I don’t think it’s “amazing” that it’s being ignored, ajn – I think it’s intentional.
How could the Government push for the UK ‘Going Electric’ by 2030 (EU by 2035) while acknowledging the ‘culturally distasteful but also living far, far away and anyway they’re only poor, brown people’ horror of just how appalling the lives of those EV ‘essential workers’ are? Better to keep quiet and hope their electorate don’t read anything more intellectual or emotionally challenging (or in any way factual!) than The Sun, the Mail and the Daily Express. That way, when confronted with the nasty facts, they can claim they ‘Had no idea’ how bad things really are – same as they always do.
