I didn't say anything but thought, **** you, and carried on walking down the road for about 30 yards where I knew there was a footpath to turn into. It followed me, still at 2 feet away, and when I turned off it carried on in silence. I then noticed that its rear number plate had a green stripe on its left hand side. I have noticed a few of these plates recently and my son informs me that they are found on electric cars.
So it appears that electric car drivers have a green stripe to signal their smugness. I don't think there is anything to be smug about supporting slavery, including of children, in the extraction of Cobalt in the DRC, to manufacture the batteries.
