Paving Tax Fury | Defending Petrolheads against Media Stereotyping

- Were you aware of a controversial new proposal to tax people's driveways? A Driveway Tax?! Turns out not many know about it, so I decided to do this video, but then discovered @GeoffBuysCars terrifically passionate video on the same topic, except in it he highlighted a stunningly shocking comment article from the Evening Standard.
The column unfairly labels petrolheads as right-wing climate deniers and more! I’ll break down the proposed tax, its implications, and why this narrative is both misleading, damaging and blatantly incorrect.
I’ll also address how car culture is being unjustly targeted and the broader implications for motorists and homeowners. Let’s set the record straight on what this tax means for everyday Londoners.
Whether you’re a car lover or just curious about this hot topic, this video offers a balanced perspective on the paving tax debate.

Politicians are literally pissing on you and telling you it's raining and then taxing you for it.
Umbrella tax then shhh don't tell em.
We need safer streets to walk and live on , not permeable drive ways , these priorities are a joke .
As I commented on Geoff's channel: So you'll need a driveway to charge up your EV in post ICE 2035, and pay tax on that EV, tax on it being a 40k plus car, tax on congestion, tax on the air, and now a tax on the driveway....whatever the problem is, magical taxation will fix it.
And still.. we pay, then look over at French reactions in disgust and say "we are better than that.." are we though? At least they will do something, we seem to just apply more lube and take more and more shafting.
Khan needs to be removed he's losing it he's creating more enemies for himself
People didn't want that in May.
I'd avoid everything inside the M25.
I think SK is just finding his feet after his new mandate from Londoners!
You’re welcome to him!
Now if only all non voters that couldn’t be bothered to get off their backsides to vote had actually voted then you could’ve elected someone else!
Khan world needs to go
Simple answer why they always put the blame on the public and hit us, they hate the public and don’t want personal vehicles. Great Vlog Shahzad 👍🏾
People that drive old cars are some of the kindest, most generous people in society. That article is completely unfair.
I AGREE!!
Tax this, tax that… it all sounds a bit mediaeval to me.
The difference is you have common sense and the government don't.
WTAF! It seems to me that the lunatics are taking over the asylum!
Have been increasingly for years!!
Ahhh you've woken up, want a cuppa tea kidda.
I just want to be left alone to run and maintain my 20 year old car. My wife also enjoys driving an old manual vehicle and has no interest in a new EV. Its got nothing to do with petro masculinity. its just about people wanting to be left alone to get on with their lives. They are sooo out of touch.
Yet they build impervious cycle lanes with the funds allocated to councils for drainage and potholes…!
cycling is good for you
Is anyone surprised that more taxes are appearing under Labour??
So another words the roads will James up with cars I blame these people that voted for karn and now this Labour government the people get what they voted for
Parking permits 😉
This should be viral news.
We were the 4th richest country 20 years ago, but the Tories have dropped us to 6th.
Eek!
Let’s wait to see how much further we drop over the next five years.
Labour helped them massively.
Think what would have been tony Blair's labour government that did that when they bankrupted the country in 2008
Err, ever heard of Labour's 2008 Crash, which affected Britain much worse than the quarter of the world who'd allowed a property bubble to develop. The same property bubble current day Labour want to create, with a massive rise in housebuilding & PFI financed property projects.
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
Great video. I think we will need to brick up our windows as they must be trying to figure out how they bring back the WINDOW TAX
So, you pay more money to park off-road or you add to roadside parking congestion. It's just a further attack on the motorist with the idea of poorer people being priced out of or frustrated enough to give up on car ownership. Freedom of movement only for those who can afford it. And those that can't and complain are labelled in the worst possible ways.
They attack capitalism while only successful capitalists will be able to ignore the added costs. They attack men while ignoring that private car ownership improves passenger safety, which arguably benefits women more than men. They attack men while ignoring the large number of women petrolheads and that most car buying decisions are now made by women. Etc etc etc!
I guess the electro-masculine motorists also have paved driveways. No mention of them in this unhinged article.
The stereotyping is offensive.
WHERE do you find an evening standard? I haven’t seen one in years.
Shazad is as polite as ever, and FAR less confrontational than I. I have been incensed by state overreach since Bliar was brought to power in ‘97. When that “man” began taxing our energy bills to “subsidise” the development of “renewable” energy. Those buzzwords were designed to obtain public compliance while the parasites in office were WELL aware the tax wouldn’t do ANYTHING to develop “renewables”. The government then, now, and in between are well aware they are LYING to their electorate. The state want total compliance from the people who pay their wages. It is ALL about POWER AND CONTROL. Shazad rightly observes how ordinary people are bled dry by politicians and bureaucrats they are meant to nurture and protect. And for thirty years they have done the exact opposite, using the climate hysteria to oppress humanity and humanities behaviour because these parasites get off on exercising power.
In 1951, after bestowing the country with a NHS, social security system and various other bribes to voters with their own money, the Labour party were voted out for the next decade and more. Why? Although it’s not covered by Wikipedia, the Labour Party insisted on not abolishing rationing, preferring to rub the people’s noses in their power. This is what we are experiencing now with the attack on personal mobility, with political and bureaucratic elites preferring taxpayers and subjects to brave stabbings and robberies on public transport, wasting our time when time is money for hardworking TAXPAYERS.
There is another option to park a car, it's a hexagonal mesh that you can plant lawn on that stops it getting muddy. Could also use gravel. But the mesh and grass looks nicer
That's crazy. As an American I haven't any standing to comment on it really but I'm gonna anyway lol. I'm shocked mostly that they would introduce this and not grandfather in those that were already paved over, except I guess there aren't many left to pave over in London so it would include almost everyone maybe? Seems to me the article is quite telling, indeed revealing the real reason for the measure - an attempt to have more anti-automobile, anti-freedom fascistic control over regular folks. All the more reason to get the hell out of our big cities, they're going to hell in a hand-basket.
We are living in a madhouse!
They are trying to get all your cars in the road , then you are fair game for other stuff like blocking roads , remember no pavement parking ? , if you have not given up at this point as you have nowhere to park it , and half your roads have flowering planters on , and other roads have all manner of wallet raiding devices on , along with everybody else in the area all at the same time .
It all stems from when Sadiq specifically said that anti-ULEZ protesters were "aligning themselves with the extreme right" at a public meeting in March 2023. I`ve literally had these accusations aimed at me several times during arguments about ULEZ online, despite the fact my Dad is an immigrant, my kids are mixed race, & the majority of my friends aren't white or English, & I`ve always been a left wing socialist politically.. Its a level of "divide & rule" politics from Sadiq that is ironically more common from the extreme right, & its precisely what has caused me to withdraw ALL support from Labour in the last few years..
The motorway & road blocking, as you say, led to an extremely dangerous situation for emergency services, caused massive levels of inconvenience to millions of people, made people miss critical appointments, including medical appointments they`d been waiting for for months, & sometimes even years, caused missed flights, caused missed funerals, stopped people getting to family members on their death beds, stopped doctors, nurses, surgeons, firemen, policemen, social service workers to be late & even miss work completely, so yes, the punishment DOES fit the crime.
So why are councils building new houses? surely they are causing more damage to soak away lands.
Khan is concreting over London with high buildings 😢
They supposed to be serving the public, but they are only sitting about thinking about how to extort more money.
The mafia has moved on to your area.
Most driveways are monoblock but permeable, however they'll look at it differently because they need the taxes. They'll target people whose astroturfed their gardens too.
when we built a house we had the drive made out of block paving. One question we had to fill out on the sale questionnaire was was there a soak away included at the bottom of the incline. This was 5 years ago.
i know for sure absolutely all driveway contractors will be making honest declarations in this regard
If this goes ahead, then those people need to sue the planning office as they are the ones who passed the plans for those homes?
For balance, this is olive of 50 recommendations AND it also includes a recommendation on incentives. Action is RECOMMENDED to be owned by the UK Government not Mayor of London office. Wording reads
As part of the UK government's review into managing the surface water impacts of increases in impermeable surfaces in public and private spaces, it should consider introducing stormwater charges for people who pave over gardens and incentives to remove paving.
Southall once had a home bred Formula 1 team! In 1967 I used to buy part used racing tyres from J.A.Pearce Engineering. In that
year this company had 3 Pearce-Martin F1 Cars outside their shop in Southhall alongside all the Tyres. How times have changed...
Man's weapons pale into insignificance with the energy of just one thunderstorm, One CME from the Sun, even Volcano's.
Humans are not that great shakes power wise.
I didn't know about the Southall race team! Thanks for that. Do you know what the exact location was?
@@BrownCarGuy It was on a corner of
Western Road. Sadly there was a fire, and
the cars were destroyed. There was an artical in CC3 in 1967 and some more
coverage in Autosport, sadly I sold my
Mag colections from this preiod 40 years ago, but I still have the memory. All the best.
The return of the window tax...
This type of article reminds me of Gordon Allport's 'Scale of Prejudice', 1954. It all begins with "anti-locution". Another words, speaking against a group you define yourself.
Another great video B.C.G. Keep up the good work.
When you think about it, it is a brilliant piece of gaslighting. TO COME.....You are to blame for having a roof and causing flooding. YOU WILL PAY A ROOF TAX!
We have paving in the front garden that slopes towards the road but no water enters the road we installed a soak away channel at the boundary to deal with run off its the same way roof run off is dealt with they do not propose taxing 0ur roof area do they.
Coming soon... roofing tax. Having a roof exacerbates flooding because the water doesn't sink into your house.
And they want to build on GREEN BELT LAND !
It’s a good demonstration of how activists jump on every bandwagon and conflate all the issues, unable to understand them or distinguish between their propaganda and reality. These activists aren’t about any particular issues, be they environmental or political. What they are against is humanity or society.
"Petro masculinity" sounds rather sexist to me. I am offended! Can I report a hate crime??
Please do! 😂
Sounds like a badge of honour too me. Let's protest, I identify as petromasculine, petromasculine rights are human rights.. 😂
So future me will have to pay close to a £1000 for an Ev Charger and then the price of an astronomically high price EV but not have a drive to charge it on? Are they suggesting we all park our cars on the road, have my five meter extension lead trapsing for the public to trip up on. All the cars crowding the roads as many drives accommodate 2 or more cars, and no doubt a large rollout of parking permit charges. I am struggling to see what my road tax, council tax and water bills are being used for?
I mentioned this months ago, people thought it was a joke. This is actually used in Germany by the square meter, they send people to measure what you've pathed over, then you have to pay every month for doing so...
What if you have a soakaway and don'tuse drains? I guess you'll pay double 😂
Current roads are not permeable whereas porous asphalt could be used and would last a lot longer but would initially cost more which would look bad to the governing party in their short term in office.
1)We have permeable roads they have holes in them all over.
2 All you have to do is have a grid and soakaway at your drive entrance and tell Khan to do one.
So Khan try again you should be removed ASP.
Tarmac is permeable weeds are rife in my tarmac.
Its all about money. Co2 has no effect on the environment but clearly its the only thing they can tax. You cant tax sunshine or water vapour
We normal consumers only contribute 3% to carbon emissions majority of it here in the uk is from the construction industry
Tell me what is wrong with run off off water into the drainage system , this was always the way off moving sewage down to the sewage works.
If they are saying the private water companies can't cope with 15 million people arriving in the country in a short space off time, then they are the ones that need to spend billions on improving the system.
All those that voted Labour….Enjoy the huge tax rises coming.
Why not incentivise (subsidise cost ) people to reomove paved driveways with gravel or similar
Yep. Agree. As I said in the video!
Soot is white as snow, snow is black as soot...
Great Britain is a good country if you have nothing, you can claim benefits for housing/legal aid/ free dental care and many other things for free including council tax.
Remove the block paving / concrete and replace with shingle
East Ayrshire Council is trying to push for a driveway tax
I've not laughed so hard for a long time…!
Replace ALL footpaths with permeable paving/concrete/tarmac.
LEAD BY EXAMPLE Kahn
is this for back garden patios as well.
Not so long ago (in globe time) you could walk from Ireland to Norway, who do we thank for messing that up?
well, if you voted labour you can now reap your rewards
The problem is we all have to reap them.. everybody gets what nobody voted for.. ah democracy. 😂
GDP per capita, we are the 27th richest country in the world.
Wef want a 95% reduction private car ownership so expect this sort of thing to get much worse
Great Britain is a good country if you have nothing, you can claim benefits for housing/legal aid/ free dental care and many other things for free including council tax.
Window tax returning soon.
Shahzad..that article is obviously written by an activist. These writers often go on a wild roller coaster trip. And whiz off of random directions..Me and polish girl. Get get alot of this type with our dealings with the prison and criminal justice system. As family of someone currently serving. They don't really improve things for anyone. Or really make creative solutions to issues.
Get ad block to block youtubes bullshit ads. It works great
People wanted Khan, people have it.
Judging by the comments, it seems to be happening in other places too.
They just drive around with sirens on. 😂
Seems unfair. Retroactive taxes must be unconstitutional. If anything there should be a financial incentive to replace impermeable paving with permeable. Otherwise it's just a cynical method to raise tax revenue.
The sheep 🐏 will pay readily of course, the wolves won't 🏴
This is about restricted travel for low wage earners, people were told to go electric, so will need a driveway, I notice no one is pushing the permeable drive ways or even green paving concrete blocks with holes to grow grass through, he is blaming it for flooding, I think it to discourage people from getting a drive way to park and charge their car, something is not adding up, putting tariffs on cheaper Chinese evs thus stopping lower income groups from getting one then saying, they will ban itc engines, brainwashed people thinking oil is going to end mankind 🧐there was more pollution in the 18 19 hundreds, but we are still here 🤔
They are insane
Note nobody seems to talk about chem trails contaminating air you pay for ULAZ yet air isn’t clean not to mention your tax paid for roads
@@robbiehilpert5909 because only a tiny minority are stupid enough to believe in chemtrails. This, on the other hand, is a real power and cash grab.
If you voted Khan well you get what you vote for. Same as Labour....you think they wont massively raise taxes? They already have. A few weeks they have spent 20 billion....
I thought Elon Musk had to pay $44B for Twitter
I stand/walk corrected!
Waiting for you to weigh in on the new rep0rt on ulez benefit
I looked at it, but there's nothing new there. Obviously it was going to show an improvement, but as many have already pointed out, the changes are so miniscule, as was estimated by the original independent impact assessment report, that compared against the money spent and all the misery caused it's an overall net negative result. But the narrative is cast in stone now, Londoners voted for this, and worse is to come. Good luck to us all. 😟
@@BrownCarGuy You are right. Khan has won. The great fleece continues
Not workable, whatsoever!
I wouldn’t worry about it.
It’s just the language khan & his friends & fans like to use.
I’ve just had a comment deleted on this subject on this video, what a surprise! …..talking of mr khan’s friends 🤔
Passionate car people don't go around stabbing people
Sounds like an article written by an AI and then not proof read by a human, or at least a human that gives a sh*t!
I think you're doing AI a disservice 😂😂😂
@@BrownCarGuy I refuse to believe any human employed by a news agency would write an article like that, Ive worked in papers and the people are... hmm, I stand by my first statement!
What climate change?
you had your chance to get rid of khan and you did bother voting so you got what you got
Maybe i a female as a driver am a petrol masculine. Lol
I don't know what you're reading but it sounds super convoluted. They need to see a psychiatrist.
@@The-J link in description
This will be packaged up in the Council Tax Band reevaluation. I am confused. Where are we going to charge those EVs except using off street parking.
Are you appearing at the Motorshow again next month. 🫰
I'm not working there this, will probably attend though, not sure which day.
@@BrownCarGuy It was good to meet you last year.
