This!
Day by day we get closer to an Orwellian dystopia where the government controls the public by making them believe they are constantly at war. In our case the war on terror, war on speeding, war on diesel vehicles etc. Govt use these things to distract from the real issues and use it as an excuse as to why we can't have things.
Are ISIS not a problem then?
Does speeding not kill?
Do diesel vehicles not pollute more than petrol?
I am not saying these are the only three issues we currently face as a society, but they are prevalent issues.
As this thread is about diesel, government stance and public opinion has to adapt to new scientific understanding, we know more now about diesels than we did 10 years ago, our stance has to change.
