    Misleading article of the day

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/n...-34-years.html

    Car production in the UK soared by the most for 34 years in December, a clear signal that the economy could have emerged from recession in the final three months of 2009.



    So nothing to do with:

    A. VAT about to rise 2.5%
    B. An end to the government using taxpayers money to bribe people to buy a pointless new car they probably didn't need.


    No, it's proof Britain is booming.

    In the news this morning it was announced car production in 2009 was 30-something % lower than 2008.

      On one hand the government wants us to produce less greehouse gases, on the other they want to produce new cars - which probably creates more CO2 than just keeping the current cars on the road. And, they used my money to do it. Rubbish.
