    Always boils down to the “If I buy a bigger car I’ll be safer!” fallacy. If I buy even bigger shoes I’ll be safer from injury in running! If I buy bigger and better trousers I will get less injured at work! If I buy a bigger phone I will get scammed less!

    I hope people in all the countries facing their initial “Yank Tank” fevers will vote someone in that is responsible enough to reverse this process. I recently sold my 2003 “Combi”-style car because it was simply too big, looking for something smaller has me left wanting but I’ll make do without a car for the time being.
