Last time I checked, MPs were preparing to blow “at least £12billion” refurbishing their already lavish London workplace, the houses of Parliament. They also said yes to burning about £100billion on HS2, which many of them will use, all-expenses-paid, when travelling from home to London and back. Those same MPs and others will set the licence fee we pay, the main funding for the state broadcaster, whose microphones and studios are conveniently exploited by politicians peddling their policies, propaganda and idle promises.

That’s billions of our pounds chucked around, just on a building refurb, a new railway, and funding the BBC. but might some, or most, of this public money be more wisely and productively invested in the BCC – the British car company – which I’m proposing, and the UK government could part-fund?

Honda confirms sale of Swindon factory

Why? To create vast numbers of proper, permanent and worthwhile jobs where folk earn decent salaries and, in turn, pay taxes. The UK has lately been losing too many of its once-busy car factories. big players such as MG Rover (RIP), Ford and Peugeot stopped making cars here a decade or three ago. Tragically, Honda will exit this summer when it closes its Swindon production line. And, after being bought/caught by a far Eastern firm this month, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that the tiny but still tasty minnow Caterham could build its cars overseas.
