#BrownCarGuy – News, Views & Reviews!
So this weekend, I was at the fantastic West London Classics Show and Shine car event in Southall. Chatting with a few folks there, the topic of the proposed paving tax for London households came up. Their reactions indicated utter confusion and disbelief. Clearly, this news hasn’t reached everyone yet, so I figured I’d do a video about it.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt delivered his budget today (6 March 2024), probably the last budget before the General Election (and of the current Conservative Government?) – so what was in it for the motorist? Good news or bad. What seems like positive news, keeping the freeze on fuel duty, a closer examination by the RAC reveals, it’s not all as great as it seems.
In this podcast video, I speak to Simon Fawthrop, Conservative Councillor for Petts Wood & Knoll, Orpington, about where the situation with ULEZ currently stands, how anti-motorists and anit-car policies will lose elections, crime in London, why protests should be about policy not personality and the revelation that TFL is sending our data to Argentina, India and Israel! Fascinating discussion in the back of a famous Pink London Taxi which you can hire – just go to this Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100076632528620
Just watched the UK Spring Budget (March 2023) and there’s a couple of bits of good news for motorists in today’s Spring Budget announcement by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt.
