Amsterdam's head of transport has announced plans to ban petrol and diesel cars in the city by 2030.

The clean air action plan aims to make the Dutch capital a "world leader in emission-free transport".

Transport chief Sharon Dijksma said residents "live a year less on average due to dirty air" and that the plan should "prolong the health of the average Amsterdammer by three months."

But the plan has already incited strong reactions in the Netherlands with one motoring organisation branding it "bizarre" and wondering how normal people would afford electric cars.

The plan, which would be applied 20 years before the Paris Agreement aims to slash greenhouse gas emissions, would require up to 23,000 electric charging points by 2025. The city currently has 3,000.

    Ahh hello there!

    I was wondering where you went.
    I was hoping you could counter VLM's anti-muslim bias and entertain us all some more.

    But, yes, you're absolutely right I'm an agent of the JIDF.
    The Sanhedron sent me here to Utah to convert everyone to Judaism, with my stunning charisma, my gap teeth and my hairy obese body.
    But in the process I fake converted to Mormonism and got disillusioned, then ended up disfellowshipped and now no one wants to hear me out.

    Since that time I have been stalking you. Reporting back home to the mothership about your incredible insight into us.
    We're all very interested in how you learned of our master plan.

    Either that, or I'm bored at work and I find being a face for your impotent vitrol and foaming at the mouth entertaining.
    Not really sure which, I'll let you decide.

    Bored at work, or getting paid for work not done?

    You khazar jews print money, others have to earn it. Go back to your JIDF handler/boss and tell him not to send you here again.

      Meh, my handler is too busy to care what you think. Anyways we here at the JIDF get more excitement from watching you. Obviously you have time to be here literally contributing nothing of value to society and wasting the perfectly good air in your moms basement. What exactly are you doing for her that she pays you so much? We would all like to know.

      Ok so on a serious note, I am here because we heard you are actually having problems with shall we say handling manhood.

      Where exactly did the bad man touch you?
      Would you like a doll so all you have to do is point?
