From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Homewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Regit\u2019s motorists have emphatically backed the postponement of the 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel-powered cars, with 80% saying they support the decision.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The postponement of the ban was announced last week by PM Rishi Sunak but the decision has caused huge controversy within his party, while motor manufacturers and eco-activists were left raging.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 4,000 of Regit\u2019s users completed the survey<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course these are only motorists being polled, but I suspect most of the public will have similar views (spouses and so on), or will have no strong views either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
