and I've nothing against alternative transport

I simply know what the end goal is currently. That goal involves restricting use of, pricing out from most people, or all-out eliminating the free-range legal use of, combustible engine vehicles.

Want to use something else for your daily commute? Not unreasonable at all, but the choice should be yours. "Choice" being the key word, and it is not intended to exist in the near future. Tell me I was wrong in a few years. I hope to have been so.
