Are diesel cars and bitcoin being demonised?

By This is Money

Britain’s car industry is crying foul, as not a single new diesel car avoids the Budget tax hike because the test they have to pass hasn’t come in yet.

Car makers claim that new diesels are fine, but can we believe them? Meanwhile, campaigners want extra taxes and a serious crackdown on diesel drivers, but it’s ended up with councils leading the way with a piece-meal approach.

Who should we believe, has the drive to get rid of diesel gone too far, and is it employing bad science?

This week, Simon Lambert, Tanya Jefferies and Georgie Frost drive into the murky world of diesel cars.

And also on the show, we look at a victory for those with small annuities and how to invest for income with ETFs.

Former hedge fund manager Lars Kroijer explains why you should stop trying to beat the market and just be a passive investor.

Or if that’s not for you, how about joining the bitcoin boom?

We look at what on earth is going on with the cryptocurrency rollercoaster and the gold Rolls-Royce that you can buy for £117,995 but it must be paid for in bitcoin.

And you might be surprised quite how little bitcoin you’d need to have bought at the start of 2017, to buy that Roller now.

Enjoy.
