Seeing is believing

Just take a look at the picture above.

All of those 'dots' are unsold cars sitting in gigantic car park in Sheerness waiting for people to buy them.

Fortunately, Lord Rio of Hinduja has a plan to flog them off. Well, he'd better be quick. All of these giant car parks are filling up quicker than you can say, "Passports for sale".

Maturin Towers also wonders how Lord Rio's plans to expand car ownership through tax-paid subsidies tie in with earlier government plans to restrict car ownership through punitive taxation?

No doubt there is some joined-up-government-thinking going on here. If anyone spots what it is, would you mind filling me in with the details? Or are they just a bunch of idiots who are making it up as they go along?

Well - at the very least they might get an Arts Council grant to park them in such a way that they make a pretty pattern visible from passing aircraft!

I think this one might be worth a grant:
