I hear an MP is suggesting a scrappage scheme for diesel cars.

If there are 31 million cars on the road and 38% of them are diesel,
does he really think a £100m scheme providing an average of £8/car is
going to cut it?

Virtue signalling is about concepts, not sums.

I save more than that *per week* by having a diesel car even in the UK
where ridiculously diesel fuel is more expensive than petrol.

If they put hard constraints on driving in some inner cities then I
simply won't drive there. Normally I take park and ride or buses into
major cities anyway since parking there is expensive and/or impossible.
