if the supply of taxis or PHCs has been unduly constrained by onerous licensing conditions,, ....

..... then that person's safety might be put at risk by having to wait on late-night streets for a taxi or PHC to arrive; he or she might even be tempted to enter an unlicensed vehicle with an unlicensed driver illegally plying for hire.

Restriction is about playing politics with young and vulnerable women's lives.

This is what Edinburgh's taxi trade stands for.

Any wonder, with attitudes like this we are losing work like snow off a dyke?

F*** me do you ever give up??

Yes.

When the trade de-restricts and we can begin to build a trade we can be proud of.

For F+cks sake

give it a rest you dull little man!

You've blown your horn. Had your debates/arguements/discussions

no one is interested now in what you have to say! Why? You just keep re hashing the same bullet points over and over and over!

So we've got you for a long time then Jim,oh well gives us someone to laugh at i suppose.

Yes.

Don't you mean, "when the trade de restrcts we'll be sat out there 18 hours a day trying to earn a crust".

You've never seen de restriction so how can you comment? I've been through it twice and everytime it's been a killer.

You'll be the 1st one to moan when you've got more to pay out each month than what you've got coming in.

De restriction is a killer, managed growth is something different.

Good one Nigel "managed growth" keep them coming 50K plate values £300 rentals Ph, expanding to take all our work. Oh we've "managed growth" alright and now we've got wee lassies getting raped because they can't get a taxi

Nope. YOU@RE not interested. And you're irrelevant.

You do realise this don't you.

YOUR daughter. tell us about your priorities with YOU'RE daughter. Or wife. Or any other female you care about more than you're stupid greedy selfish vested interest.

I have exactly the same relevance as you mate in the grand scheme of things. Hee haw

and let me tell you this again, one last time, just for the record

I DO NOT HAVE A VESTED INTEREST

I'm just like you. I rent a cab, through my choice not because some black market cartel keeps a lid on taxi plates. I don't want the hassle of tyres/servicing/repairs/road tax/insurance/vehicle monthly repayment/breakdown cover/paperwork to council/livery/paintwork touch ups/yearly taxi examinations




Also, how many times did you use the rape arguement before those poor victims were attacked. Not once! I've been in the trade 5 years. 5 years ice known about you fighting your cause to the council. And not once did you use public/women safety as an arguement. It was always being denied your human rights, tools of the trade, unlawful lists and other bollocks.

This time last year you predicted/guaranteed that the trade will be deristriced. Never happened

this time 5 years ago you predicted/guaranteed the trade would be delimited/derestricted. Never happened


Your a little man that wants his voice heard but nobody is listening!

Gary,now's maybe a good time to drop the rape thing,i don't think you really believe this?
Or are you, as i said "just running with anything that Jim says"
Do you really want to be associated with such a vile little man?
What you have got to ask yourself is what next.....can he stoop any lower?
You keep saying 50K plate values,have a look at some of your other posts were you say the value is going down
