The EU as King Canute

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a G-Wiz banging into a human shin— forever.
They may as well call for an end to wars and large subsidised chocolate cakes for pre-school infants.

The European Commission, who are the real rulers of the European Empire Union, has issued a proclamation that all diesel and petrol powered vehicles are to be banned from EU city centres by 2050.  And that's just the tip of the ice berg.

They might as well just issue internal passports and be done with it.  I don't know what is more daft about this insane proposal; its grovelling before Lord Summerisle and his ilk, the phenomenal arrogance,  its vile imposition on human freedom, the utter cluelessness as to its feasibility or its impact, that its bloody obvious that the restrictions won't apply to the Inner Party, the fact that it just begs to be ignored, that if successful it will reduce the capitals of Europe to abandoned ruins, the lack of priorities in pushing "green" agendas in the face of economic ruin and looming civil war with the Jihadists, or the profound absurdity of a load of self-appointed Solons issuing decrees in the name of a bankrupt empire that won't even exist by a quarter to the due date. 

When reality thumps this lot, it'll hit hard.

  2. No need to ban. We will run out of oil before that.

    There is no clause for natural gas, ethanol and RME powered combustion engines. If a law has a loophole, it is to be employed.
