I wonder what the Artic circle is? Is it where they build or store HGVs?
I’m pretty sure Aldi has these on offer at the moment for £2.75.
Nah, you’re getting confused with the mini

It’s fair to say that there is very little serious action to reduce resource consumption. In the UK I think only the Green Party are suggesting economic reduction, all the others promote growth that can only be achieved by increasing ecological footprint. Globally there is not a single metric that indicates any reduction to the rate of increase of environmental degradation.I suspect direct action will become more frequent and in a 100 years time will be seen in a similar light to the suffragette movement of 100 years ago.
Sadly, other countries are now using our new Cumbrian coal mine as an excuse to not bother with reducing CO2 emissions: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/16/allowing-cumbria-coalmine-was-disaster-for-climate-diplomacy-says-lord-turner
Maybe I’m being paranoid, but your ellipsis makes me think you’ve put an intentional error in there somewhere (or, worse, I made an unintentional one!)His error was to type three dots (…) rather than using the unicode character for ellipsis (…)

Just had a quick search around and seen the same quote published, but with “Arctic” spelled correctly, so I think it’s a BristolPost error. However, discovered that there is a charity called “Reclaim Our Community” that is unrelated to this activist group – maybe they should join forces with Tyre Extinguishers instead.
I was under the impression
I was under the impression that SUVs became popular in the U.S. as they overly tax small vans (possibly due to them being imported) and so SUVs exploit a loophole of being like a van, but not taxed like one. However, outside of the U.S., small vans are better in just about every way than an SUV if you want to shift stuff around – probably not as good for signalling your wealth status though which is probably the only reason that people want them over here.

Yeah, I spotted that this
Yeah, I spotted that this morning, but really didn’t want to click on the BBC sycophantic gushing over the royals. They just can’t mention bikes without drawing attention to how you’d just immediately die if you didn’t wear a helmet and everyone would rightfully say what an idiot you were as it’s so incredibly dangerous and not any kind of useful transport solution.

I really think there needs to be some kind of ethics/empathy test for drivers.

Just been reading about the
Just been reading about the latest Just Stop Oil protest having a premium police response – “Posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, the Met said its officers had arrived within four minutes of receiving a report of the protest and began making arrests. The force said it arrested 61 people, all of whom were still in custody on Monday afternoon.”
I was intrigued as why section 7 of the Public Order Act 2023, which bans any act “which interferes with the use or operation of any key national infrastructure in England and Wales” isn’t used to immediately arrest drivers who crash and block roads etc.

The trick is to tilt it onto two corners and then “walk” it along.
But yes, that sounds ridiculous.

They got it through without damage which looks like a good bit of driving though. Maybe not the best choice of route, however.

So the shopkeepers aren’t happy with the prospect of customers living directly on their doorsteps. Thats pretty forward thinking.It’s something to do with Bacon Tax Sunak’s new anti-15-minute cities – customers have to live more than 15 minutes away.
The car makers and their ads. This is what I don’t get, without claiming to be any sort of Mother Teresa, having either worked all my life in public service or sold bikes in holiday jobs – if you’re not aiming generally at doing good (or at least not harm) in people’s lives and/ or leaving the world a better place than you found it, then WHAT ARE YOU FOR?It’s selfish greed as popularised by Thatcher amongst others
