Everyone's on notice now of having to end internal combustion, at least in cities.

As the article says, we legislated away coal (along with asbestos, mercury, lead . . .) with the respective industries moaning like stink. We can and will do it again with petrol and diesel. What better way to invest in infrastructure, jobs and manufacturing opportunities, with a private-public "partnership" (I use the word loosely, of course) - should go down a treat with a certain crowd in SW1.
I'm sure that classic/collectable car afficionados will be looked after. A long history of this. Trouble is, some of what we regard as classic/collectable is all a bit recent . . .
