Considering how much the country relies on geezers like me delivering stuff to the punters, the politicians don't half have it in for us white van men. It's bad enough being told we've got to ditch the old motor just 'cos it tends to belch out the occasional cloud of black fumes. I mean, it's driven by an internal combustion engine, not carrot juice, what do they expect?

Then, when you haven't got the mayor trying to turn our vans all vegan, you've got all them councils in London deciding we're not paying enough for our parking fines. I thought they were supposed to be helping the punters with the cost of living, not making it worse.
