Matters of the Moment   
Lord March, after announcing across social media his personal crusade to eliminate cheating from historic motorsport, has really set the cat among the pigeons. Single-handedly his Lordship could possibly bring about the collapse of what is one of the UK‘s most respected industries and, at the same time, put a lot of talented engineers out of a job. Like most political declarations, it‘s not been thought through.
