The Roaches Have It – A Rant Against the World’s So-Called Leaders

The system is so broken that we need to reset, reboot, and rethink everything. But our last best hope could be no hope at all

Stop picking sides, think real hard, and you’ll come to the only truth on the table: we are not being led. We are being dragged, shoved, mocked, manipulated, and sometimes exterminated by a global cabal of narcissists, opportunists, and cosplay emperors.

With the latest spat between Trump and Musk playing out like a cross between WWE and the Jeremy Kyle Show, it’s clearer than ever that modern politics is no longer governance – it’s merely gladiatorial pantomime, broadcast in real time across TikTok and Twitter, where tantrums trend before the tea time news bulletins.

Congestion Charge Carnage in London

The War on Drivers Just Escalated!

Here we go again. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for London’s drivers, Transport for London (TfL)has proposed yet another stinger to your wallet – and this one might be the final straw. Under the finite wisdom of our Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, the Congestion Charge is set to be hiked from £15 to a staggering £18 per day from 2 January 2026. That’s a 20% increase, in case you’re counting – but don’t worry, there’s more to this tale of a convoluted tide of motoring misery.

Welcome to London’s Paywall. Because let’s be honest, that’s exactly what this is becoming.

10MPH Speed Limits in Cities? Are They Having a Laugh?!

A charity, a Road Safety Foundation, is proposing 10mph speed limits – seriously?!

Sometimes the news hits you with something so utterly ridiculous, so mind-meltingly daft, you can’t ignore it. So here we are. Hold onto your steering wheels. Because apparently, 20mph wasn’t slow enough – now they want to cut urban speed limits to 10mph. Yes, TEN. And no, check the date below, this is not an April Fool’s Day post.

UK Car Industry in Crisis!

“Existential Threat” – SMMT Boss Mike Hawes Doesn’t Hold Back on UK Auto Industry Crisis

Some speeches are polite, PR-friendly affairs filled with vague optimism and corporate buzzwords. Not this one. Mike Hawes, Chief Executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), came out swinging at SMMT Test Day 2025 with what felt more like a rallying cry for survival than a standard industry update. “The industry faces an existential threat,” Hawes warned. And if that sounds dramatic — well, good. It should. Because the message he delivered was clear: the UK automotive sector is on a cliff edge, and we’re running out of road fast.

UK Car Trade Deal US & India

Two trade deals in one week could save uk car factories and jobs

UK Car Industry F#@KED!

Why Trump’s Tariffs Could Be the Final Blow

It’s official: the British car industry – what’s left of it – is on its knees. And now, thanks to Trump’s fresh round of protectionist punishment, it might finally be flatlined. According to a blistering Financial Times report, UK luxury carmakers – including Aston Martin, Bentley, Jaguar Land Rover, and McLaren – are staring down the barrel of a 25% US import tariff. The fallout? A potential 25,000 job losses right here in Blighty.

HEMI V8 is BACK?!

Have Dodge & RAM Just Done the UNTHINKABLE?!

Somebody pinch me – or just whack me with a wrench – am I imagining this? Or is it just wishful thinking? Could the HEMI V8, yes, that glorious, thunderous, petrol-drinking, tyre-shredding beast of an engine, which only last year was laid to rest with full honours and a 21-gun salute… could it actually be coming back to life? And I don’t just mean in slammed into a Restomod in a dodgy backstreet garage, but reportedly, potentially (and quite likely) from Stellantis themselves?!
