Desperate Labour depends on army of traffic wardens
Daily Express
|October 01, 2025
OFFICIAL data reveals we now have 82,000 parking wardens compared to 73,490 regular soldiers. But it's no surprise because they are the means to carry on leeching off drivers, with councils making £1.1billion profit in parking fines over the past year.
NEW MODEL ARMY: One of 82,000 traffic wardens adds to the nation's coffers
Doesn't that say it all about Britain? Now that our industrial base has been largely demolished by net zero, this is the only way Prime Minister Starmer's Britain makes money - by looting the nation's citizens either through higher taxes, fines or bureaucratic charges. And yet it still needs more.
Despite generating an additional £1.4billion from on-street parking charges and a further £876million from council-run car parks, council tax has risen by an inflation-busting average of 5%.
Yet rather than spending this on vital services, Labour ministers still feel generous enough to give 16,000 councillors a boost in taxpayer-funded pension funds, saying they "deserve it". As we all know, this is a future liability that is only going to grow and grow. A quarter of our council tax already goes on paying town hall civil servants' gold-plated pensions.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves made it clear at Labour's party conference that tough times still lie ahead. That can only mean one thing: more taxes.
