Times in the UK are tough. The wonderful Jaguar may soon suffer a name change to “Tatamobile.” Should that happen, this venerable brand would lose much of its patina. And so, a farewell song:

JAG-U-AR
by Denton Fenders

If you’re not feeling worthy don’t
Go moping in some bar,
Just sit behind the steering wheel
Of your new Jag-u-ar.
The best revenge is living well -
It hits them in their pride.
While their cloth seats show ugly spots,
Your leather’s clean, inside.

Jag, Jag, Jag, Jag, Jag-u-ar,
You’re a highway superstar.
You’re on top – that’s where you are,
When you drive your Jag-u-ar!

At your reunion they will know
That you have gone quite far,
When you block their means of escape
With your new Jag-u-ar.
And let them know by God’s Great Grace
This car you can afford,
Before they drive home in disgrace
In their old klunking Fords!

Jag, Jag, Jag, Jag, Jag-u-ar,
You’re a highway superstar.
You’re on top – that’s where you are,
When you drive your Jag-u-ar!

But please be careful where you park,
Or you might get a scar:
The vermin don’t respect the space
Around your Jag-u-ar.
If they park close, just tow them off
Then beat them ’til they bleed.
Teaching manners to driving scum
Is such a noble deed!

Jag, Jag, Jag, Jag, Jag-u-ar,
You’re a highway superstar.
You’re on top – that’s where you are,
When you drive your Jag-u-ar!

It is not an either /or, problem. Icelanders took to the streets almost everyday to force a general election. Mass action is hard to predict. Facebook groups may be larglely tokenistic but that maybe because, the oppositional groups are too marginalised. What if the dollar and pound sink. The situation will be unprecedented and there seems to be very little leadership out there up to the challenge. I don’t think the forms of activism is the problem. It is not an either /or, problem.
