Can't believe what I've just read on the AutoExpress site:

==================================
* Cars For Work Scheme Extended *
Chancellor Gordon Brown is planning to provide cheap cars for the long term unemployed to hep them land jobs. The Cars for Work scheme that has helped jobseekers in Scotland will be extended nationwide. It provides cars worth £1,000 to unemployed people who are offered jobs but who cannot rely on public transport.
===================================

I guess the Government plan is to give people £1000 worth of car, and then claim it all back through Petrol and Parking-At-Work Taxes.

Completely Laughable!!
