Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson is back in the news after his spoof Volkswagen Scirocco ad touched a raw nerve among the “politically correct” crowd. Ok. The ad DOES draw on WWII memories with German tanks overrunning Warsaw… but please… a joke’s a joke…...

Two op articles this weekend (Josanne Cassar and Mark Anthony Falzon) dealt with noise pollution in Malta and our inability to control any of it. One particular form of noise pollution is a direct result of neanderthals “pimping” their car in order to get a growl out of their...
