It's hardly a state secret that our eco-obsessed elites want us to consume less, travel less, and emit less carbon. At the heart of this pathetic project was an effort to tear people away from their cars. Over the past few years, the Greens in government have launched all sorts of anti-motoring schemes. There are low-traffic zones (LTNs), so-called 15-minute cities, and congestion charges such as the London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). Yet every time someone opts out of these schemes, our Green elites claim that none of this is actually happening. To use an oft-used phrase, we are under the gas. Instead of responding to the real concerns of local residents who need their cars, Green politicians and activists claim that there is no war on cars and that we are the crazy ones who are angry. Any opposition to these top-down anti-car schemes has been dismissed as hysterical, conspiratorial nonsense. (LAUREN SMITH)
