The John Lewis Christmas ad this year is back 'on message' and paints a depressing but sadly accurate picture of a modern Britain of dysfunctional families, bratty kids and failed parenting, says Lee Taylor. dailysceptic.org/2026/11/04/…

What would the men who came home from the Somme and Normandy make of a poppy sold in different versions?
They wore one flower for every comrade they lost, no matter who he was.
It was enough for them. It should be enough for us.
Not every brand needs an extension.

Jaguar’s boss says criticism of the Type 01 is “very British”.
It isn’t knocking a British brand. It’s grief. We wanted a beautiful electric Jaguar, and we still do.
Our eulogy for the Jaguar we loved:

The Jaguar many of us grew up wanting, the one that made you turn your head in a car park, has gone.
Somewhere, a design studio is already sketching its replacement.
The only question is whose badge it will wear.

Jaguar always sold desire. Status, beauty, belonging: the innate drives that made people want one.
The rebrand traded all of that for “copy nothing”, and left the door open for a rival to build the Jaguar we still want.

Jaguar launched its electric future by hiding the car and moving past its own fans.
Toyota launched its electric Hilux by dropping a caravan on it, exactly like Top Gear did in 2003, because its fans voted for that.
One brand treated its history as baggage. The other dropped it from height.
