Well perhaps I can?
Lets see, here is a list of the mindless representatives

George Sims Secretary Manchester TODA Taxi owner/driver now retired. Sold his plate and recently got one for free.
Barry Carter Taxi owner/driver (Manchester)
Pat Connor (NTTG & GMBU PDB) Multiple Taxi owner occasional driver (Manchester) now semi retired. Ousted from the T&G because he had a conflict of interest.

London Taxi Drivers Association:

Not many cab drivers amongst that lot yet they think they have the right to tell us cab drivers how we go about our business. Add in the hangers on such as Trevor Jones of Sefton who also doesn't drive a cab and the compliment of the mindless is nearly complete.
I suggest these people concentrate on looking after their own interest and leave the interest of cab drivers to cab drivers.
