About Time somebody took some action
This is one of the few areas that the EU can do something positive about and they are right to take the UK to court. UK government has no interest in the health or wellfare of its own citizens only "entrepreneurs" who can provide the right kickbacks.
Trouble is the loony greens and UK government went overboard for CO2 control at the expense of pollution and got conned by the French/German diesel manufacturers, when in the early stages other car manufacturers were trying to sell the idea of lean burn petrol engines. The fake benefits of diesels and lies about clean emissions conned everyone.
On top of this we all know VW and the rest fiddled the engine software to make things even worse, and the other manufacturers, aided by the UK and German govt in particular, made sure the emissions and economy testing process was meaningless anyway.
But when did the EU prosecute Germany or German car manufacturers? They get away with breaking the financial regulations, unlike Iceland, Italy and UK..
They are too big to be punished, like the banks.
In the long run we are far better out of it all and we just have our own government to blame - If the "terrorism" laws allow us to see any of the facts by then.
