Not at all mate, I just don't  fancy having diesel particulates in my brain thank you very much.

Can we sue the people who advised us to buy them then?

Not even going to answer that.

 

Here we go for all the diesel fanboys -

Usual strawmans from you.

 

I never said I was a fan of diesel.

I never suggested you was a diesel fanboy . it was a general response and not aimed at you in particular. I was originally responding to questions aimed at me earlier on in the thread, you then came back at me asking a stupid question. Point out the strawman to me?

The first part was a response to you.

 

The second part was a generalisation hence the "for all"

How am I supposed to know this? No spacing, no quoting.

 

You quoted me, and the first part, if answering me, said ''I'm not even going to answer that'', which is dismissive, so I have to assume you dismissing my post, and the next paragraph is mocking people as pro-diesel, and on the same point as my post, hence I pulled you for strawman.

 

You never specified 'for all', so I don't know why you put that in inverted commas there.

 

-

 

'you then came back at me asking a stupid question'

 

I'm glad you think my livelihood is a stupid question. (a similar jokingly strawman, just in case Cyclone reads this thread in the morning and points it out)

Have you heard yourself, You never asked me anything about you're livelihood. You asked me if you would be able to sue the people who advised people to by diesel car's. Well I will answer that, No you won't.

[geared 317]

They're all brand new cars though, Euro 6 standards have sorted out most of the emissions issues.

The problem is many people can't afford to just go out and buy a brand new car to help with local air pollution. 

 

The government knew about diesel air pollution issues decades ago, but decided to ignore advice and chose to prioritise CO2 emissions over everything else.

He will, he can sue anyone he likes for anything he wants.

Winning the case is a different matter of course.
