To combat so called 'Global Warming' and Carbon Emissions they're talking about banning black cars. I did check, and April 1st is still a few days away.

Imagine the uproar and furore from the "They're only banning the black ones. Oh my God that's so racist" brigade if they tried it over here.

What if its a black solar powered car?

Aren't solar panels dark anyway?

Edit - bah..

Yeah, April 1st come early.

Just what the hell?

Does sound quite reasonable tbh in sunny climates. (assuming it does result in a meaningful reduction through lower climate control usage.)

Sounds dumb enough to be "New Labour" policy. Has Gordo been whispering in a few trans-Atlantic ears, perhaps?
