Get an allotment
Woooaaa. Here’s a rather strange change in mood from Jeremy Clarkson.
i think he’s just entered ‘phase 1 – panic’ at the realisation that there are Limits to Growth.
In fact, he pretty much continues along the same theme when he was meant to be reviewing the new Vauxhall Insignia.
These, as I see them, are the facts. Planet Earth thought it had £10. But it turns out we had only £2. Which means everyone must lose 80% of their wealth. And that’s going to be a problem if you were living on the breadline beforehand.
Right now, there are two paths you can go down. You can either adopt the Irish attitude to the impending catastrophe and party like it’s 1999. In which case you are better off ignoring the Vauxhall and buying a 24ft Donzi speedboat instead.
Or you can actually start to make some sensible preparations for the complete breakdown in society. In which case you don’t want a Vauxhall either. Better to spend the money on a pair of shotguns and an allotment.
