The Green Alliance thinktank tells peers in the House of Lords the actor's views are "damaging" to the government's plans for phasing out petrol and diesel vehicles.
I think in general we should hold people accountable for the things they say, but have you read what Atkinson wrote? He didn’t lie, he presented his opinion and recommendation. I disagree with some of what he said, but I understand where he’s coming from.
Not to mention he makes a point of putting his credentials at the top of the article. He’s got education and experience that are informing his opinions, and he made them in a reasonable way without attacking anyone else.
If the government listened to his feedback and took steps to mitigate it - like making leases be a minimum of five years rather than three - it would be one thing. But they’re just dismissing everything he says.

Yep, the clickbait here is terrible, he’s only being reasonable even if you can disagree with the minutiae of what he said.
