Slow, Slow Ban?

"Single Use Plastic Plates and Cutlery (Along With Polystyrene Cups) To Be Banned in England" thunders the headline (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/27/single-use-plastic-plates-and-cutlery-to-be-banned-in-england). Not so fast! The proposal might (it can always be delayed) go out for consultation this Autumn (Fall). If adopted, a ban could follow 'in a couple of years'. Quick to claim the credit. Glacially (remember them?) slow to act!
