Yep, agreed bfyp. There will inevitably be a little less driving due to price, but people working from home post pandemic and the rise of electric car use will undoubtedly have had an effect.The use of petrol and diesel will probably continue to decrease in the coming years.
Completely lost me there, Glyn.No-one in their right mind is going to be generating electricity by burning oil.The low cost route to electricity generation is solar and wind, with reserve storage from batteries.Anyone looking to use oil will be bankrupt in next to no time.
So much for zero carbon, Kwarteng now asking coal fired power stations to stay online longer to protect our energy supply

johnson should stop with all the pretence and appoint Philip Green or someone similar.
And still Labour are only two points ahead of Johnson , I'll not use the word Conservative Party .Something not reight somewhere .
It’s going to be a walk over in the next GE isn’t it.

Of course it won't be a walkover. Anything could happen yet. And 30% of the population are now so wedded to Project Johnson that he could rape a sheep in the doorway of No10 and they'd find a reason to excuse him.Couple of old dears from Tiverton on R4 news this lunchtime. "Yes he might have had a few drinks, but why did everybody go on so much about it. Boris has had so much on his plate. He had to deal with COVID. And all the problems with Brexit."God help us...
Fee fi fo fum. I smell the blood of a Tarn Tory.

I smell the blood of a Tarn Tory.To tell the truth William if both the major party's were cars you'd have taken them to the scrap yard decades ago .I find both in varying degrees absolutely grotesque .They both survive because of tribalism and our voting system , that's the only thing that keeps them alive .
