an opening salvo in an effective conservative agenda: backing the private car, promoting cheap air travel and supporting the meat industry. Now that’s a real agenda for a great government
But do the Conservatives in government, central office, SpAds etc care about this? My impression is that most of them would rather be Lib Dem-ish and lose than to be a party of smaller government and win.
“second-rate modelling that assumes kids are lying down by the side of the road for half the day breathing in fumes....
Most of the supposed evidence pointing to the impact of livestock farming on climate change is, at best, creative and at worst simply vegan propaganda”
Interesting claims, but do you have any evidence to back them up?
The important benefit of ‘the car’ is the individual freedom that comes with greater mobility. It extends the range for working, schooling, living, leisure. I grew up in a village in the 1950s/60s where 99% were born, schooled, worked, shopped, married, and died within about two square miles. Lots of places like this - the original 15 minute villages/towns. Holidays were two or three day trips to the sea-side per year. This is why they want rid of the car, to trap us in ghettos. The ‘beauty’ of ghettos, is those who rule only need guard the perimeter to control what and who goes in, what and who comes out. What happens inside they don’t have to worry about. The Nazis dud thus to the Jews in the 30s/40s.

Outstanding! Please stand in my constituency.
The country is crying out for this message of hope and common sense.
