Just found out about this. If you Google it and add the words BBC news nothing comes up.
The BBc clearly don't want to say anything bad about EV's

What about all the non EV cars that caught fire? Or is it just EV cars you are concerned about?

Agreed, plus missing out that the ship also has more ICE's on board than EV's, and has been put out.

Not seeing anything on the Disney channel.

Can’t believe the current affairs bias on there. I may have to give up watching Hannah Montana.

Spoiler, you might or might not be disappointed how that all turns out.

How do you deduce that from the ridiculous opening post? Attacking the BBC for a news item that no other outlets were reporting while implying it’s an EV issue with zero evidence.

OP should change their username to Imperial Ian or Whitworth Walter - Metric Max sounds far too modern / progressive.

No one could have predicted Billy Ray Cyrus getting together with Elizabeth Hurley. Shockingly, this also is not being reported by the BBC.

I thought the thread title was a reference to Blade Runner.

Metric Minger sounds a bit more old school though.

Normally you can't as much as light a BBQ in Belgium without it being all over the 6 o'clock news, but THEY don't want us to know the TRUTH about this.

Such a lot of angry people.
All I did was to point out thet there had been a fire on a ship.
I wonder how many of the angry people who responded have an EV?
Yes I am old and will continue to drive my 3L E6 diesel car
That’s not at all what you did, the fact you still don’t realise after so many posters pointing it out to you is rather pitiful. I’ll continue to drive my 911 and RRS, so fking what.
