The UK’s Latest Electric Car Bribe: Free Batteries for the Braindead
Let’s get one thing straight, if you have to bribe people to buy something, chances are nobody wants the darned thing in the first place. Enter the UK government’s latest brainwave: a ludicrous electric vehicle (EV) subsidy, cooked up in the climate cult’s backroom bunker.
This is nothing more than a desperate taxpayer-funded handout to get the driving public into a car they didn’t ask for, don’t want, and will never be able to charge without a PhD in patience.
Apparently, now the UK State will reward car buyers with up to £6,000 to ditch their diesel darling and drive one of these soulless eco-toasters. Not because EVs are good but because the shelves are stacked with unsold stock, the hemp-trouser wearing brigade is breathing down Number 10’s neck, and the public, like usual, isn’t playing along with the script.
Because here’s the truth no politician will admit: no one wants these cars. They’re heavier than your mother-in-law after Christmas, cost more than your first home, and have all the range of a cheap pub Tinder date and that is 200 miles if the weather is right, the wind is behind you, and you’ve sacrificed a goat to the god of lithium.
Oh, and don’t even try a road trip. Charging an EV on the M6 is like queuing for bread in Soviet Russia. Public chargers? Broken, blocked, or slower than a sloth on strike. Home charging? Lovely idea if you own your home, have a driveway, and fancy paying to rewire your entire street.
But never fear the UK government thinks £6,000 is enough to turn the sheeple into eco-puppets. That’s right. They’re using tax payers money to pay tax-payers to play along with their net-zero theatre, while China laughs all the way to the rare earth bank.
This isn’t policy. It’s a bribe. A green-washed hustle.
Worse, it’s an insult to every hardworking Brit already struggling to fuel their car, heat their home, or buy groceries without taking out a second mortgage.
Now they’re being asked to fork out so the middle-class virtue-signallers of Islington can glide silently to Wine-Bars to sip iced Chardoney in their subsidised Tesla’s, feeling morally superior while the rest of the mere mortals freeze in the bus queue.
The truth is simple: the electric car revolution isn’t happening organically — it’s being engineered. You’re not choosing EVs. You’re being corralled into them by bureaucrats who couldn’t wire a plug, let alone run a country. It’s time to unplug from this madness.
Here’s a thought: if EVs are so wonderful, why are we being forced to buy them? BTW, this is satire and not intended as a factual endorsement of the views expressed.
Let people buy what works. Let the market decide. And stop insulting our intelligence with subsidies for cars nobody wanted in the first place.
Disagree? Good. That’s democracy. But if you’re writing your reply from the back of a dead EV on the A1, maybe — just maybe — give it a second thought.
