Dan Brown @snaphookdan.bsky.social · 03/08/2026What boggles my mind is that if you wanted these for cities (you don't need them), make them with an electric powertrain. Perfect for shorter journeys, no tailpipe emissions. That they have stuck with a V6 and said this is for urban areas is pretty gross. 140

Dan Brown @snaphookdan.bsky.social · 29/01/2026By that logic people who don’t have children shouldn’t have to pay for all costs associated with child care. Which is obviously ridiculous, and not how tax works! 000

Dan Brown @snaphookdan.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Weird - he is able to use social media with no problem at all. 190
Dan Brown @snaphookdan.bsky.social · 19/01/2026Interesting they are all 'editorials' so can be fact free. Clear strategy to ramp up climate misinformation under the guise of 'journalism'. 010
Dan Brown @snaphookdan.bsky.social · 13/01/2026Also nothing on the BBC's 'Live' reporting of this fact either. 000

Dan Brown @snaphookdan.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Exactly this - they treat fossil fuel extraction as some sort of benign process with no environmental impact. 000
Dan Brown @snaphookdan.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Great episode! The first question very much felt like a Ramble version of 'put that on the changing room to fire them up' 😂 000
Dan Brown @snaphookdan.bsky.social · 14/12/2025Total European market for new car sales is ~12m per year. UK is ~1.5m. No OEM has a double digit market share (SMMT) so they will not keep production for a maximum of 150k vehicles per year - it would be insanely expensive. 140
Dan Brown @snaphookdan.bsky.social · 14/12/2025Absolutely - the OEM's are in the process of changing their entire production to align with this. They are not going to change that at vast cost on the vague ramblings of an idiot. 140
Dan Brown @snaphookdan.bsky.social · 14/12/2025Also - petrol cars are not being banned, just the production of new petrol cars. People will have petrol cars well into 2040. 010
Dan Brown @snaphookdan.bsky.social · 06/12/2025Even I would look at the £234 billion (of a £2.7 trillion economy) number and say 'that doesn't feel right' and double check - is there any sort of governance before these numbers are released, or is it confirmation bias? 030
Dan Brown @snaphookdan.bsky.social · 30/11/2025With there being such a difference in 'time with players' for international games and club games, do you think there is now a consideration for players that while talented, may not be as suited to the international scene? Or will the best players figure it out? 000

Dan Brown @snaphookdan.bsky.social · 21/06/2025It's just a fig leaf for 'I don't like non-white people'. They would NEVER say this about an Australian for example. Cut away all the noise and it's racism. 000
