For my sins I still have a look at a few FB groups. But, oh dear, whatever the topic, when I dig down into the comments there's usually someone who has to shoe-in an racist/anti-net zero comment.

There's a new build estate near me, where many houses front onto service roads. They're plenty wide enough for a car to get past a parked car on the road, but, oh no, the parkers are nearly always half on the pavement.

This makes me angry. UK policy on foreign students is wrong because it is racist and corrodes our society. It's also plain stupid: it is wrecking a major UK export industry that provides jobs, growth and innovation for our country.

Lewis Mumford, Authoritarian and Democratic Technics, 1964
tendency of this system might be in doubt, for in many areas there were strong democratic reactions; but with the knitting together of a scientific ideology, itself liberated from theological restrictions or humanistic purposes, authoritarian technics found an instrument at hand that has now given it absolute command of physical energies ofcosmic dimensions. The inventors of nuclear bombs, space rockets, andcomputers are the pyramid builders of our own age: psychologically inflated by a similar myth of unqualified power, boasting through theiscience of their increasing omnipotence, if not omniscience, moved by obsessions and compulsions no less irrational than those of earlier absolute systems: particularly the notion that the system itself mustbe expanded, at whatever eventual cost to life.

£10bn to be operational by the end of the first term is a hilarious bit of 'how much?' both in a "ten billion is a lot of money" sense and a "ten billion is not going to get you this in five years' sense.

The myth of Thatcher nursing the "sick man of Europe" back to fiscal health is an illusion based on North Sea tax receipts. Austerity coincided with the loss of that income.

Lib Dem pledge to cut fuel duty by 10p is depressingly bad policy: poorly targeted, expensive (£5bn), and it weakens incentives to switch to EVs and reduce usage.

The DfT just posted this self-congratulatory propaganda on Facebook. This is horseshit. Battery trains have a very minor role to play as a transition technology, but in the foothills of a seismic energy crisis, swapping one form of energy dependency for another is crap politics and worse planning.
a big photographic poster style picture with the text "Electric or battery electric trains? Battery is better. Here's why." Electric trains are powered by overhead lines or a third rail. Compared to diesel, electric trains are:
1. faster - they accelerate and decelerate quicker 
2. quieter - there are no motors, reducing vibrations
3. lighter - increasing capacity, reducing stress on rails
4. emission free - helping us reduce our reliance on dieselBattery-electric trains use the
Overhead lines or a third rail to also charge a battery. They:
Use existing power lines - reducing the need for new infrastructure and allowing investment elsewhere
Avoid complex upgrades - like building new infrastructure on uneven land, which is costly and takes longer
Avoid disruptions to services - caused by infrastructure upgrades & repairsBattery-electric trains can be charged at train stations and on electrified lines.
Trains then run on non-electrified portions of the network.
This technology can help spread the benefits of electric trains to more communities, much sooner.
