The amount of rubbish the Media is producing the banned subject, will have Gobells spinning in his grave.
According to the BBC, the UK car industry is on the road to destruction, because Jaguar, is laying of people. Somehow they have linked the layoffs to Bxxxxxx and not the fact that people are not buying diesels.
I attend a local camera club and one of my friends paid his first visit t the club, since the club started the new season last Autumn.
I asked him why haven't you been before, busy was the reply, I am working all the hours available, weekends etc.
He was booked up to photograph a wedding in December, a wedding that he cannot make due to workload, he was arranging for one of the other members to take his place.
Oops, forgot to mention he was works for Toyota, at Burniston, Derbyshire.
The car plant cannot keep up with demand.

Re: Propoganda
Here in Oz we closed the last of our vehicle manufacturing plants 18 months ago.
We just could not sell them overseas, our basic costs were too high, and the local market is more interested in some of the overseas models.
We now import from a number of countries, Japan with Toyota and Nissan amongst the biggest but now Greta Wall from China is becoming the favorite of the tradies.
Good vehicles with diesel engines that are now very reliable.
Mate of mine bought one, half the price of a similar Japanese one.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
