Good grief why do you always misunderstand? It's not coming from Netflix, haven't you noticed Starmer has latched on to it, Downing St even invited Graham and Thorne in to talk about it.

Firstly it's not a response to Trump:

'A consultation on the government's EV target changes ended in mid-February'

And secondly the changes are minor tweaks.

Obviously you find it pathetic, but I think most would say it's fairly sensible and not worth crying about.

The notion of continuing with the nonsense of fining uk manufacturers for not achieving impossible targets is pathetic and oddly the industry definitely think it’s something worth crying about

The government is claiming it’s trying to support the industry and is making statements now - he says he’s being bold and backing British brilliance

Starmer promises 'bold changes' to rules over electric cars in wake of Trump's tariffs

The prime minister confirms a 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars but announces changes to regulations to help firms transition.

Starmer should leave the car industry to it and focus on providing net zero public transport. Why we've still got diesel trains running all over the country 140 years after the first electrified railway god only knows.

I've always been deeply suspicious of anything attached to a massive propaganda campaign, I ask myself who is paying for it and who ultimately benefits. The focus seems to be on restricting social media for minors, that is what the main writer Jack Thorne has said and Australia has already legislated in that area. The new age of censorship is upon us.

Australian social media ban on under-16s approved by parliament

The ban aims to reduce "harms" on children and will take at least a year to implement, the PM says.

We've always censored things based on age ratings, generally for the protection of children. Are you against that?

Once again, if you actually read the details it's nothing like the headline would have you believe.

'LABOUR DROPS RAPE GANG INQUIRIES!!!'

No, Labour is providing the exact same funding but is making it available for local authorities to use how they see fit for their particular cases.

There's plenty to knock them for without resorting to this

Read it again and come back to me.

The fact that as far as I can see only the Telegraph, Express and GBeebies seems to be reporting it says it all.

And see if you can do it without calling me a cuck.

You can only see them reporting as probably the left wing media won't, as like you and the government, they shit their pants when it comes to tackling these issues.

I have read it. It's a complete joke. It was the weakest form of investigation in the first place, but they don't even have the balls to go through with it, and have instead opted for 'local authorities', which was more or less the criticism in the first place.

Anyone sticking up for this is a grooming gangs apologist, or an idiot. I hope you are the latter.

Yeah I'm clearly a grooming gang apologist, I can see how you've drawn that conclusion

You're quite happy to 'simp' for a serial sexual abuser and guy that hangs around with paedos so maybe get off your high horse if that's the game you want to play.

I haven't done anything, so stop trying to deflect onto me to protect yourself.

You are here sticking up for this useless government, and are quite happy to watch the grooming gangs scandal continue with no effort to stop it or investigate it. That is what is pathetic.

Don't come at me on morals either. You have quite happily abandoned them in favour of simping for your political party of choice. Frankly, you've got no balls.

If you don't support a national enquiry on grooming gangs then it says everything about you.

Where have I said I don't support an inquiry into grooming gangs?

All you're doing is continuing to prove that you're really fucking good at reading things that aren't there and getting angry about those made up things.

You kicked off and threw yourself in front of a bus to defend your beloved government after they said they weren't going to have an inquiry.

If you support one, then just say it rather than being a twat. Putting politics in front of morals is not a good look otherwise.
