PostPosted: Fri Sep 21, 2007 3:52 am 
Here is the latest rant from John Tanzi(?). Erstwhile Edinburgh taxi driver. Victor 141. Alleged member of the exclusive Interested Parties List. Who has allegedly waited 15 years not to be granted the nod to apply for a taxi operator's licence in Edinburgh by the very council who's arse he licks. Here's what this "sage" has to say.

Wishful thinking I suspect The trouble is no one beleives delimitation is a good idea and who can blame them, the calls "for" are led by misfits and ego maniacs, when its seen in reality that we require more Cabs, you can be assured they will be put on the street.
Now it appears the Mxhack application is one Gordon Mcdonald driving in City cabs V206. is it right such a person should be allowed to drive in a leading cab company in this City, to raise cash to undermine its very existance?
Its a strange one, no one has a problem with an application, but given the current situation is it not correct to treat each application with suspicion given the two numpties at the top Taylor/Thomson are so hell bent on a perceived retribution, infact so much so that a reg plate (cab 25n) is being sold to deflect the attention away from their doings, DONT BUY IT, its most likely a con anyway.
Its all so sad realy,but carry on turpin and yer daftie mates, there was a time you had a point, sadly, you all look like wasters now, but keep at it, every day that goes by you lot look more stupid, it may have been more advisable to at least try without the aggesion.

Cablag.


Let's look as his wisdom? Excuse the old soak's spelling and lack of grammar. He can't help his ignorance. But do be aware that he represents the absolute best the status quo lobby can put up to defend their sycophantic position. That's why they lose. Anyway ....

Wishful thinking I suspect The trouble is no one beleives delimitation is a good idea and who can blame them, the calls "for" are led by misfits and ego maniacs, when its seen in reality that we require more Cabs, you can be assured they will be put on the street.

Owners don't believe in delimitation. Because they lose £50K. In 5 years that could be £100,000, the point when Dublin caved in. That's their own vested interest. Because thanks to you, every driver of a radio company knows full well that when his face doesn't fit he's bombed out. With no regard for his family situation. No regard for his commitments like the mortgage for the roof over his families head. No regard for his dependant children. No regard for the guy who's worked honourably for the company and the owner.

Your actions have just reduced drivers to the status of urchins toiling away in the slaveowning mills of the 19th century. If I was driver in these companies I would say, feck you, I want my own licence so you can never put me and my family in such a precarious position.

And when cabs are needed they will be put on the street?

Christ John the council put on 63 PH from apps in June. If there is a need for taxi services, where are the new taxi licences? What a simpleton you are if you can't see what's happening.

Now it appears the Mxhack application is one Gordon Mcdonald driving in City cabs V206. is it right such a person should be allowed to drive in a leading cab company in this City, to raise cash to undermine its very existance?

So we can assume bright boy that you are the one responsible for proving that all taxi drivers working for owners are just casual labour. The shecht on owner's shoes.

Because City Cabs, the company which you hold so dear, just suspended said MacDonald. Without advising him first. Without telling him why. Without giving him a chance to put his case. Without giving him any explanation. Who wants to live in a society where this fascism is allowed to happen?

But City Cabs got involved. While the arguments had raged around the companies and they'd been left to get on with their business. We had NEVER involved any of them in this argument. We had left them to get on with their business, expecting them to realise the opportunities a delimited market would bring, how they could use the extra muscle to win business back from PH.

But not now plinks. You've just involved the companies big time. And I'm going to make sure EVERYONE knows how you, and they operate. Particularly City Cabs in the first instance. Because to date, they're the first and only company to stick their unwise awr in.

This is why I am going to contact every known City Cabs contract customer and tell them precisely how City Cabs has behaved. How they've ridden roughshod over ever tenet of common employment law decency. And, listen to this you sanctimonious pratt Tanzi, I'm going to ask them if they can afford to be associated with a company which behaves in such a despicable manner. Would THEIR customers support such acts? The publicity should be interesting. So watch this space and watch the story as it unfolds. And remember who's doing it. Remember who's responsible for it. You Tanzi chap.

If you've got any sense at all, which I know you haven't, I suggest you get onto the retards operating City's committee and crank up a spurious story that they suspended the wrong driver and issue an apology to Gordon, because I'm going to grind you bar stewards into the ground for what you did. Every company you deal with will be contacted. Take the hit suckers. You just started a war between me and the radio companies which hitherto hasn't existed. But if there's no redress by Monday, take what comes your way.


Its a strange one, no one has a problem with an application, but given the current situation is it not correct to treat each application with suspicion given the two numpties at the top Taylor/Thomson are so hell bent on a perceived retribution, infact so much so that a reg plate (cab 25n) is being sold to deflect the attention away from their doings, DONT BUY IT, its most likely a con anyway.

This shows just how pathetic a pudding you are. As a politician, I suggest you stick to the whisky. That's about all you are worth. An old soak. You've just displayed how little you understand what's happening in our trade. Why did I not expect more.

Its all so sad realy,but carry on turpin and yer daftie mates, there was a time you had a point, sadly, you all look like wasters now, but keep at it, every day that goes by you lot look more stupid, it may have been more advisable to at least try without the aggesion.

We never had a point for you. Because you are a retard. I don't believe you ever wanted your own plate. I don't think you have the wit to run your own taxi. You're a charlatan. A complete waste of space. As a cabby. As a man.

When you did what you did to Gordon, you rewrote the annals of despicable behaviour. Now, I'm coming after the likes of you. I want YOU, Tanzi, to be the first one doing a triple tuck off the North Bridge. That's how far down the food chain you are. That sums up what I think of cowardly pratts like you who don't have the wit to understand what's happening.

Why is there no smiley for utter contempt.

So just because the chap applied for a plate in the same way as every person in these countries of ours can, the firm suspended him. [-X

Oh dear, I think they will live to regret that. [-(

Is there anything of substance in Taylor's post? He can't get the guy's name right and he doesn't even get the call sign of the guy's cab right, so what chance is there of his claims being right?

"Plumbing new depths" after the way that the Taylor posted evil comments about another driver's wife and then denied it claiming it was somebody else using his nick on fastblacks. Taylor is the scumbag who leads the way in depravity. him and his evil gay partner.

Go away Taylor. You're running scared. Remember what happened on Hanover Street rank the other day? you were jeered off the rank. left it with your tail well between your legs. And why? because you are an evil twisted lttle pervert who tells lies without blinking an eye.
You will be defeated. You will suffer when you are forced out of this trade by people who do care about the job and the service they provide instead of acting like the egomaniac you are.

Do you really believe that any large organisation would act in the way that taylor suggests?

In your manor could it happen that a driver be suspended for disagreeing with the company on a policy issue outwith company control?

Unlike taylor most of us realise that we do NOT live in a fascist society. He doesn't know the full facts so he just makes it up as he goes along as usual.

John T, you should know this.

I know all the facts in this case. The suspension was NOT notified. No explanation was given. It was done summarily.

Now you may attack me because you know that the trade has behaved despicably. But know this also, the ramifications could be serious.

The time now is 12.10. I've just received a fone call from Gordon and he tells me that he has just foned City Cabs. He asked the basic question, pointing out he was losing money, and received the curt reply that they are having a committee meeting and he will be informed.

Once again no explanation. Methinks City Cabs are digging an even bigger hole for themselves.

But remember this, the radio companies were never involvedin this argument. City Cabs have chosen, chosen mark you, to put themselves right in the frame.

So, believe this is how the big organisation acted. If they haven't let them bring legal suit against me. But there are myriad witnesses now to their actions. It would be simple to defend my claims in court. I would welcome the opportunity that the oxygen of publicity would bring.

So, we DO live in a fascist state. When the council operates our competition, and uses its powers to stop us from competing, that is most definitely fascist control. And when a supposedly respectable company takes the kind of action City Cabs has, just because a guy applied for a licence - Gordon MacDonald has not incurred any other reason for suspension - then that too is fascism.

So, John T. I suggest that YOU butt out because you certainly don't know the facts. And your rush to offer some spurious support for the status quo in this instance simply demonstrates how sycophantic you are.

BTW City Cabs was given a copy of this thread through the contact zone on its web site. I guess they now know that the war is now raging around them.

I guess they now realise the gift they've given us and the risk they've put their business in.

:lol:

Problem is, I've never ever made it up. I've only ever iterated the facts. Supporting those facts, I've given my opinion. And it's my argument that the status quo don't like.

And, because they can't refute the logic, they always only ever resorted to ridicule, put downs and derogatory nonsense. And all while remaining anonymous.

So, balance me arguing my case openly with them refusing to engage that debate and doing so incognito and who is making it up as we go along?

They don't like the argument but they know there is nothing they can do about it.

Finally, the numpties have been telling everyone that Taylor and MacDonald were beaten by the council. They lost. The Sheriff threw the case back to the council.

So, why the need to inflict the suspension on MadDonald?

Doesn't quite square up. Couldn't be because they've now realised they've lost and it's justa revenge response, could it :lol: :lol:

I suppose there are no real surprises here anyone who fights the system no matter how unfair and unjust that system is will always run the risk of losing everything :sad:

I just hope that some good eventually comes of all this because edinburgh is fast becoming the laughing stock of the taxi trade for the farcical lengths people are prepared to go to preserve the status quo

Heres hoping he has the last laugh !

I know guys who were brought up in a sh*t hole. And you know what they bought properties just up the road from where they stayed.

Why do you think they need the constant reminder of what they left behind? Could it be they never really left…?

Do you ever get the feeling that’s exactly where you are Mr. T?

The only thing you bought Mr.T is a prison with a different view. :-|
