It was with a mixture of anger and incredulity, that I read of Tax and Waste Browns’ decision to elect to buy a new Toyota Prius as opposed to a Jaguar, as his new ministerial car.
I am sure this is a precursor to him raising more taxes from the beleagured motorist, under the guise that he is now a cuddly eco friendly vote winning chancellor. Fat chance.
He should have been making a far more important statement: supporting the 25,000 or so workers making cars in England. What is wrong with this country when our ‘leaders’ make such appalling decisions? It’s not that the Prius is a bad car – actually I think it superb – but can you honestly ever imagine a German or French leader not buying a car produced locally from a national manufacturer?
Thought not.
