Summary
This podcast should really be called why do politicians LOVE motorists!
It's because we are all big fat easy targets to squeeze more and more cash out of. Congestion charges, VAT, fuel tax, parking fees and fines ULEZ, green taxes, airport drop off charges!
We are being RIPPED OFF!
Meanwhile pot holes are getting bigger, congestion is worse than ever and public transport is failing.
Sir Keir Starmer says he isn't going to raise taxes on working people but what he's actually going to do is raise taxes on motoring and hammer all drivers.
He is a lying stinking hypocrite wearing flash suits paid for by another man.
Enough is enough. It is time for us motorists to fight back.

| 0:40.5 | It's a nightmare. Why on earth isn't it a six-lane motorway? Three lanes on either side. |
| 0:47.2 | Anyway, surviving the A-14 just, I then turned on to, is it the M-11, I think it is, that takes you down to Stansted. |
| 0:56.8 | Nightmare had only just begun. |
| 1:00.6 | To drop off at the airport or pick up, I was just picking up my daughter, it was a tenor, |
| 1:08.2 | ten whole British pounds. How can they justify it? Yeah, yeah, I know I've been |
| 1:15.1 | talking about it on Twitter today and people are saying, well, it's private land. Yeah, |
| 1:20.8 | but that's not an excuse, is it? The government should control this. Ten pound to pick up is |
| 1:26.7 | wrong. |
| 1:28.4 | It's outrageous. |
| 1:31.6 | It's a part of rip-off Britain. |
| 1:33.7 | So ten quid... I literally pulled into this layby. |
| 1:36.1 | She jumped in. |
| 1:37.0 | She was waiting for me |
| 1:37.9 | because you have to speak on the mobile phone, don't you? |
| 1:40.4 | To say, I'm coming in now, I'm coming in now. |
