A Bright Future for Land Rover

Having been a doom sayer over many years for the economic crash that we are now experiencing this blog has recently been trying to find cheerful matters to report to maintain its role as the antithesis of the state-controlled mainstream media. Hence the absence of any posting last Sunday and Monday when gloom seem to be the sole available theme and the car industry in particular the latest centre for doomsday scenarios! Good news, however, lies behind the headlines for Land Rover and their West Midlands suppliers. The Snatch Land Rovers designed for the use of security forces in Northern Ireland have been subject to much criticism (mainly on the EU Referendum blog) for their continued use in Iraq and Afghanistan where their lack of protection against roadside bombs has allowed successive British Defence Ministers to continue the senseless slaughter of considerable numbers of brave British soldiers and marines. The Snatch Land Rovers in their original role are however ideal for the suppression of civil dissent in urban environments. Greece now shows, following the apparently deliberate destruction of the West's economic system, how widespread such dissent is likely to be as money runs out and the powerfully placed individuals who brought us to this point strive to protect their ill got pensions and perks amongst massive austerity. With a crippled pound sterling the Land Rover maker will NOW be able to adapt and provide anti-riot vehicles for the entire EU block at prices unbeatable by any foreign competition. Jaguar, on the other hand, might best consider a low-cost armoured vehicle mass production run for the transport of the lower levels of the privileged public employee classes who even with their massively unearned incomes will be still unable to afford the hugely expensive Mercedes alternative.
