[Porkscratching]

Having had much experience with horses in the past, I reckon i could do the "horse and cart" thing,  ( when the powers that be have legislated us right back to the level of medieval type serfdom).....

It is gesture politics ...

Anything the 80 million Brits do - going back to living in caves, no electricity, no transport, no shops, no plastic will NOT make one scrap of difference to the net global warming - set against a global population of Billions 

However 
The subject of this topic is to reduce the localised pollution from "dirty diesels" in a city centre and this has some merit.

Diesels can be made to run a lot, lot cleaner with LPG fumigation and exhaust filters (better than they have now) and probably other technology - but no one seems that interested in the rush to electric powered vehicles.

Quite how the demand for extra electricity is going to be meet I'm not sure/convinced. Generating electricity is going to produce pollution somewhere

Of course it's 100% gesture politics...just so the international politician's old boys club can pat each other on the back, (and vote themselves another  pay rise of course..)
.. while the population (us) have ever more of our free choice removed,  and be further insulted by telling us they're doing us a favour.....

……..and of course, raising the price of diesel and petrol until none but the very rich can afford to run an ICE vehicle.
