Charging stations for electric cars are being set up in Cirencester.

One is at Waitrose and I believe there are others being planned elsewhere in the town.

Do residents know that children in the Congo are being sent down mines to extract cadmium and lithium to run these monstrosities? This is not only bad for the environment but even worse is slave labour and downright cruelty to children!

The government must know this but do the installers and purchasers of these vehicles. They should!

This is greed, power, downright inhuman and horrific!
