A cop car at a McDonald’s drive-thru. A scene from gritty New York, New York? Well no. I captured this Ford Crown Victoria with (I’m not sure how authentic) NYPD livery at the McD’s at Long Sutton, west of King’s Lynn in Norfolk in the UK. AIUI the Crown Vic was very popular with US law enforcement but I don’t know whether this is a genuine Police Interceptor spec model or just a dressed up standard car. Not sure how it ended up in rural England…

While I have sympathy for the #USA when it comes to dealing with unfair trade imbalances. One dumb aspect really sticks out. The reason that companies like #Ford (Trump mentioned them) do not sell many #US made cars in #Europe is that they have vast assembly lines in the #EU that make ones we actually want to buy here. Also #GM sold its failing European operations to #Stellantis, who turned it around almost instantly.
