Electric cars just replace a car with another car. I'm not even convinced we need lots more public transport, at least not long-range public transport.

and yet people will be shocked that a decent everyday bike can cost as little as £500. For some reason they expect them to be practically free. For much less you can only buy a BSO (Bicycle-Shaped Object)

Around here families of four probably have at least two cars. I didn't realise what 'car-dependency' looked like until I moved out of London. People tell me, "You don't have transport," but I walk, I have a bike, I get the bus or the train.

With a 72% turnout, only 37% of registered voters voted Leave. Should not voting be seen as a vote for the status quo?

Still Europe. Just as Norway, Switzerland, and much of the Balkans are Europe. But not EU.

You can't make people eat it though.
