Bloodhound supercar is 'recession beater', says promoter
Government plans to turn the UK's foundering financial-services-based economy into a high tech, engineering powerhouse were showcased today in London.
The "Pioneers 09" expo was opened by Richard Noble, the man in charge of the new Bloodhound supersonic car project. However, there was also news of an even more inspring flagship piece of technology, based on a deep knowledge of breast-squeezing.
Noble argued that rumblings of the current economic death spiral have been evident for years, as the UK forsook proper manufacturing and industry for increasingly dubious financial dealings. "There's been a sense for a long time now that engineering, manufacturing, these are messy Third World skills - and to be a high earner you should follow media studies and law," said the famous land-speed-record kingpin.
