So in fact there is no evidence, merely your groundless opinion that

Taxation on lorries in particular and road vehicles in general has been
significantly reduced in recent years. That's subsidy by any measure.

"You're lucky on this occasion. Yesterday, I recall that I robbed you

"By only taking £39 today, I'm subsidising you."

Yeah, right.
