‘Militant cyclist’ lists fuel tax lobbyist’s home as petrol station on Google Maps

FairFuelUK’s Howard Cox says he got 70 calls from panic buyers and accuses unknown environmentalist of prank

Hang on. That’s some awful reporting there right? Absolutely no way of knowing who’s done this outside of some baseless accusations from Howard Cox and yet the headline and article mention militant cyclists and environmentalists several times. Even if it’s in quotation marks there’s nothing questioning it or remarking that he’s just pulling it out of his arse at any point.

@rpm ?

I don't remember such comprehensive coverage of the German election from the Guardian.

They had to divert buses from Lewisham to Greenwich this morning as the queue for Tesco Superstore garage before 6am had blocked the road

I wonder what second hand prices for electric cars are looking like right now?

Probably not moved much. But I bet the lead time for a charging point installation just went up ten-fold!

second hand prices for electric cars

isnt that like buying a 5 year old iPhone?

Still catastrophic CO2 and does nothing for congestion but solves fuel crisis I guess.

What is to say with the current competency of government that there wont me electricity crisis?

I don't think people who have a petrol car sat outside with an empty tank are thinking about the environment currently - they just want something that works. I wonder if you can graph prices from Autotrader or eBay motors?

If we all had electric cars there would definitely be an energy crisis

TBH I don't tend to boil the kettle at night, are you sure?

Talk that Britain First has been approved as a political party by the electoral commission. F*cking dreadful legitimisation of effectively a domestic terrorist organisation if true. But it does bring them under official scrutiny. Hope their accounts are scoured and scoured and scoured again.

R Kelly done. Now for Andy…

Electric chair. I believe he can fry.

Shame Michael got away with it

The dad-of-two went to Miller and Carter with his fiancée Lucy at 2pm yesterday.

He said: “It is quite expensive but I thought I would treat the missus to something nice.

Bravo
