Cont: Luton Airport Car Park Fire IV

Not if it's clear that isn't your opinion.

I don't think she's enough of an idiot to not understand the reality of the situation.
 
It's a lie because no one is buying your claim that you are genuinely so obtuse as to be incapable of discerning the difference between saying we think it was a diesel at this point and we are now certain it was a diesel.

Is it also your opinion that diesel fuel requires high pressure to be ignited, or that the floor in the second video was sloped the wrong way? Making a false claim isn't magically rectified by declaring that your opinion is that it's true.

As I later concurred, the slope was an optical illusion because of perspective.

The make, model and year of the vehicle has not been released. The stuff about 'probably an electrical fault in the engine bay' is what an AA boff opined 11 Oct 2023, so not 'new information', either.

Bear in mind, early hybrid models were listed by DVLA as diesel or petrol powered, so despite being registered as 'diesel' - if indeed it was a 2014 model - that does not preclude it having a mild lithium battery.

I do not see why the vehicle model is exempt from FOI disclosure. So I shall await the report to understand why it is exempt and why the fire in the video looks like a lithium one.

Irrelevant. You have contacted the custodian of that information and you have been given the reason why they believe it is exempt. You have provided nothing in response except your fingers-in-ears denials and disbelief. They, not you, are the authority on exemption.

So I shall await the report to understand why it is exempt and why the fire in the video looks like a lithium one.

Irrelevant.

You are not competent to determine by looking at a video whether the fire depicted is being fueled by a lithium ion battery. The indicators you claim tell this to you are not observed by any other person.

Your opinion of the character of the fire in your convenience sample of video is irrelevant because competent authority has confirmed officially that the car was powered by diesel and not by any sort of battery.

You are clearly not waiting for the report to insinuate that competent authority in this case is lying and continues to lie about the fuel source of the vehicle. You disingenuously refuse to reconcile this insinuation.

You wrongly assume the reason for denial of your FOI request will or must be included in the final report of the investigation.
 
You straight-up lied when you said I had questioned Vorderman's engineering credentials.

You're not finished, Vixen. You have claimed as part of your arguments here that you are governed by high ethical principles. Yet weeks and many posts later, I am still waiting for you to admit that you lied when you accused me of "sneering" at Vorderman's engineering credentials, and to apologize forthrightly for having done so. This is pursuant to your repeated explicit request that I provide examples.

Now that you have made your personal integrity a source of legitimate inquiry, this will not go away.

You claimed I did not know what a blind trust was.

Irrelevant.

I am still waiting for you to own that you lied when you accused me of "sneering" at Vorderman's engineering credentials, and to apologize forthrightly for having done so. You made it relevant by asserting your personal integrity as the answer to a rebuttal, and by insisting on examples to support others' objections to that assertion. That you are now unable to reconcile your brazen assertion with the inarguable facts of the examples you demanded is no one's fault but yours.

They have not 'lied', they have presented what they consider to be a true and fair view of what Mr. Hopkinson said on 11 October 2023.

Nonsense.

In an official press statement, and also in direct reply to an FOI request, they have clearly stated that the car was a diesel. This cannot be dismissed as a rehash of the October press conference.

Please could you tell me if the fire at Luton airport multi-storey car park was started by an electric vehicle


Following the fire at London Luton Airport terminal car park 2 on the 10 October 2023, a multi-agency investigation is currently being conducted. At this time, we can confirm the vehicle involved was a diesel-powered vehicle. To further clarify it was neither a fully electric vehicle (EV), a mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) nor a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). More information on the incident and cause of the fire will be released once the investigation has been concluded.
 
In my opinion, each so-called press release is simply a reiteration of what was said at the sole press conference 11 Oct 2023.

Well, they definitely aren't, so you're wrong to say so. And it's been explained often enough why you're wrong, so you're not unwittingly wrong, i.e. making a mistake, you're deliberately wrong, i.e. telling a lie.
 
I can foresee there will be a major row when the report comes out with all kinds of finger pointing and questions and White Papers raised in parliament as a result.

I'll bet you a quarter not.
