Could it be:
Bus Driver Syndrome. When an individual in a menial position takes a small amount of power or authority to the extreme.
There again, that might imply BJ would know something about buses - such as A/C that works.
Brexit, for once some facts.

Here is one for the resident troll

Hybrid car fiasco 'a kick in the face' for drivers
Ministers accused of 'greenwashing' as 2035 ban causes confusion among motorists
Hybrid car owners have been given a “kick in the face” by ministers, motoring bodies have said, as they warned that the surprise decision to ban the vehicles from sale in 2035 will “backfire”.
Tens of thousands of motorists who were incentivised by the government to buy hybrid cars believing they were an environmentally friendly option now fear their resale value will slump as the ban approaches.
Friends of the Earth accused ministers of “greenwashing” the public into believing they should buy hybrids, even though some models can produce higher CO2 emissions than new diesel cars.
But what's another bad decision, when they never seem capable of making good ones?

This man has really got it (whatever it may be). I’m brimming with confidence in him to pull this off. Doubters, just look at his track record.
Where did I leave my medicine. Last nights dose is beginning to wear off.
Dominic Raab will visit Australia, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia this week in a post-Brexit trade drive as Boris puts Global Britain into action!
We've always been bigger than a star on someone else's flag. Now it's time to tell the world: "We're back and open for business!"

‘I’ve never thought that hybrid cars are any good and would never have bought one.
Hopefully they’ll send somebody with him that knows where the United Kingdom is And can point to Dover on the map
They should’ve sent somebody capable like Grayling for instance.
Haven’t we come down in the world once upon a time we would’ve sent a Royal Navy fleet to impress the natives, now we can only afford the single half wit To mumble promises at them, And we have to hope the people that meet him haven’t been watching The way Boris and co-back out of deals and lie through their teeth in negotiations.
A sensible nation wouldn’t trust a word this man says
caveat emptor Indeed

I was rather hoping he might go and never return. But I guess with your billing, they'll know not to let him stay in any of those countries.
Does their definition include, for example, the Hyundai Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid? Or the BMW I3 with range extender?
Yes, they are all a blind alley and the government are right to exclude them from e-car benefits. They still pollute so cannot be a part of a zero carbon target. In fact BMW have discontinued the range extender i3, acknowledging this.
The scare story about loss of s/h value is just silly, they will still be in demand from some, especially when the new ones can no longer be bought. The same is true of s/h ic cars, the petrol heads will still want to stick with them and it wouldn't surprise me to see them fetching record second hand prices after 2035 with no new ic cars available. Scarcity pushes prices up.
It will be well beyond 2055 before the youngest among us see the last ic cars on our roads. Many of us will never see that day. Of course there won't be many fuel outlets, but that won't deter the petrol heads. It didn't over 100 years ago when the earliest drivers could only buy petrol in gallon cans from chemists.
.
It is also nonsensical that the government nonetheless continue to refuse to electrify the line from Cardiff to Swansea. They will be having extra-expensive special bi-mode trains...
And little has been heard of HGVs converting away from diesel. Am aware of the use of other fuels such as gases, but battery power seems to be some way off, to put it mildly.
You can always fit a bladder on the roof filled with gas of course
The Independent are right behind you Boris!
Boris and another bad day
Boris Johnson news – live: PM accused of ‘steering country off cliff’ after Gove says no need for EU trade deal, as climate change response labelled ‘amateur hour’
Is this what Boris Disaster Syndrome means?

Dont worry folks the "Wind powered " car is here, and there is a business oppottunity for an enterprising manufacturer of very, very tall garages!
Behold!
And there is also the Mercedes Project Zero
Which looks very much like a variant on the Land yachts that are regularly raced on the Elvington square mile and beaches of course.
Believe it or not a Pilot's licence after training is required to race a Land Yacht, as having no brakes, three wheels and ferocious acceleration, they are to say the least EXCITING to pilot.
I qualified at Elvington some years back, but I don't think I could face being up on two wheels at 75 mph with the end of the runway coming up and having to jibe to slow down as you have no fitted brakes! I have become a coward (or perhaps wiser) in my old age.
However if it's thrills you want, there is little to compare with racing a land yacht for thrills.

Ironically, one of the significant cost elements for rail electrification is the raising of bridges to allow clearance. Think they would only manage an extremely thin bladder... Maybe Durex make something thin enough to fit under the bridges?
They'll be next to be phased out...
Mind, seriously, there has been work on reducing flatulence in ruminants.
