You might almost think that the media has been told not to talk about it .
Lets just hope , as Mike Harte says , the bill gets dumped .

Update ... the CAN bill has been blocked in the commons .
Mike Harte was right , it did not have support .
I would like to believe that some people are starting to see some sense on the whole Net Zero insanity , but with politicians and endless propaganda from the media , who can tell?

Tel, I really hope so but that'll need people to recognise the propaganda for what it is instead of blindly taking everything on face value.

Not blocked, just not being debated on at present. (It can return from July).

But, the decision was reached based on an agreement that the proposer will be working with the SofS on measures to achieve Net Zero.

I would say that there appears very little, almost zero, support for the bill. There was no debate at all today and the government proposed that the bill was debated and was put to a vote which they won by 120 to 7, which would suggest that there is possibly little chance that it will even be debated again in July and will therefore just drop away like 95% of all PMBs.

That is probably likely to happen - but as I mentioned, the proposer (Dr Roz Savage) agreed to not push for a vote herself.

As a PMB, it will likely go no further. But as a method to get the issues in the forefront of people's minds, it seems to have worked.
The topic will still be discussed and Dr Savage has bought a place a the discussion with Ed Miliband - who let's remember is the 'Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero'.
Net Zero remains the goal - and this bill even being presented today is part of the effort toward that.

This is all so "Yes, Prime Minister" isn't it? Remember the edition where a young enthusiastic MP proposed an anti-smoking bill and was bought off by a plum job ( I think it was in the Treasury "so you can fight them from the inside")? Sound familiar?

Such a prescient series, relevant even today, and I believe compulsive watching for St Margaret of Grantham who was quoted as saying that someone must have an insider view of Westminster.

On another note, storm 6 of this season is about to hit us. We managed to avoid the worst of storm Éolwyn, but storm Spanish-Name will come right over us. I've just had to replace three awning canopies thanks to the weather, this Global Warming is getting expensive. Still, at least we're still working and not frozen off like I used to regularly be in January when I worked at Combe a quarter of a century ago.

Perfect!

It is still one of my favourite TV shows.

On a separate note, the alarm in my hired van has taken to setting itself off at random intervals even though the van is not locked. Apparently my name is mud around the kart track paddock because the wind last night was rocking the van...I'm safely in a Purple Palace about 20 minutes away. Wish me luck!

Perhaps not a sense of humour .If it was called WINSTON SMITH , or BIG BROTHER , more people might realise what it is for .
To check where you are , who you talked to , what you said , and especially how much money you have and where it is .
The DWP have just been given new powers to go into your bank account and take money out of it .
So it is just more of 1984 as an instruction book .

Our kart meeting in Devon has been abandoned. I've never been so wet and cold, I think I have trench foot.

Another pop up awning canopy wrecked, thankfully it was one scheduled for replacement anyway. These pop ups pack away really quickly, I feel sorry for the guys in the big teams with £20k awnings they have to dismantle. I'm waiting for the wind to drop before I hit the road in the Luton.

Stood in the back of the van I genuinely feared it would blow over....

Unsurprising. Animals were queuing up two by two alongside the A303, and the A37 climbing up to the Mendips was more like driving up a waterfall! That was probably my worst drive home from an event ever.

Like you, my shoes and socks are still drying.....

And the wind was so strong it blew someone's kart clear off its stand! Never been so happy to leave a race track.

All this talk of bad weather, I was driving along our coast front this afternoon and listening to Spectrum Radio when the weather forecast lady informed me that we were due blustery winds and heavy rain this afternoon ! Well it was 27c with blue skies at the time and still was at sunset while my wife sat on the balcony reading this evening. For some reason we always seem to have a "micro climate" just here! I expect one or two of you will be hoping it chucks it down for me tonight

We have some wind here. I noticed we have some sailers on the forum and I think they'll enjoy some pics of the Imoca's in action during the Vendée Globe. The foilers offer fantastic views.

Most of the MSM is under pressure to promote the Climate Change fraud .
So you will keep getting propaganda like , more storms happening , worst ever and lots more total lies like that .
The real facts are that bad storms have decreased in numbers over the last 20 -30 years , but they ignore that to push their lies .

Lots of facts here about how we are being lied to .

We were discussing Autosports International a bit ago. I've just had notification that "Motorsport With Attitude" (a short circuit/club racing show) has been called off due to poor stand and advance ticket sales. It was an established she that has been going some years.

It'll be interesting to see what Race Retro is like. There just doesn't seem to be the interest in shows and exhibitions recently, maybe the big motor sport Festivals are taking up the slack?

The cost of entry to these shows is possibly one reason they are on the decline. I haven't been to the AutoSport show in years. The content and quality has dropped off considerably.

AutoSport was a French rendez-vous the kind we didn't want to miss. Very convenient all could be done in one day, from Roissy to NEC was a treat, pre-registration was rather easy. Over the years interest has dropped off for us racers too.

And the cost of exhibiting is stunting the content and quality I'm sure. The two go hand in hand.

One things that many visitors forget is that exhibitors are there for commercial reasons. There are huge costs to exhibit, not just the stand space but hotels, meals, travel, teamwear, exhibition materials. We love to show our products to a wide market but there is a limit to the return.

The only show I've been involved with that seems to be growing is Kartmania, and that is an incredibly niche event at a sensible price with probably <5k visitors. Even Tweeks and GPR were there in '24, and they've pulled out of ASI. It costs me less than a grand all up and that's the sort of money I can write off to "networking" as opposed to needing an income from the weekend.

We can't be the only industry questioning the value of big shows. It must be difficult times at the NEC.

Derwent is heading for a stewards' enquiry!
My club has been organising the Cumbria Classic & Motorsport Show since 1989 and we now have to cap the number of exhibiting cars to 800. In 2024 we got an attendance of over 4K. It's an outdoor show with autotests and arena interviews etc but we only charge £25 for trade stands. Thus we get plenty of trade stands which in itself makes for more for people to see. £10 admission and kids free. Of course it's all run by volunteers.

Yeah and there's the difference. The most successful shows are run by people who understand their market rather than professional show organisers. Enthusiasm matters, and that's where the kart bash scores. It's run by a bloke who doesn't need it to pay the mortgage.

What was our best show changed over the years and lost his soul. What has been getting worse is people attitude, one could wonder why some clubs are exhibiting, only members are welcome. As to merchants and auctioneer you've better to be known as very wealthy or give financial guarantees before any discussion and visit. A really strange atmosphere in spite of a hall dedicated to cars sold below € 35k. Original spirit partly moved to Lyon.
