In the wake of Dubya's loans to the American Big Three, our Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has told our car industry that it ain't getting any state aid. I must be getting dementia or something. Not only did I agree with his Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, a few weeks ago but now I find myself agreeing with Mr 'No Charisma'. This is quite worrying.
I do think he is right. What 'British' car industry are we talking about here? You mean the one that is almost entirely foreign owned? Let their foreign parents bail them out; they are all too quick to axe British jobs when it suits them.
Strange isn't it but at my time of life, people expect one to get more right wing. I think I am going pink. Tata, a giant Indian company wants some help now that it has bought Jaguar and Land Rover while H R Owen, a dealer, says sales of Alfa Romeos and Lamborghinis have plummeted as City bankers cut back on spending. Christ, it's only 9 days since they hosted a party for 200 Lambo drivers.
And it's only three days ago, that Tata announced that it was backing the Ferrari Formula 1 team and that's just days after Honda pulled out of F1 saying that it could not afford it. Well in Honda's case, the real reason was probably that their team was fucking useless but you do have to wonder what Tata take us for. Raving bloody imbeciles?
My message to the lot of them would be just the same as Marie Antoinette's - Let them eat cake.
