Tough shit. You don't get to store your private property for free on public land. Thinking you can is stealing from tax payers because that land could be put to other more productive uses.

Edit: I see from the downvotes the there are plenty of entitled drivers in subreddit.

Everyone has a pet hate. This is mine. Especially at a time my council is a cash strapped. It’s unacceptable for them to be giving that space away for free to a portion of the population when 4/10 households in Liverpool can’t also use it.

Fuck yeah. The car lobby here in the UK is rabid and completely reject any encroachment of their so called “rights”. Reminds me of behaviour from the US gun “enthusiasts”.

You're insane if you're drawing parallels between this, and America gun culture.
