Luxury saloons have always had terrible depreciation, they are an extravagance. But have a look at the top 10 worst depreciating cars, a few are indeed luxury saloons but the rest are milk floats. They are a very expensive way to signal your virture

Like I said, when the left don't like dissent or challenge on their views, they seek to discredit, cancel and abuse those who hold the views that they cannot tolerate.

People are waking up, literally everyone sees it now. The party is over, the left is about to crushed

Funny how Stalin could find the money to increase defence spending today when he had his backside handed to him on a silver platter by Trump by "cutting foreign aid"

Yet when pensioners lost their fuel allowance and the assault on our farmers and food security were happening, these were simply "tough decisions"

In other words the left valued throwing our money away on foreign aid more than they valued pensioners and farmers and only relented when Trump forced them to.

Pathetic. Mark my words.....Nut Zero is OVER

Upside Down Prat....I've told you this maybe 20 times already? The site is constantly down when too many people are trying to access it, it's on a basic hosting plan.

You will note now that it's back up and functional, so for about the 300th time in two years, the site being down hasn't led to an end in all communications. How many more times would you like to make the same speculation before the penny drops?

*two peas (in a sickening woke, anti British, anti white pod)

I can understand anything that's put in front of me, I have a degree in Maths and a long and successful career behind me

But there's a very clear trait with you snide lefties. You think that only you understand things and that everybody else must be stupid and you exhibit this arrogance as if it you truly believe it. But your fear of being challenged rationally makes you resort to anything from being rude to belittling to try and hammer your point across

If you truly believed in it, and thought it stood up to scrutiny, you wouldn't need to wet your knickers in every post and abuse people in the process would you? You wouldn't need to to call for information to be censored

You and Quady are to peas in a pod and perfect examples of the kind of useful idiots who are being utilised to destroy the West. You must hate Trump.

1. You inferred that our descendants won't enjoy the planet. How can you know? If its warmer and more pleasant, they live longer and productivity makes their lives even better than ours, how can you know they won't enjoy it. Your absurd tunnel vision on what is nothing but BS leads you to equally ridiculous assumptions that humanity is doomed. It's a mental illness, but I have a cure for you. Turn off the BBC, put down the Guardian, and engage what is left of your brain.

2. CO2 levels have never been measured at such short interims as they are now, we only know previous readings from ice drillings and they are approximate. What we do know for sure is that data is being fiddled and adjusted to suit the current climate change narrative and we know that bad actors are doing this for nefarious reasons

I can join the dots. You simply cannot.

Quady - there are no facts, just modelling which is based on assumptions as inputs. We can't rewind the planet 300 years and try without Industrial revolution to see if the weather might be different (clue...it won't, it would be the same) so we can't prove that burning fossils made a jot of difference. Yes I refute the paid for Science, as do many notable sicentists including Nobel prize winner John Clauser. You say you're not a genius, he is and he categorically states it's all BS

Stack - co2 levels have been 8x higher than now just a million years or so ago, before man existed on the planet. So what caused it to rise then? And what's causing it to rise now? (Clue....big yellow thing in the sky)

If you believe your use of fossil fuels is damaging the planet, then by all means stop using them. That includes not charging your milk float on days when the UK generates its electricity from mainly gas and foreign imports

You ask will our descendants enjoy living on the planet it if gets hotter. Ask yourself how they manage in Dubai at up to 40C when in Scotland its below zero. How did they survive? Do they look like they're about to drop dead? Would a 1.5C increase in the UK be terminal to our way of living? Bring it on I say, more people die of hypothermia than do of heat exhaustion.

Perish the thought Orthern!

The same NASA that says the world is greenifying?!

Don't forget we've had something like 70 years of these apocalyptic claims now (and they even flip-flop from ice age to global burning, droughts, floods, famine) and not one of them has ever come true. They've all been produced by the likes of NASA and respected scientific journals too

The difference nowadays is the power and reach of the media to peddle such BS. Thing logically about it, 40 years ago greens were just harmless weirdos in wellies growing their own veg and recycling rainwater. Nowadays they're a strong political movement embedded in the Marxist left that is destroying everything we built up since the last war.

The planet didn't die then, nor did we. And it won't now. You can get into the Maths if you want, start by telling me how much CO2 in the air is caused by man in the UK, expressed as a percentage. Then we will discuss how ppm has waxed and wained radically over the years, many orders of mangnitude more than this tiny affect we claim to have and yet ice ages have come and gone and the planet is STILL HERE after 4.6bn years

Are you honestly so arrogant to think a species that his inhabited this planet for such a tiny fraction of its existence could ruin it? Also....what is the correct "average temperature" for the Earth, and why?

Stack/Quady

There is no "man made" climate change, get it through your thick skulls. It is a tool used by the incredibly wealthy, via governments, to extract money and freedoms from all of us. The Psuedo-$cience used to fool gullible idiots like you is paid for propaganda which you swallow with great ease.

If you want to drive a milk float, get on with it I have no objection to your stupidity. If you want to butt in on my choices via government then I have a massive problem with it. You no more own this planet than I do, and if you're so concerned about man-made climate change then why did you have children who will contribute more? We all exhale CO2 after all even just existing, let alone the generations of your families for centuries to come and what they will do!

Honestly, live life and enjoy it to the max. Stop being taken in by utter claptrap!

You're correct RICH3R, they tried to develop/finance it themselves, a motley crew with absolutely no clue what they were doing. Anglo just sat back and picked it up like vultures

They are subsidised because nobody would buy one otherwise!! It's really that simple.

It's curious that EVs will now be taxed for road use, for years we've had to listen to the eco loons telling us "it's not a road tax it's emissions tax" - now they zero emission cars are getting taxed too....I think we can put that argument to bed

My next car will be a Six litre W12 Bentley. And I will drive it enthusiastically and emit as much rubbish as I possibly can. Why? Because I'm not some mug who thinks that car use changes the weather.

I'm all for honest debate. Let's start with "the gas price has trebled". Currently it's £109/thm. It peaked during the Ukraine war at £632/thm. Prior to the war it was about the same and we've seen a trough before that and since (in 2024) of around £50/thm. So it hasn't trebled from any point in recent history.

The reason the electric price is based on the gas price is that no contractors would be interested in building renewables at a lower price, it's not viable. So they sold wind contracts during the Ukraine war which condemned us to high electricity prices for the foreseeable future, some 4x what America pays. We could change the pricing structure at the drop of a hat, but then they couldn't hide the green subsidies from us.

There is a place for FF until a CHEAP, viable, reliable and non-intermittent source of energy is established, we are a long way from that and starving, freezing and even killing our citizens on the Altar of climate fantasy will go down as one of the worst atrocities in the history of the UK.

The Saudis are the second largest producer, the US produces more and its output is holding prices down. The third largest producer is Russia. Shortly, the UK will produce none at all and be dependent on other countries for its energy.

With a nutter in number 10 who is determined to alienate the US, and Russian oil and gas out of bounds, that could very well leave us up a certain creek without a paddle.

And it's totally unnecessary, we have hundreds of years and gas and oil in our own reserves yet won't use it. The concept that you can export your emissions to other countries is frankly ridiculous.

Tesla, I don't need to spin a thing, everybody can see the EV market is on its backside. Saturation point has been reached (you will recall I pointed this out a long time ago, there are only so many people willing to buy a milk float), products are expensive, rely heavily on unsustainable subsidy and have dire residual values.

This is making its way into new lease prices too. Have a look at the electric Kia, £775 per month!! For a KIA FFS

The market cap of the top 3 EV makers is based on two things

1. They are the major players in a niche market that accounts for a fraction of world car sales

2. They are overpriced on hype that EVs will be the only option going forwards

Mark my words, the Betamax analogy will prove to be true.

Apologies for AIC, Petrol ENGINES

Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, Porsche and VW have all announced they are shifting investment towards petrol agents having realised that the EV/Betamax experiment is over.

USA ends Nut Zero. BMW pulls EV production in the UK because it can't hit sales, yet sales of EVs are somehow "rampant"

Meanwhile, away from clown world, as mandated targets ramp up delivery on real cars is put back and ever more milk floats are pre-registered as beleagured car makers try to balance survival with cooking the numbers for meeting mandates.

Take a look on autotrader, there are EVs with just 10 miles on the clock with up to 40 grand off list price and they're not even six months old. You cannot buck the market, the great Iron Lady told us that many years ago.

BMW Cancels production of the electric mini in the UK.

I don't get it? I thought everyone wanted an EV? Surely they're all knocking down the doors of their local dealerships to get their hands on the latest milk float?

It's almost as if Net Zero is over or something?

Why not hold both? I have a significant amount of physical all bought at $1300 or less. A miner or explorer will give you better exposure at the price of more risk. You can weight your basket as you see fit, but I'm glad there's more talk about gold on this stock and less talk about the busted flush that is Nut Zero

But it's not an eBay auction, it's a Tier 1 mining asset. Your naivety on the matter makes you look ridiculous.

You're far too interested in trying to goad me to try and make what you say make sense.

Did the oft quoted Noront have a buyer before the first bid landed? No

Did suitors take a stake in it prior? Yes

Why did they do this? For sh.its and giggles or because they wanted the asset?

Why are they waiting? Many reasons but all tactical

If you thought this wouldn't be sold then you wouldn't have claimed to invest recently. Somebody with your attention span can't invest for ten weeks let alone ten years.

Agree with Forrest Gump on one point, I don't see Noboa winning but really hope he does.

On the other, I think Starmer in a frock is bad news for mining in Ecuador. Socialists hate private ventures and wealth creation and the only way she lets it go is with significant teeth into that gold.
