I told ya. They will take away your car. It doesn't matter how green it is, they are going to take it away. That's what they want to do. That's what they will do, as long as they can.
Then they will take away public transport. For the same reasons.

You don't need a car because you don't *need* to travel.
If you don't need to travel, a bus or a train is as bad as a car or a plane.
Don't expect MPs or BBC environment "journalists" to defend freedom.

Organisations like @CREDS_UK, which produced the "report" are an interesting phenomenon.
They are academic in the sense of being attached to universities and research organisations. But they produce nothing of value to society equivalent to research.

They are more a kind of moral or political police.
They are concerned with the regulation of society. They are not interested in substantive development, to find real solutions to actual problems.

Forgot the pic... 
It's like think-tank, quango, policy-unit, NGO, PR firm, and political party and government departments are all rolled into one nebulous body.
It is completely unaccountable. It is entirely unresponsive to criticism.
It *really* needs to be shut down. All of it.

They are in fact some of the most useless people ever to have walked the surface of this planet.

Hyperbole?
No. Not at all.
Think about all the things that are framed in green terms.
The most simple things in life are problemetised by green 'academics'.
From feeding people to using the toilet, it is the most basic things that preoccupy green 'researchers'.
