It's a simple enough question.
How would all that food get to Tesco if motorists didn't take it there?
Are you going to answer the question or not?

He's never answered any other perfectly sensible question put to him yet -
can't see him changing his ways at this stage of the game.

"Embedded emissions" - emissions associated with bringing in products -
is one of the areas we have not done at all well on according to the
latest figures. Aviation and embededded emissions, ring any bells?

He has answered it a while ago, according to the great man trucks used for
food deliveries are OK because they are used for the common good and cars
used for essential workers are also OK under the same common good blanket.
He has yet to define the limits of 'common good'.

Even if that kid being taken to school lives way out in the countryside
because his parents run a farm to grow food locally to save all those
food miles imported food does in aeroplanes...?
Oh, wait. Sorry, I forgot. People can't survive on food grown in the UK,
can they?

Ok, so start with sending kids to their local school instead of getting
to pick and choose

Good, we are starting to get somewhere.
You approve of the motorists who deliver food to supermarkets in lorries.
Obviously these motorists need to get to their lorries somehow at the start
of their shifts, and it has always been policy to site distribution centres
and HGV operating centres away from populated areas for environmental
reasons.
So the Tesco driver will almost certainly have travelled to work by car. Do
you approve or disapprove of this?
