    I read The Times article, this is what I like about Jezza, a spade is a spade, wouldn't it be good if our leaders were as honest to themselves, nevermind the public. Sadly it will never happen.

    icon1.gif Mr Clarkson became even more gloomy in yeterday's times.

    A seemingly innocuous review of the new vauxhall insignia turned into a call for the four horsemen of the apocalypse to saddle up.

    Scary reading :

    Just read that - Clarkson has gone up a notch in my estimation. That puts him at 1 notch.

    Quite perceptive, though as usual he's over-egging the pudding for dramatic effect. But it does give a good indication of how bad things are going to get. This is no simple economic dip, the problems are systemic.
