Boris has spoken and started the end of the petrol engine in the UK. Under Boris’s new Green plan, the sale of new combustion engine vehicles, that are powered wholly by Petrol or Diesel will be banned from 2030. First we need to stop wasting funds in vanity projects like HS2 that should be killed now.
