I’ve got news for those who say Brexit is a disaster: it isn’t. That’s why rejoining is just a pipe dream

RT by @john4brexit: COVID was not an indiscriminate killer.
Vast swathes of the population, including an overwhelming majority of the youngest in our society, were at almost zero risk.
Our lockdown response posed far more of a threat to their wellbeing than the virus itself.
Total madness.

RT by @john4brexit: I welcome the measures announced today to cut net migration. They are a step in the right direction.
But we need to be honest. This package is too late and the government can go further. 1/4

RT by @john4brexit: “Another one bites the dust” – Yet another EU trade deal falls apart.
Over 24 years of talks and once again the EU fails. And re-joining would mean all new UK trade deals would be nulled.

Mr Hunt shows his true colours. Brexit is delivering & we are outperforming the eu. But it would have come quicker had the ConRemainers not tried to constantly sabotage it & negotiated so badly - thanks to Cameron,May,Hammond,Hunt & Parliamentary Party

RT by @john4brexit: Some important points from this letter:
"The legislation will enforce an aggressive ramp up of electric vehicle use to 80 per cent of new car sales in 2030 – regardless of what people would prefer or could afford.'
'it would be wrong to “interfere so much in people’s way of life without a properly informed national debate”.'
'Many in the car industry do not regard this as a realistic aim, but the attempt to get there through legal coercion is likely to cause enormous harm.'
'If the cost of buying and running an EV will become cheaper than petrol and diesel cars, mandating them with this law is unnecessary.'
'This law is anti-consumer, anti-choice and anti-motorist, and will only leave the public poorer. Car-ownership could once again be restricted to the privileged few.”
'The letter says the Government “should not be in the business of picking winners”'
👏👏👏
The article adds:
'In September, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders .... called for “an attractive package of fiscal and other incentives ... that encourages drivers to switch now”.'
Well they would, wouldn't they.🙄
My thoughts on this:
Any increase in 'fiscal and other incentives' would just add to Government spending (already too high) and be a subsidy for an inefficient product when the UK doesn't have enough electricity to support this many EVs and the world doesn't have enough minerals to make EVs.
Let the market find a better battery technology while the government spends its time increasing the UKs reliable nuclear (or gas) electricity.

RT by @john4brexit: Lomborg: 'Many leaders have even gone so far as to promise net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Despite this likely being the single costliest policy ever promised by global politicians, it was made without a single peer-reviewed estimate of the full costs.'
