Angry Motorists want Road Charging. WE GOT A REPLY!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ม.ค. 2024
- After I asked an Express journalist to show his working during my Pay Per Mile video, I got an actual email reply. In this video I go through the reply that I received, looking at the data the original article was based on and in true Geoff fashion I tear it a new one.
Features a lot of digging, some statistics, some infographics, a tiny bit of swearing, a rant and a tank running over a Morris Minor.
Possibly my best video ending to date

THINK ABOUT THIS... MORE PEOPLE HAVE WATCHED THIS VIDEO THAN TOOK PART IN THE SURVEY THIS ARTICLE WAS BASED ON....!!! Lots more, actually. 25,000 when I typed this.

They want us to voluntarily give away our freedom and it doesn't matter who you vote for. It seems we lost WWII.
😂why? Have you Lost it?😮😅
Yes Geoff lost it....Not the car, his mind when he read the journalist replies.
I bet all the questions were loaded too. I.e you have theses choices that will all end up with pay extra per mile. Not any that said leave it as it is apart from charging EVs the same as everyone else. OH and just fix the roads with the road tax..
Ah you said it as I posted they were loaded Questions who would have thunk.

Not one motorist has ever asked to pay more to travel.
But most complain about the state of our roads! You get what you pay for.
Or asked to be monitored every single moment of their travel.
@@Ifyoudonttakeitucantfakeit Motorists pay enough to have the roads in good condition, but the money is taken away for other things like £8 million a day for those coming here against the law.
@@Ifyoudonttakeitucantfakeit Ask if all the fuel taxes are being used to update the roads. If not, that's the problem.
As if they'd ever stop taxing fuel.
3000 out of 67 million consulted !! - Same fraudulent tactic as used in Wales about the alleged 20 mph consultation!
We already have a road pricing system. It is the huge tax on fuel. Drive more miles in a big car, pay more. Small car and drive less, pay less. Simple and doesn't need to track and trace us everywhere.
Exactly! You can also guarantee once they start "pay per mile" they won't remove road tax and fuel duty will they .... it will just be yet another tax stacked ontop of another tax, as it always is
Exactly 👍
@@arcadeukAgreed, so obvious...😳🙄🇬🇧
… and that works great for EVs … 😂😂😂
Not to mention that your car, whether a diesel or petrol has passed a emissions test to pass the MOT.
It's nothing to do with environment etc, it's simply all about control and so they can turn your car off whenever.
The cameras have been going up round my area, because IMO it's coming whether you like it or not, so you know what to do 😊
Let's just keep the fuel tax, slap a yearly tax on EV's and fire anyone in government who suggested this
Oh love that idea... that would work.. and cost zero to implement and save a shed load of money...
And let's just sprout wings and fly, while we're at it.
@@allosaurusfragilis7782 You're right, writing one new tax law and firing a couple bureaucrats is a near impossible task.
Hasn’t an annual VED already been announced on EVs ?

😳 WTF?!
ARE THEY PROPOSING THAT THEY TAX THE DRIVER AND NOT THE CAR????
Their other proposals just complicate the current simple and fair transport taxing system! 🙄
IT WILL NEVER BE ACCEPTED BY THE DRIVING PUBLIC! 😡
Yes - this is how it's done in many countries. What it would allow you to do is own more than one car and only pay for the mile you do in total - after all you can't drive two at once, can you?
What are they going to charge you on? Personal pollution emissions?
If you had 2 vehicles, would that mean you only pay once , because you can only drive one at a time anyway? I wish they'd do car insurance like that too.
@@Veeger You pay per miles in each car based on a function of emissions and mileage. It would be great if insurance worked the same too - but part of insurance is theft and you don't need to be driving for that to happen.
It’s always seemed strange to me that road tax and insurance isn’t averaged out and applied, per litre, at the pump. Everyone on the road is automatically taxed and insured. No need for discs. Can’t get run into by an uninsured driver. Far less coppers required. Disincentive for unnecessary driving. Also, as insurance companies are private, it seems legally dodgy to force, under penalty of law, the motorist to buy a private product. A state owned, nfp insurance company could supply 3rd party f&t at the pump, so you could still pay privately for more cover.
I think Luke had a sword against his bare chest whilst kneeling down blindfolded with one of his trouser legs rolled up.
Im applaud by the lack of response from fellow motorcycle riders. THIS EFFECTS US TOO
Agree it certainly does effect all road users but like many motor cyclists im now well past the big 70 and we have thought all our life to stop rediculous over the top legislation and im glad if the many millions of motorists can be pursuaded to get involved with anti vehicle legislation that Europe and our pathetic no backbone MPs are now forcing on everyone.
I will probably go the Mad Max type route to get about, a fast z1000 or similar, pre electronics and a small nondescript scooter to nip to the shops....painted black, flip up plate......growing old disgracefully. I will also lobby groups like MAG my local politician etc....
Remember, these groups will only release surveys that will give the answers they want.
Brilliant work Geoff calling out this tyranny hiding in plain sight 👍
Now look at the 'Maxines' that people were coerced into getting
Sadly there is far worse on the horizon such as Mandatory jabs, Smart dust on food to fuel and by 2030 the Quantum dot skin barcodes.
6p a mile £300 for just 5000 miles... £1620 for my neighbour who is retired and offers FREE lifts to and from hospitals and doctors appointments for locals. That's going to be a kick in the teeth compared to his tax last year which was £20.
Bless him what a sweetheart 💓
It's great for depopulation.
Currently, it probably costs about 20p a mile for full cost?
I remember there were plans mooted for a smart road pricing scheme sometime in the naughties under the previous Labour government. Every time the public has a say and rejects a plan you can bet it will come again in a decade or so's time when most people will have forgotten about it.
Geoff, don’t back down.
We’re with you 100%.
Normal people ALREADY pay per mile with fuel tax.
Let the EVangilists sort out their own slice of the £28B that fuel tax affords the government.
I agree.
And tyre/ vehicle wear and tear repair tax! Bigger cars usually more expensive tyres etc
Fuel tax isn't the only tax on motorists, though.
Yeah and not 250 like we used to but 7-800 for a 3 litres, this is ridiculous already!!
But you aren't carrying the real cost. It costs society £1.59 for every £ it costs the driver. Why should cyclists pay for you welfare queens?
Hail the bladerunners.They are doing a grand job.
I bet not a single person in a rural area was asked!
Thanks for exposing this corruption Geoff! Everyone knows what's going on, but we still really need individuals to expose it whenever possible, and as often as possible!
There are no journalists now, only story tellers.
Yep and they all have the same name Jack Anory !!
And they'll write anything for the right price.
That's the trouble with our new smart digital world, it gets even easier than ever for the government to steal your money🙃
Yes and most people on their latest 'smart' phones are playing into their hands.
And the recent Post Office events show that not only are computers not infallible, but those whose design, operate, and administer them know this.
@@cornishhh I think that was engineered to steer the digital money idea their way.
Luke is more than likely a millennial who has had any critical thinking brainwashed out of him. That's if he had any in the first place. The diatribe these people write for the MSM could be written by 5 year olds. They're thinking is infantile. Children in adult bodies.
Right in line with the controllers agenda of "15 min cities".. We think we have problems NOW.. 😡😡
Now that's what you call journalism. Well done mate
Journalists are not paid to question anyone that pays their wages or is friends with the owner of the paper. Jourmalism died years ago.
They are the funded puppets doing the bidding of the people behind this.
Just look at all the money Gates spends on media.
always been used as a propaganda tool
Most 'consultations' involve cleverly worded questions, to steer the conclusion towards something that's already been decided.
You,government is a prime example of loaded questions,nearly all MPs are contributors.
Shame they can't use their talents and money to do something constructive with their time.
Delphi psychological tactic
Hi Geoff, thanks for all your hard work. Just a point of order; it is unlikely that ‘Luke’ wrote the headline for the article, that’s usually the editors job.
I've always lived an honest life, paying my bills/taxes etc, but if this is the direction we are going, I will no longer be so honest and fiddle everything I can...
same here yet all around me are the work shy with new mobility cars my neighbour new ev moka she sent it back for a mg petrol ,i drive my 14 year old diesel cannot waste money on a new car or loan does not make sense if you pay tax .The country is a joke
Your not actually fiddling , just keeping what is yours. You owe the Government and Traitor Royals nothing. The sooner the people realise this the better.
i am too honest as well but i feel often being punished for it . maybe the public aught to give who ever does these things a taste of their own meds .
How can you fiddle what is yours anyway?! Just think about this, the average working person in the UK is losing AT LEAST 50% of their income in tax! Forget the headline income tax rate, we are taxed on everything! Well, apart from books! We are even double taxed on some things, like motor fuel, where there is fuel duty and vat. Even pensions, if you have a private pension and combined with your state pension your income exceeds the tax threshold, your private pension is taxed at source!! You already paid income tax to pay into that pension, which by virtue of your foresight lessons your dependence on the state, but you taxed again on that anyway! Every time you buy anything the state is taking 20% of that!! Little known fact, before WW2 there was no purchase tax, it was implemented after the end of the war as a TEMPORARY tax to help post war recovery, fair enough, sort of. Except it became permanent! Then, when we joined the Evil Union, we had to HARMONISE retail tax with their plundering method, so it became VAT. How is it VALUE ADDED, where is he value, except for the state?! Then there were 2 rates, if I recall correctly they were 5% and 17.5%, then it was 25% for a while!!!! And now of course 20%. This is an absurd level of tax to pay on retail goods and actively increases inflation!!! The reason for such a heavy tax burden is a government that is woefully inefficient and that has become addicted to easy money instead of doing the job properly and not wasting epic amounts of YOUR cash on utter nonsense like HS2 and illegal immigrant holiday camps. There are something like 70 or 80 thousand civil servants in the UK, all beavering away at thinking up new schemes to dip even more into our wallets and keep themselves employed, at our expense. And they can't even do the job they were actually employed to do. Same applies to councils, probably the biggest wasters of all. People of the UK need to wake up and smell the coffee or what Geoff has highlighted here and much more will get much worse. And remember, it's YOUR money!!!
It would actually be more ethical to withhold all money from the crown, aka; the beast, than to fund it.
Campaign For Better Transport is a bunch of private companies who will make more profit from pricing private transport off the road.
Looking further up the replies, it seems they are push bikers. Hmmm
Yeh I read some of their bile some years ago. These NGOs are a real threat to our way of life. I watch UK column and even I'm shocked by the sheer number of NGO's operating in this country alone that are there to undermine our way of life, indoctrinate, pervert the young and many other nefarious things.
Everyone needs to stand up against these dystopian tactics.
As if we don't pay enough already!
So the choice was between pay per milr; pay per mile; or pay per mile.
Surprisingly, nearly everybody opted for pay per mile.
Fact number one The government needs to get more money as a percentage of your wage off the public year on year.
In this regard the motorist is considered to be fair game.
Sell it to the public using loaded questions.
Love the sarcastic wit !
Thanks for the laugh.
The way we have seen government around the world waste taxpayers money ,the last couple of years proves they don't need more money.
I polled myself and I dont want pay per mile, therefore I represent 100% of the UK public who dont want it.....end of, the whole thing sounds ridiculous 😅😅
I concur.
I concur too.
Absolutely spot on. In addition with the public profileing that exists they can ensure they survey the people who will give the answers their paymasters desire.
"There are lies, damn lies and statistics "
I have 12k members in my Facebook Group, Motorhome Touring Scotland, I bet my entire existence that they all would vote against having a pay per mile system! Now there's some serious non click bait journalism for you!🤣🤣🤣
Well said. We don't want road charging. We do want to drive cars we actually own without debt.
Great report Geoff.
But who are the individuals in these organisations? What do they earn? Where does their finances come from?
Keep calling out these people!!
A very good piece of investigative information, as usual Geoff. Nice little shot of the tank running over the Morris Minor at Welland Steam Fair. I wuz there!
Just passed another camera installation in my village. My fellow men and women building a surveillance system pushed by national and local government to be used against said persons and myself in the very near future. I can only see the blade runner "organisation" gaining momentum not that I condone such actions of course. Great work Geoff.
Oh i condone that :,D
A lot of those cameras seem to catch fire. Must be poor design.
Course you don’t! Good heavens! 😂
the useful idiots putting them up and operating them are making the people at the top rich !!
I DO NOT SUPPORT ACTIONS BY POLITICIANS TO FURTHER RESTRICT FREEDOM TO TRAVEL ….. is short sighted apathy the price we pay for living in a “one foot in the grave” cuntry ?
This was tried in South Africa. In 2013 "e-Tolls" were inaugurated on the freeways around and between Johannesburg and Pretoria. It was a pay for use project and it sparked a huge civil resistance movement with only 20% of users paying the tolls. The project was scrapped in 2022 with millions owed by motorists.
It takes its toll on the economy wich I think is what it’s all about just a few yr off it .
Have you ever been to SA? They have no idea who owns or drives the car. Fake plates 10 a penny!@@tokoloshimampara9932

Geoff, I feel as passionate about this stuff as you - thank you for continually bringing these topics to the publics attention.
The views on the videos are impressive especially when you consider this is Britain-centric.
May I suggest pre-written letters for us to send to our MP’s to accompany a video. Big Brother watch does something similar via their website - and it makes it very easy for someone without the time to send a well written letter to the people that will need to listen to us. If an MP gets five or six of these letters they have to start to take notice.
All the best.
Excellent investigative journalism Thank you Geoff
It needs to be publicised how they produce these figures and statistics.
They hold a survey giving 3 or 4 options all of which are unpleasant to varying degrees and none of which include what people actually want.
Nowhere on the survey is anywhere to record that people reject all of the options [so are forced into choosing the lesser of the evils on the list]
They then produce a report saying we have spoken to the public and this is what they want. [omitting the fact that the questions were rigged]
It’s like asking a condemned man how he wants to die, the option of carrying on living isn’t included so the report produced says that he has agreed to die… and by this method.
(sounds like every referendum - ever..)
Yep sums it up nicely. It's all spin and cherry picked information to push through whatever they want.
Geof publish your own report, your audience is far larger than the numbers responding to these surveys
Very well put Rob.
🎯
Geoff saying allegedly these people are real cracked meup. Keep up the good work Geoff. Also surveying 0.0048 % of the U.K. population does not represent the views of the British public.
It does when it suits the Governments agenda!
exactly that. the sample size is a joke
Your average Express reader would be angry at these findings but many wouldn't analyse the article; they'd just look at the headline.
Bad news sells papers. I'm sure the journalist knows this. His bosses certainly do.
You're absolutely class,stand for parliament, your country needs people like you,common sense is in short supply
Excellent research and analysis, Geoff. Hope this video spreads far and wide.
Who you going too call (THE BLADE RUNNER'S).😄
Yep!
They have a YT channel...
we investigated ourselves and found we were right and we know best
Like the post office then?
Politics is full of narcissists these days. "Daddy knows best."
A true and honest poll would be a great idea. Geoff all your hard work exposing this is very much appreciated it needs a well informed car guy such as you to lead the fight back.
Thank you for all of your hard work.
Another aspect to this argument is regarding ppl like me. I'm chronically poorly after having multiple transplants. I need to visit the hospital that did the transplants on a regular basis. The hospital is 110 miles away from my home. When able, I drive to the hospital, as where I live (Lincolnshire) has practically zero public transport. The NHS transport system is a joke. Often I need to rely on family/friends to drive me to the hospital. What would road pricing do to ppl like me? Who would help by offering me a lift if it's even more expensive than it is now? Where I live a car is vital, not a luxury. I run a 58 plate Clio 1.2 that I've owned for 8 years. It's done 58k miles, and (hopefully) has plenty of miles left in it. There is no alternative, it's either a 2.5hr drive, or 1.5 days on a train (with multiple changes).
Now a lot of 'local' hospitals are shut, or just do basic stuff, because the government decided major hospital centres were a better idea. This means a lot of ppl (like me) have to travel large distances to visit the hospital if they need "specialist" services.
Big government gets bigger, we have a nightmare contesting wrong charging. Ulez has proved cameras don't work. Nightmare.
I think we should start a campaign: "Geoff for Transport Minister!"
Agree👍
Great News 👍 Ive just completed a thoroughly comprehensive survey 😊. The verdict was NO to pay as you go road pricing a 100% NO. I also did the same with other questions like should the government introduce a Sunlight charge 🤔, the answer was also 100% NO.
😊👍👍👍
Pay as you drive is already there petrol tax!
I'm afraid you're the journalist you're looking for, Geoff!! Mainstream media will never tell the truth because they're paid not to. The sooner we realize that and start looking for our news in alternative media, the sooner we can let the corporate media meet its inevitable collapse!! 🙏❤
so they offered 3 options which nobody wants and state that the least popular of those is what people want.... unbelievable!
It's what happens at general elections too!
And same BS with any local or central government public consultation. Pay by the mile is just another digitised control, but it will be incorporated into the CBDC.
Sceptical? Try searching your nations central bank. Eg, “Bank of England CBDC” are see how close we are to a total pay as you go digital gulag.
Thanks Jeff for the due diligence in your research.
This type of survey caused the 20 mph blanket ban in Wales
6p per mile ouch that’s an insane amount of money for road tax.
It makes the mere 1000 people asked about the 20mph in Wales look massive!
That, Geoff, was a superb expose of the utter drivel being peddled. Thank you.
The best video yet, absolutely brilliant, Geoff you are a far better journalist than most that call themselves journalist.👍👍
Best video ever Geoff! Proper research, well done!
BRAVO Geoff, this is EXACTLY the info WE NEED. Why not start with the WORST POLLUTERS - PRIVATE AIRCRAFT!?
That still use leaded fuel.
I can see loads of number plates "falling off" if this goes ahead and milage clocking just before an MOT ! This is going to be a nightmare when the police see everyother vehicle going past with no plates on, "Ohh dear officer, I never realised, somebody must have stolen my plates! "
TBF, Number plate theft is probably going to be a big 'thing' in the future
@@kenbrooks7794 Ill most likely get cloned plates in the future. Driving in the UK seems to get worse every year. The amount of speed cameras everywhere now is joke.
Unfortunately u as a driver should do a walk around before driving so using that excuse would just get u a £100 fine on the spot and if seen happening again take car of u and have pay roughly 150 min to get it out and x amount a day
Fantastic Geoff! They’re slowly doing the same in Australia. They put out 6x4 trailers with two overhead cameras and two cameras halfway up the upright section of the pole. They are currently used as “seatbelt and phone” checkers. Later sending you a fine for using the one shouldn’t and not using the one you should. What people don’t realise, is that they’re also facial recognition cameras. Going into a national database is not something I have consented to. No one I know has consented.
Love your channel and content, keep up the great work 👍
What will happen is if you own a petrol or diesel car you will pay fuel duty & pay per mile charging, whereas ev owners will pay just pay per mile only, and that's the way they will get you out of your ICE engine.
This is a total threat to our privacy & freedom of movement.
Never accept this no matter what.
So what should we do?
@@fredfred2363Protest and educate the unknowing.
Signs in the rear window of your car saying "SAY NO TO PAY PER MILE"

Create some stickers geoff for our cars to say this.
You don't have privacy, and have had to seek permission, if you wish to travel, since 1920, thanks to the League of Nations.
There’s no reason EV can’t pay ‘fuel duty’ either. It can be applied / recovered easily enough from public pay chargers. Home chargers are largely ‘smart chargers’ and most EVs are 4/5G enabled so an EV charge rate could easily be applied to charge taken from a domestic supply. This would even work with 3 pin granny charging.
Taxation Reform = That face you make when you dig deep and push through the pain to reach the finish line only to discover that it's actually the starting blocks

100% with you Geoff…now that’s good journalism 👍
Gave up reading newspapers decades ago. WHY? Because it became obvious that they were not objective reporters of facts and events, PAPERS ARE OPINION FORMERS!
A plan i thought of after watching this and other related videos:
1. Remove all Road based taxes, VED, Fuel etc. No need for new cameras or monitoring systems.
2. Replace with a yearly charge per mile based on miles done on the MOT. Includes EVs to prevent the huge gains on tax relief, free relief etc.
Example being 0.03p a mile x 8000miles, meaning the tax is based on more excess driving. Some years are cheaper some are more depending on circumstances.
3. Potential for subsequent heavy vehicle charge of an additional 0.03-0.05p.
4. Business Vehicles such as removal vans/merchant loaders/class 1/2 HGV, use a flat tarrif of X (not sure as my knon how on that industry is limited).
Things to consider: MOT legimatcy and car mileage readings, Driving long commutes
Based on the 2023 data 41.3m different vehicles (cars, LGV, HGV, motorcycle, other) on the road are correctly registerd.
Ultimately creates a system to use pay per mile but based on people knowing that the car should be preserved and not used as a commodity.
Done correctly its expected to generate billions a year that is providing the funds without excuses to improve road quality and enjoyment?
I also believe the car fuel duty removal would encourage simpler pricing on fuel premiums, so those making long journeys can have less concern on cost of such journey.
Great video Geoff ! What an absolute load of utter shite that people want these charges and are angry about not getting charged yet. I'm sick to the back teeth of the lies that spew out on issues like this.
Yup!!
I'm so glad you understand surveys, when I see a survey result I always think how did they ask the question to get that result. Most people don't seem to think like that and say the survey says it so it must be true. Keep up the good work exposing all this bullyshiti.
Hi Geoff, just had my insurance renewal, I have a 1999 vw passat bought and paid for!. Last year my insurance was £297, renewal price £797 nothings changed since last year. So shop around don’t be lazy and auto renew
Brilliant Geoff. Youre taking the time and breaking things down and explaining things for people who otherwise arent aware / taking notice as most of these things are being brought in or being approved somewhat under the radar to the massess, to hide whats actually happning.
Hi Geoff, well said, summarised and concluded. I wish I knew how to get this badly conceived crap and hypocrisy to a wider audience! Perhaps we need to rebel somehow? We're just too soft here in the UK, and maybe that's why we're overrun with asylum seekers that are costing the taxpayer millions of pounds a day.
100%
Just keep supporting people like Geoff. The message will get out there.
Totally agree 👌👌

You see that's how it's supposed to work. If you need think tanks and focus groups and on and on to require and compel people in order to buy your product you're not on the level. I buy bananas because they're economical because they're delicious because they work for me.
And while I do get a certain amount of entertainment from watching my neighbors EV burn on the driveway, the exercise is not economical it's not good for any of us and other than a little schadenfreude they don't work for anyone.
