A point well made; not all fascists are Nazis.

Through a gritted-toothed smile, I enjoy small acts of defiance.

Even though it is barely 4kms to work, it is sometimes too cold in the winter to take my scooter, so I use Miles cars which are essentially app-controlled hire vehicles with are metered by the distances travelled. It costs barely a fiver each way.

Given the amount of offices and the courts nearby, they are available in abundance each morning. My, how I enjoy walking past his widely-known as Swasticar vehicles to take up another offer instead.

OK, it's usually a VW, but let's not get into that.

Are these Uber type mini cabs or hire cars you drive yourself?

Paywalled, but the title is mad enough for me. Who is Fred Lucas? I bet he thought Obama was "imperial".
Elon Musk’s DOGE is already succeeding
Previous commissions were bipartisan affairs. But it may take a much more aggressive approach to seriously cut government spending
Previous efforts were probably bipartisan because Congress allocates funds, Fred. That's not changed just because the President has put his mate Elmo in charge of an office.

How long are the Telegraph going to pretend this is just normal blokes taking a rational view of the state?

Just like hire cars, only available where the last renter left them within the business area. I pay fifty euros a month in winter, which is effectively a prior commitment to that level of spend, and pay +/- 79 cents per km on regular hires. Insurance and fuel are included. There is a 1€ unlocking fee via the app which pinpoints their availability. Plus, every car is maintained to the highest standards - they are mainly VAGs plus a few Fords and Opels with a smattering of Cupras and toSSlers. They all have posh wireless and a screen for all sorts of other fairly uninteresting gubbins which I don't bother with.

I just took one this evening to meet a mate in the pub. It was a Corsa which went off like a ten-bob rocket and set me back just over a fiver. Having had several scoops, the bus journey home has cost me €3,80. OK, I was on my tod but for two people or more, the savings are obvious.

That's a Zip Car in London; d-i-l uses them after getting rid of her car - it works out a lot cheaper, apparently. But they do have another car for long journeys, trips abroad.
