Problem is Melei is an even bigger disaster than the woman before and China seem also to be spending for influence

From BBC article It seem Andrew has business deals in China & gulf that pay well enough to cover the bills. Who’s funding him and why?

It’s so much worse. He has a lease till 2078 to stay in 30 room Lodge at Windsor till 2078 and independent funding from China & Gulf states to help him pay bills!

The US is becoming irrelevant in EV development which is a shame.
Importing cars from China won’t improve things.
As for Ferrari they seem unaffected by trade wars and tariffs current trends have favoured them.
I’m no fan anymore

We have to hope for something better.

graysonb.bsky.social @graysonb.bsky.social · 6h

It’s been much anticipated for some time now although personally I think the exciting things are happening at the budget end of the market

Agree on Venezuela and it will actually be good if he pulls it off.

Argentina is an interesting case. China and the US competing for influence may go on for some time.

I was trying to raise people’s awareness to the issues with log burners which are high in co2 output and absolutely horrendous in terms of particulates.
I’m not trying to invalidate the argument for EVs.

Yeah but Canada 🇨🇦
No sorry you pissed them off with tariffs and talk 51st state talk.

Chinese chequers is so f@@@ing yesterday, this guy is playing Risk.
Brazil and Africa are already “Red” and Russia “Blue” are surrounded with only one way to advance which is fraught with dangers.

All I ask? Did Flunch used to be good but then it went shit?

We had that happen with a fast food chain in the UN called Leon.

Dieppe ~2005
Pay for a fish 🐟
Give recipe to chef who cooks fish while you watch to your liking & hands it to you on a plate.
Fill plate with choice of 30 or more vegetables including red or green lentils , boiled potatoes, fries, croquettes,rice or various pasta.
Enjoy.

I recall we went to Flunch not for our 25th anniversary but it was close to the time. We’d really enjoyed eating there on a holiday when our marriage was still new and well, maybe it was a smaller restaurant but the selection was no where close to how good it was 20 or so years ago😩

On n'a absolument rien prévu, on va se retrouver au Flunch 😂

I’m sure there’ll be a small gardeners flat at Windsor Castle that they could have and Charles could easy afford to buy them a Nintendo and maybe even an exercise bicycle and foot spa from the Salvation Army shop.

Like all animals they are wonderful when you see them in their natural environment or sometimes when they find a niche to exist in our concrete jungles. Ibex (European goats) are not endangered.

But we have a long history of putting animals in the wrong places.

I want people to buy EVs but know this. In terms of air pollution (not co2) buying a 🪵 log burner and a wood fired pizza 🍕 oven will reverse ⏮️ any benefit you created in your local area by changing car.

And also a reality check.
EVs are less polluting than ICE but for Euro 6 ice brake dust and particulates from tyres pollute as much as engine emissions and EVs share the tyre problem. Euro7 emissions standards will address this.

Home heating solutions were on display at show so I do think Log burners deserve a mention - as single log burner emits the same pollution as around 50 wagons!
50 ffs!

You shouldn’t be able to notice fumes from an individual euro 6 vehicle or even euro 5 petrol.

Older vehicles 15+
Modified vehicles
Badly maintained diesels
And 100 times worse than all above Log burners!

To be fare that blond buffoon Johnson and Truss deserve a good mention and Sunak at least a sub note all the while reiterating how Farage supported or failed to comment on their every blunder.
