Environmental effects of EV`s

In my opinion you are a snob - and wrong.

Russia/USSR/Russia has never had a Communist leader.

Why mention Russia twice ?

Politics has used many names to use as a scapegoat.

I witnessed armed guards outside a bakery in Romania in the 1970's, it hardly fuelled me with the belief that 'communism' 'socialism' or whatever 'name' was a panacea for social equality.

Please provide your personal experience to prove otherwise.
 
Well in my book there is a better chance of a good education via a public school, than getting into Government via a trade union, with little or no qualifications...
How has the Eton output been doing the last decade or so? In your book?
Tell you what, I'd take Mick Lynch any day over the thieving, grifting lying scum the public school system, and principally Eton have installed in the tory party. Or labour, come to that.
As far as I can see, the only benefit the Eton + PPE degree confers is the ability to lie through your teeth convincingly.
 
So keeping the 2 % (guesstimate) alive for 5 (another) years longer is better than saving the lives of the planet 7.9 billion (FACT) and all the other species on it.
By keeping our hospitals overheated using billions/trillions of tons of fossil fuels.

Because we deserve it.
No, because sick people deserve it. To do otherwise is homicide by neglect. I'm sure Harold Shipman thought it was OK to kill off a few grannies, they were on the way out anyway.
Interesting philosophy.
No, common decency.
Given that you work in the food industry how are you proposing that we feed the extra 70 million extra people on the planet (from last year) (FACT) and the next.?

The UK alone increased by some 700,000 people (non-fact) bigger than the city of Sheffield.
How many extra acres (hectares) of farmland, and how many additional food processing factories are required just to fulfil the food requirements of last years population growth ?
By increasing the productivity of the UK's farmland and factories. There's plenty of space for farmland, and increasing factory productivity is part of what I do. There's plenty of scope. For a start, the bakery where I'm currently working has space for a doubling of output simply by installing 2 more lines. That doesn't come cheap, but people will and do pay for food. Also before anyone starts complaining about the cost of food, I'd point out that a standard 800g loaf costs under £1, or less than 6 minutes' work at minimum wage.

It reflects the historical development of that country.

To be clear, no country has had Communist leadership.

Anecdotes prove nothing.

Misleading statement
Longer than both your arms is the list of countries/states that have been committed to communism and many still are. If you mean that they adopted a branch of said idealism like Marxism or etc and therefore were not strictly 'communist' you'll need to provide a link to what you think is THE defining definition of the word and explain why Marxism, for example is not worthy of sitting under the communist umbrella.

That statement very depends on the definition of Communist. There are several styles of Communism, and some are very much authoritarian in nature. Those just happen to be the types that have governed countries so far. The vision of Communism as a power and control of materials and wealth being in the hands of the local communties, is one that I suspect would probably not be viable. Thus it remains a utopean ideal more than any realistic method of having a stable peaceful society.

NB: yes it has worked, but only in small (relatively isolated) communes to date. Scaling it to a nation level is the problematic part.
 
Boris Johnson? Liz Truss? A fat lot of good their education did them. The two worst PMs in history.

I guess you’ll be voting for more of the same. It beggars belief.
Agreed, Boris and Liz Truss were the worst in history, but they are just two out of 400 or so MPs. My MP is brilliant. Would I vote for any other party? I might, but I don't see a credible alternative. They all have to face the same problems with the same amount of money, so there is no simple answer...

Were you aware that Eton started out as a school for the poor? What you have said above applies to all of the parties, There have been "thieving, grifting, lying scum" in all the parties. Its not just exclusive to the Tories...
 
Have you had your head in a bucket for 10 years?
I just remember what it was like under the other parties going back over 60 years. I have voted for both the major parties over the years and they are all pretty much the same...
 
Well this is a fascinating discussion of the environmental effects of EVs - has it maybe drifted a little off topic?

there is a singularity on PFM which means all threads will get sucked into politics/economics etc.....it is the way.....you cannot resist.

How is that relevant?

I'll give you ten grifting tories for every one you can name from other parties, and I reckon the amounts the tories grift are geared ten to one, too.

There is no country that operates under Marxist/communist principles - your quote from Marx is a good starting point.
