An inventor claiming to be the lovechild of John DeLorean - the creator of the car popularised by the Back to the Future film franchise - has been banned from continuing his own car business by a judge. Tyler DeLorean, who changed his name by deed poll from birth name Benjamin Granger, was ordered by London’s High Court to stop selling his own version of the DeLorean cars, which are constructed from the front of a three-wheeled Reliant Robin and the back of a pick-up truck, with gullwing doors. The DMC21 cars are advertised as coming with a “free hoverboard with every purchase” in reference to the famous films where the cars featured as a time machine. The High Court ordered Mr DeLorean to remove all references to the DeLorean brand from his cars, which he sold on his website for £20,000. He claimed that the cars were a “parody or pastiche” and that he should be allowed to continue selling them as a form of satire. Mr DeLorean says he is the son of John DeLorean , who set … [Read more...] about DeLorean ‘lovechild’ told to stop selling own Back to the Future cars

Ukraine war: ‘Likely Kyiv counterattack’ in Crimea, Kerch Bridge threat, Zaporizhzhia conditions
1. Crimea attacks 'likely part of Ukrainian counteroffensive' Explosions at key Russian positions in occupied Crimea on Tuesday were "likely part of a coherent Ukrainian counteroffensive to regain control of the west bank of the Dnipro River," according to the US think-tank the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). Meanwhile, British defence intelligence said that "Russian commanders will highly likely be increasingly concerned with the apparent deterioration in security across Crimea, which functions as a rear base area for the occupation". Detonations at an ammunition depot near Dzhankoi were continuing on Wednesday following the previous day's explosions and fires that Russia acknowledged were "an act of sabotage". It was a vivid reminder of Russia's vulnerability in Crimea and led to chaotic scenes when around 3,000 people had to be evacuated. "A nearby railway and electricity sub-station were also likely damaged," said the UK defence ministry's daily update, … [Read more...] about Ukraine war: ‘Likely Kyiv counterattack’ in Crimea, Kerch Bridge threat, Zaporizhzhia conditions

Tax cuts need to be matched by shrinking the size of the state
Economic policy failures often result from the simple confusion of money with output. Money is a unit of account, a store of value and a medium of exchange. It is useful only because it relates to something of value. Output, the goods and services we produce and consume, is what really matters. The difference is easy to show with a simple thought experiment. Suppose the lights go off in the UK this winter due to energy shortages. Would a tax cut that raises household disposable income turn the lights back on? No. Would a rise in the supply of fuel to power plants? Yes. Muddled thinking around money is the intellectual flaw behind debunked theories such as modern monetary theory, or the idea that every recession can be avoided with enough stimulus. Would-be prime ministers who seem to argue that debt-financed tax cuts are the panacea to Britain’s economic woes would do well to keep these basic principles in mind. Low taxes mainly benefit an economy in the long run when they … [Read more...] about Tax cuts need to be matched by shrinking the size of the state
