Oh, not to save the environment then? No? I’m confused. You said it was to save the environment – instead it was a temporary measure to prop up an ailing industry that’s not even ours1 at the expense of our frail environment (considering it takes an old car roughtly 100,000 miles to put out the amount of pollution required to produce one new one).
Well, that seems wise. I trust our government completely now with making good environmental policy, don’t you.
1 since we don’t actually make cars anymore. All the companies supported are based… outside the UK. So propping up foreign companies2 is a great plan for the UK government.
2 At the expense of UK industry – and the cutsy idea that we could, say, do something towards building a green economy.
