We read that Land Rover confirms new version of its Defender model, according to the BBC.

Good news, it seems? Innovation? Progress?

The current Defender was first introduced in 1948 and has gone on to enjoy sales of more than two million around the world.

Its basic design has changed little over the past six decades.

..but it isn’t. What al-Beeb doesn’t tell us we have to learn instead from the Financial Times (Subscription needed):

JLR is retiring the current Defender because its carbon dioxide emissions are too high to meet stricter European Union rules on CO2.

Of course the BBC are partly funded by the EU specifically to encourage the spreading of propaganda, so is it any surprise that our taxpayer-funded news service only selectively reports the news it sees fit?
