EV’s are no more than the latest fad to be favoured by those in control. It will last until another money spinner breaks out. With ever growing populations the usual pressures will trickle down while the Haves will continue to call the shots with scant real regard for environmental or social issues.

The public misinformation campaigns that surface from time to time will continue, so-called social media is the best thing ever invented for mass opinion management, and the general public will lap it up.

Note Dyson announced the transfer of his HQ to Singapore in January this year and last month further announced the winding up of his EV development plans – ahead of the curve once again. Any bets on the latest scientific marvels in the offing? Whatever anyone thinks of him they can’t deny his acumen. EV’s are a flash in the pan, no pun intended, and our own inventors are already on to the next development. All is not lost!

Our greatest future problems lie not in transport but in dependency on the growing levels of State support for those unable or unwilling to contribute.

Mentioned earlier was the subject of children. More children is not the problem, more children born to mothers with no means of adequate support is the problem. That problem is such because their fathers are transient and their haphazard population growth consequences mean their children grow up disadvantaged. They too become anti-social because they are led to believe it is society’s fault, not theirs. They have rights and so do the same as their absent and untraceable fathers - by a factor beyond measure.

How long before compulsory DNA testing in the style of the MMR campaign? Maybe it’s already being done – has anyone counted the number of spent needles? And where they go?
