[Boris Johnson is what the GOP will be in a decade or two should the steal go through.]


UK Conservatives are to the left of the Democrats stateside. That’s why they get along so well. The GOP pals around with the Tories because we’re technically the right wings of our respective countries, but we’re really very different, philosophically-speaking, and the gap is widening.

One or two horsepower cars are the solution. The luxury models will get four horsepower.

I think the plan is to force people to use the lousy public transpo.

You laugh. My great-grandmother fled what is now the Ukraine just before WWII. The Soviet sympathizers in her town were instructing herders to give their meat to the government and go to the local markets for their food. The problem was that those local markets were bare, and any meat that was there was often horse or worse, dog.

They’re pushing this plant-based meat BS on us from all corners. Don’t be surprised if someday soon the local butcher is only selling that stuff. They want to cull bovine herds because of “global warming.” No meat for you!

You aren’t going to get a car, get it? They can wind power a car because very few will have them. You probably will not have air conditioning and heat will be controlled by them.

Welcome to Communist Utopia where life is dark year round.

More of “the great reset”/ U.N. Agenda 2030. Turns out Boris was part of the globalist cabal all along. Fooled me.....

Cuban auto mechanics, who use duct tape to keep cars running, will be a valuable commodity.

I predict 2 year college courses - “Keep old cars running” Degree

California and New Jersey have already adopted a similar ban.

If Biden’s puppet masters get in expect that to go nationwide.

An investment opportunity - buy and mothball a couple ICE cars before then.

Another “conservative leader” betraying his base. They might as well have elected Newsom.
