Halt this ‘green’ peril

MANY foolish things are slipping through during our general madness and the death of Parliament. One is the legalising of electric bikes and scooters, which I predict will injure many and kill quite a few once they become as common as their (brilliant) lobbyists want them to be.

An idiot, Kyah Jordan, was last week convicted of drink-driving one such vehicle on the Isle of Wight, where they can be hired in an ‘ experiment’. But once they become general, there will be thousands of such idiots. Many will be drivers who have already been banned but need no licences to ride vehicles which can be engineered to travel at dangerous speeds.

Their PR men say they are ‘green’ but their batteries need metals dug from slave-mines in Africa and they are charged using electricity generated by gas and diesel. So this is baloney.
