THOUSANDS of people who bought a Volkswagen are signing up with the law firm of Ambulance, Chase and Run saying they’ve been emotionally scarred by the news that their car’s emission figures were all faked.

This means, and it’ll be hysterical to watch, that they must all stand up in court with oniony eyes and snivelly noses and explain to the judge that they weren’t interested in how much their car cost or how many miles to the gallon it did – only the impact it would have on Johnny Polar Bear.

It’s reckoned that if they put in a particularly good performance, they could trouser around three grand. Not bad for a morning’s work.

I’m not siding here with VW. They cheated. They lied. And they were caught. But I do think we need a bit of perspective. It’s not like they sold a car that they knew would explode or crash into a tree.
