A new look

Jaguar’s strategy for the future is to sell electric cars – fewer of them but at an enormous price. The new car is only little; 4 feet 7 inches tall; and it doesn’t have a rear window. The roof slopes down at the back.
    There are 2 engines at the back and one at the front – so where does the luggage go? And it’s a 2½ ton pothole builder.

Skating on thinner ice

Labour’s Benefits Bulge has reached the point where cities like Birmingham receive twice as much in handouts as is received via income tax and national insurance.
    The total gap is £53 BILLION in England.

France is in severe competition with what passes for our government over which can create the biggest, most debt-laden shambles out of the national economy. The bond marketeers are loving it.

More Jonah’s curse

Manchester City FC is in trouble with the FA over the antics of the foreign owners. Man. Utd. is getting a good booting from the fans for grabbing season tickets which have been passed down generations of locals and selling tickets to day-trippers who spend more cash at Old Trafford.
    Football tourists are more valued than genuan fans as an individual match ticket yields 59% more income than what a season ticket holder pays.

File under ‘B’ for Boneheaded

Anyone seen the plot? President $thump has lost it – as confirmed it with his rant at the president of Ukraine for failing to surrender to Put’n the Poisoner’s attack and driving the price of diesel fuel up in the Untied States to a level that costs $thump lotz of votes.
● Nothing to do with his own failure to sort out Iran, of course.
