Kind words indeed from Andrew English at the Telegraph Motoring desk. Many thanks.
As he says, sometimes books get overtaken by events, but the example he cites - of describing drivers of 4X4s as worse than paedophiles - is not uncommon. In fact I do indeed quote the ubiquitous George Monbiot as saying ‘a car is now more dangerous than a gun; flying across the Atlantic is as unacceptable, in terms of its impact on human well-being, as child abuse.’
But this update is all grist to the mill and more examples of this kind of degraded comparison - and moral grandstanding - are welcome.
