Hats off to Manchester Hackney Drivers......A lot of them were at home when the news broke about the attack at Manchester Arena...They came out in numbers and ferried people for ''Free''
This, whilst our competition uberk were charging 3 times normal fares as their prices surged...
A lot of the public came out with offers of hot drinks, Accomodation for the night and any other help people might need.
Condolences to the young people who lost their lives...
Manchester will not be bullied by this scum !

Well done to Hackney lads there, and most likely PH as well. Just uber doing what it does best. Thoughts and best wishes to those killed and injured.

My thoughts are with those involved in this horrendous incident,those contemplating or carrying out these atrocities are wasting their time as we will not change our way of life.

Thanks to those honourable members of our TAXI trade for offering their services in getting people safely away from the incident without any thoughts of recompense unlike the Uber scum who were charging extortionate figures to do so.

Your heart can only go out to these kids and their parents in such inhumane circumstances, and be relieved we know where our own loved ones are. Hats off to the Manchester cab drivers who helped ferry the injured to hospital. Remember, you can help fight these horrible inhuman people by being the eyes and ears for the police and authorities. If you see something that doesn't seem right then report it.

My thoughts are with those affected.
It is heartening to hear how the whole community (UBER excepted) came together for the good of all. I would like to think that the UBER drivers themselves switched the app off and did their bit.

your reaction Ven is understandable by irrational, for sure the Muslim community has some serious issues within it to deal with, raping children and using them as prostitutes as illustrated last week, can be added to this Manchester savagery high time they were forced to confront their issues!

not true in my area one mile from my home last week Police shot a women as they were arresting a terrorist cell in Brent, my views on the Police in general are hardly complimentary, but their undercover units in London it would appear do some good work, and of course now Boris has gone cuts to their numbers will cease, and with a change of government their numbers will no doubt increase ............................just another reason to Vote Labour on the 8th June.

I tell you getting on tube these days even i select carefully what carriage i get in by having a good look round.

Hard to beat, your right but its got to be done.
