In addition local roads are funded by the local authorities to which we
all pay council tax. Central government only pays for trunk roads and
motorways, most of which cyclists use rarely. So whatever Gordon does
with the VED you pay to him, it doesn't pay for most of the tarmac
roads I cycle on.
If you really paid all your council tax it would be four or five times
what it is now because the government subsidy would be withdrawn, so you
are just plain wrong.
