Flight MH17

Why are they so far away? There is logic to what you’re saying, according to this website Americans drive on average twice as far as Italians/Germans etc. so if you scale by that America is still slightly higher but not as bad.

You’re right, but I think the idea of Farage being in charge of pushing through any sorts of ideas (even if it’s reforms that are good) is making people uncomfortable, which is what could be read from your first comment.

I think people don’t like your suggestion/implication of Farage being the one pushing through reforms more than liking Tories.

Yeah it’s not quite as simple as I put in my comment

We also have national insurance and a tax free allowance, so the effective rate for someone at say £54k (about €62k) would be about 25% https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/tax-calculator/ I think I’ve worked that out right.

£125,140 a year you pay 45% income tax. But it’s not quite that simple because you don’t pay 45% on everything, just whatever is earned above that and the other thresholds https://www.gov.uk/income-tax-rates

Completely agree with you, it’s a problem and it’ll get worse until there’s new regulation on it, but hey at least the cities will be quieter as we cough up rubber and dust.

I think your concerns are valid, but on the whole electric vehicles have the potential to improve more than ICE vehicles https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/electric-cars/running/do-electric-vehicles-produce-more-tyre-and-brake-pollution-than-petrol-and/

The extra mass of current EVs probably (note I don’t know for sure) doesn’t cancel out their other benefits, and as battery tech (and tyre tech I guess) improves they’ll get better.

It’s a really good film from 1984 about nuclear war
