Hard to move house/ transport goods without them.

I'm much more concerned about this misinformation:

UK's petrol and diesel drivers are up against the rich celebrity backed 'Client Earth', the fanatical 'Extinction Rebellion', "Stop Oil" and the uncompromising 'Green Party' all well financed by millions of pounds of donations from misinformed virtue signalling big egos and the liberal elite

As opposed to fossil fuel lobbies??

They could've just said Woke.

On the "Which political parties support drivers, I ticked 'em all and said:

All parties support drivers. Not everyone supports that drivers rights should take precedence over other groups.

Heh. I did the same.

Drivers are just people. All the parties support people.

I'm fairly certain that any of the fossil fuel companies have more money and can afford more lobbying than any of those  lefty activist groups intent on stopping the motorist

[Cudzoziemiec]

And it's not even generally perceived as 'lobbying', just 'business'.

Did you know that Tristan da Cunha has its own post code. It was specially created to enable online deliveries.

Taking the RAC as an example, there are alternative providers of breakdown insurance. We all accept that we still need to burn fossil fuels in some ways - I’m still heating with gas - but I don’t accept them funding the misinformation, on which we completely agree. Associations/membership orgs and representative bodies are harder and, of course, do not necessarily represent the views of all their members.

Anyway - I did his survey but it’s plain to see it’s intended to wind people up rather than really to gather opinion.

[MattH]

I wonder if completing his survey is actually counterproductive; if, say it comes out the 70% of respondents are in favour of his agenda, then it seems quite compelling to newspapers running the "story". If it says that 100% of respondents (or close) agree, then it looks like it is, totally unscientific and unrepresentative.

I did, too. I don't really care.

The Green Party does not accept large donations from individuals or companies, full stop.

Membership subscriptions
Membership subscriptions ("subs") provide one source of funding for political parties. However, in recent times membership has declined and campaign costs have grown.

The Green Party is the only major political party in the UK which receives the majority of its funding through membership fees and these are what cover the running costs of the organisation. Membership subs have become a more significant source in income for both the SNP and Labour in recent years, as both have seen substantial increases in membership.[2][9]

"...the uncompromising 'Green Party' all well financed by millions of pounds of donations from misinformed virtue signalling big egos and the liberal elite"

They've obviously never looked at the Green party accounts.

I suspect that any figures the SNP provide on its funding are somewhat unreliable - https://news.sky.com/story/scottish-first-minister-humza-yousaf-reveals-snp-auditors-resigned-six-months-ago-and-he-did-not-previously-know-12855153#:~:text=It%20was%20revealed%20last%20week,they%20actually%20resigned%20in%20October.

New survey, folks!

They are moving to a subscription model now and the survey will not be accepted unless you tick
one of the boxes (£25, £50, £100, etc) indicating that you're prepared to pay said amount as an
annual subscription.

Not quite.  They're merely asking your opinion as to what the membership fee should be.  It doesn't require you to pay up when they launch that.  And you can of course tick the "Other" box and enter 0.

[MattH]

Or select £100, as they are obviously worth that, and if enough people do that then that'll be what they set their subs to when they start to do a membership drive.

[Socks]

That is one very biased survey, which of course is as expected.  Completed the survey with answers that they probably didn't want.
