The Low Emission Zones are a central government directive that councils have to meet. At least, the one in Bristol is, so assume Londons is as well.

The Green thing is a bit OTT, I agree. Due to some Government grant, I have recently had cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, and ventilation tiles and double glazing stuff installed. For free. All the craftsmen who did the work all agreed with me; "Its all a load of crap" basically. But the snug does feel, well, more snug.

How did you get that, every time I get someone phoning up mentioning insulation etc I get fed up and call an end to the conversation. If they started off by saying “I’ve got free stuff for you” I might listen…..

We best stop all this free speech, it’s not free unless it’s Tory approved free speech after all.

Pete blue can tell us all what to think, feel and say, and the sunlit uplands post brexit will magically arrive for everyone, including us non-flag shaggers.

The problem is though that this ‘sunlit uplands’ was a remainer quote. I get that we are on two sides of a political divide over Europe and indeed the U.K. but this is an Everton forum where we just converse, even if we disagree….

Really ?

With reference to Winston Churchill’s speech, the phrase sunlit uplands has recently been associated with the bright future that Brexit was—and still is—supposed to usher in.

For example, the following is from a speech made by the British politician Andrea Leadsom (born 1963), who was then candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party, as transcribed in The Spectator (London, England) of Monday 4th July 2016—Andrea Leadsom was referring to the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum of Thursday 23rd June 2016:

The decision we took on the 23rd June was a great moment in history. Not just a historic opportunity for our country but for Europe as a whole. Perhaps the biggest moment since the Berlin Wall came down. We are not leaving any of our historic ties with our European friends, We are choosing freedom away from the stifling EU institutions. […]
[…]
[…] I want to make an appeal to the country. Our democracy is the oldest in the world. We are the mother of all parliaments. We have led the world in human rights. Let’s show the world that we can disagree. We can disagree strongly, but let’s also show them that we treat each other with respect. I believe this nation can become the greatest on earth. Our future is not written until we, the people, write it. As your prime minister my ambition will be to guide our country to the sunlit uplands—a future for our children and grandchildren of aspiration, tolerance and hope.

Sorry for missing this. Apart from suggesting treating people with respect Leadsom is an idiot…respectfully…..
