Straight bananas and the other myths invented by Boris Johnson in the newspaper column he wrote (or still writes - I can't be bothered to check all the jobs he does to maintain his considerable income) for a "laugh".
Such consultations cover a huge variety of topics and they have to start with something - which is usually suggested by someone with limited knowledge of all the aspects, hence there are always components that make no sense and are dropped.
Of course if you are in the country that usually goes far beyond what the others do when implementing such directives and then blames the EU for it you might have reason to worry - but the presence of UK ministers at historic car events is possibly more to do with eyeing up the potential benefit to their coffers of things like capital gains on old cars.
