serve 
    • No, just no.  Zero tolerance does not mean we expect zero crime but that we do not accept a standard level as normal and unavoidable. For those who have suffered such “minor” crimes, myself included having had my house broken into,  it is clear from the lack of action that they are considered “acceptable”’. Once small crimes become known to be ignored, it changes where and how we live.     
    • Lloyd Weber and Cilla Black were supposed to leave when Blair got in, but didn't
    • You can't have zero tolerance unless you live in a fascist/police state.  Sadly it is something you have to accept in a democracy.  There has always been crime, even in North Korea, the Soviet bloc, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge etc.   The discussion point is how big a police force we need and capabilities, punishment, and building communities.  And how much we are prepared to pay in extra taxation. Even in the good (economic) times there is crime.  And crime under both Labour and Tory governments. I do not accept that phone thefts and parcel thefts are just statistics.  Police have to prioritise what they do, we might not agree with it.  And most criminals are multi-tasking, moving to where the best return is considering the risk of being caught. And there has to be a market, someone somewhere needs to buy a stolen product (I never buy off Gumtree). A starting point would be to decriminalise all illegal drugs, but that is definitely for a separate Lounge conversation, interesting discussion paper here: https://kar.kent.ac.uk/105520/1/A. Stevens - In defence of the decriminalisation of drug possession in the uk - PPDF.pdf Did you watch any of the series of Peaky Blinders?  This was a very popular series that glorified gang crime and violence.  Funny (ironic) that may enjoy films and TV that does this.  Although only the first series had any historical accuracy in it,  Criminal gangs were around before and ever since.
