Taxi Driver Online

Wont make any difference...If the Big boys thought any given area was financially viable as PH then they would have been there already regardless of the LA, Its not as if they're going to rush a car 50 miles from a city base into the sticks for little or no reward when they know the local trade has it pretty well sewn up..they just couldnt compete..

Yes, you're not actually expecting the press to read the thing are you?

That's why they have press releases.

I think the idea of the midnight embargo is that it will be in today's papers.

So unless the press are given a pre-release copy of the consultation document then there's no way they can read it before the reports appear today. But that's not a problem, because they wouldn't read it anyway.

Churnalism, I think it's called.

Incidentally, I think the idea of the midnight embargo is a bit flexible these days, because most newspapers have their online editions up before midnight.

And of course even years ago you could always get the next day's morning papers in the late evening of the day before in places like central London.

It seems that the big private hire companies have got their point across..... the taxi trade loses out and so do the existing private hire drivers.......

Does this knock the IOL's proposed reforms on the head?

BTW, I agree with a lot of what your last couple of replies said about us and the world, I just can't be bothered anymore to debate the pro's and con's, but I'll leave it with we aren't that far apart on opinion of those that hoover money and cause friction, bottom line is....if we all said no when they start wars there wouldn't be anyone to fight one because they sure as hell wouldn't get the fatigues on and pick up a gun themselves.

I wouldnt go that far.....it may well be the case that the united opposition to the consultation pushes them that way

Would I be correct in assuming the Law Commission have no remit for Scotland?

Thank you kind sir.

I agree we are not a million miles apart, I find most people aren't.

As for those that start wars, this quote comes to mind.

Aldous Huxley
“The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own”

Aldous Huxley
[i]“The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own”


Far King good quote

you are correct....although I would suspect the Scots law makers are looking on?

Captain....... it would seem that the Hackney Trade and every small private hire company and driver are well and truly about to be shifted..... reminds me a little of the bus companies..... the big fish eat the little fish.....
