Driving aspiration

So, in a bid to target middle-class voters, Jonah McDoom says:

A fair society is one where everyone who works hard and plays by the rules has a chance to fulfil their dreams whether that's owning a bigger house, taking a holiday abroad, buying a new car or starting a small business.
WTF, buying a new car? Surely this can’t be the same Labour Party where John Prescott said his mission in life was to get people out of their cars, and which has spent the last thirteen years relentlessly persecuting motorists through turning roads into obstacle courses, jacking up fuel duty, installing thousands of speed cameras, slashing speed limits and cutting the roads programme to the marrow. Surely the car has no place in a true Socialist utopia where the happy workers catch the bus to their job at the tractor factory.
