"I’m talking about the scrappage payments being proposed by almost everyone linked to the motor industry: the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders(1), most of the big car firms(2), the AA(3) and the unions. Lord Mandelson is said to be a fan(4). They argue that drivers should be paid around £2000 a head to scrap their old cars and buy new ones. As well as saving the jobs of hundreds of thousands of workers, this, they say, will catalyse a low carbon transport revolution. It’s bunkum."

UK Budget Day and our Car Scrappage Scheme is born to boost our motor industry and our economy. Scrap a 10+yr old car and get £2000 towards a new one. Good news for all the countries we buy 80% of our cars from! (?)

When efforts at mending and wrappage
Can’t hide your tin lizzie is crappage
Then turn in your honey
And take the blood money
To buy a new friend with the scrappage.
