    The government has given BMW loads of our money and won't say how much.

    Don't vote tory if you don't want profits going to Germany.

    How much tax payer money is being thrown away on this? Another brexit cost. Before the pandemic is before brexit, why can’t they admit it?

    What a bloody joke……this country is utterly screwed by Sunak and the other MP's who are working against the national interest. It will be interesting to see how much government money is going into this.

    The poor sales workers working in a cut-throat industry not really being regulated. Over-worked and under paid with discrimination rife in most dealerships.

    Didn’t BMW do the dirty on Swindon car workers,producing only doors for the mini,and giving early redundancies shutting most of the plant down

    Typical EV driver in the red car. Can't even take a corner without driving right over the center line on the wrong side of the road. Probably looking at the huge tablet sticking out of the dashboard.

    Desperation. Car companies are gutted finacially. Recalls are costing billions, R&D in battery cars will finish them off. Only 5% of drivers want a battery car.

    Brexit gave you this you can now do this without being stifled by EU rules and regulations.

    Just another scam. Go back to gasoline cars. This man is selling you crap. I can’t wait for the batteries in the Mini to cost more the the car itself.

    As an engineer, this country hasn't taken engineering seriously for a long long time.
    Not much manufacturing work here, they sent it all to Poland!

    The most terrifying word government can say is investing. They don’t have any money to invest, other than what they steal from us.

    A Tesla model S can easily last 200,000 miles. I hope the new BMW 'fat Mini' EV isn't too complex.

    The bubble is already bursting I'm afraid. Most new EV purchases now are now for company fleets, and personal EV car sales have stagnated this year as first time buyers have all dried up, and mostly everyone else is wise to their inherent flaws. EVs won't get mass adoption until solid state batteries are mainstream and competitive pricing wise with ICE/hybrid vehicles. Also the fire hazard goes up massively the more EVs we have, the type of fires caused by EVs with thermal runaway and hazardous chemicals released in the process is a huge issue the mainstream media are doing everything to avoid talking about.

    EV's are as practical as wind farms.

    This is the way ahead, clearly. When cars first came on the roads, the horse lobby predicted that in a decade we would be regretting it.

    Nobody will buy the thing.

    If terrorists get them batteries, ALL I SAY, DON'T BLAME ME, ev battery highly dangerous that is just one of them…

    Already you have rouge gangs on battery bikes, running what they see as having fun…

    Funny how they are classed as motorised vehicle and still they NEED NO LICENCE, INEPT PARLIAMENT AND INEPT LAWS,,,

    Starting at £32,000, not exactly cheap and worth a fraction of that in a few years. I’ll stick with a good old petrol model without fear of running out of juice.

Prince Harry’s “ALLIANCE” with Earl Spencer over new Diana book: “DAMAGE THE KING!”

Published

on

By



A royal biographer has accused Princess Diana’s brother of “forming an alliance” with Harry and Meghan.

The late Diana’s brother, Earl Spencer, has taken aim at King Charles over his reaction to her death in his new memoir, ‘Swan Song’.

Speaking to Nigel Farage on GB News, Tom Bower suggested that Harry could have been involved with his uncle’s project.

He said: “He’s [Spencer] not only selling a book, but he’s also a undoubtably formed alliance with Harry and with the Duchess, to somehow damage the King.”
