It is still less environmental damage to keep an old vehicle on the road and not create a new one. Some cars can literally last forever (these models are well known) if they are looked after. The scrap yards are btw filling up with modern c

Yep. Many of them are still good and are on the road even with 100,000s of miles on them. Best car I had was a 2007 Vauxhall Astra. Did about 150,000 miles (and I really ragged it). Still on the road apparently. The 2012 Vauxhall Insignia I

> So your argument is that if we define freedom of speech according to US law, then only the US has freedom of speech? No. My point is that in the UK we do not have freedom of speech enshrined in constitution or law . I believe Freedom

I can answer that quite easily. I had a long held belief that Hitler escaped to South America. This belief BTW isn't that not that uncommon. This is because many other Nazis escaped to South America (including Martin Bormann) and it is
