isnt the point that these attacks on the whole are not actually carried out by the legit licensed people?

FFS they cause more confusion to the public than anything else

Quite Mr Grandad.

The vast majority of the bad guys are un-licensed taxis.

To be an un-licensed private hire they must have first receive a booking from a licensed or un-licensed operator. :wink:

I agree Mr gusmac, but some sections of the London cab trade think it's clever tarring all London PH with the same brush.

But it ain't. :wink:

The vast majority of touts I see are licensed Minicab drivers driving their licensed Vauxhall Astra's Minicabs.

Nice.

Well not really as minicabs were never licensed in the first place.

And if you take the double negative formula, then that makes them licensed and pukka. :?
