This is a joke right??
This is the most ridiculous, stupid, misinformed, deluded statement since they declared the Titanic “Unsinkable”. No way has Marvin Rees, Mayor of Bristol thought this thru. It will hit the retail industry hard within the “Zone” & it will force people to use out of town retail sites.
This is just another example of politicians jumping on the “Green” bandwagon with out knowing the full facts & to gain favour with the “Yoghurt knitters” … modern day diesel cars that conform to Euro VI emissions limits hardly produce any emissions at all … compared to modes of “Public Transport”

Hopefully Marvin Rees will choke on his “Linda Mccartney” sausage before he has time to implement this crazy policy.

Powers, to what, had. Us all with them, marvin Reese
As deluded as his master Corbyn, a.thry do is make people’s
Lives a living misery, this is a leftist agenda, disease
Can run far more cleanly on other fuels. The agenda of the
Mafia EU is now electric, they have to rid us of cars
By focil fuels, to make a whole other industry
For the corporate to steal from us, this is a bog mistake,
Big mistake, he’s gone too far. We need to get rid of major
For bristol.

If this is the case how am l to work in Bristol, doing what I do, I need access to the city is a must for my business??

If you can’t get into the city in your diesel car, stay at home and play on the free broadband that Labour are proposing instead.

I understand the need for lower emissions but scrapping perfectly useable vehicles to replace them, how much emissions will that cause making new vehicles or is it a case if ‘they are made elsewhere, so it doesn’t affect us.
