Wouldn't it be nice if the London cab trade could be one big happy bunch, and then the minicab/licensed PH trade wouldn't be taking over.

But then again maybe it needs the minicab/licensed PH trade to take over before the London cab trade wake up. Methinks then it will be too late.

I think you guys should know the truth.

TBH I don't think the truth really matters, it's the fact that members of several associations/unions are beating themselves up.

I know numbers matter to some, and numbers does mean money, but I like to concentrate of issues and outcomes, not what ifs. :wink:

I understand what you are saying, but I would, and I can't believe you don't, have full confidence in what I'm doing and I don't give a monkeys what folks say about me.

Again I understand you are a new branch, and the old unions/associations don't like newcomers, but just keep on doing what you think is best for your mates and members, and ignore those that don't agree with you.

Take it from me once you are up and running, the oldies will just have to lump you.

I said lump, not thump. :wink:

I agree 100% get together and sort the problems out.

I agree too guys, but people like The RMT don't want that to happen.

They can't accept that lots of us have woken up to the fact that we were being conned by the Socialists through their lies they spread, so we decided to leave and join the LTDA, where we can actually get involved and try to make a difference.

The RMT will loose members at an alarming rate, and their tactics to try and combat this is to attack us.

You've seen the lies and slander they've written about us on their 20 man forum, but not in their non exsistant comic.

Why would we be on the street demonstrating about Rickshaws one week, and the next week we are supposed to have signed some charter with them?

Total Truth! The RMT are the enemy within.

They have had a year of giving us the mushroom treatment, so long in fact that they honestly do think cabbys are stupid.

Well thanks to forums like this and the RMT selective forum, those days are over.

I keep telling them, the only way they will save their dwindling membership numbers is to get out there and start doing something (like posting sheeite on a forum)

Attacking the LTDA will not do it, infact more members have left because of this.

I don't know how it works here, but on the RMT forum, if you talk the truth, you will be banned.

If you abuse and disrespect other members, it will be removed.

If your posts fall under what we deem acceptable, they will never be removed, regardless of which union you are or are not in, and whatever your opinion is.

The only posts of Dissys that should have been removed was the many where he said things that most of us probably wouldn't even say down the pub with our mates.

I pop over here from time to time, (every waking minute) and everytime I do, I see nothing but lies and distorted truths from him.

I think you guys should know the truth.

Cheers GBC.





Easy innit?

This is why you and the GMB Minicab union are perfect bed partners.

Turn coats. :wink:

Oh yeah sorry I forgot, I did have to remove your last post. The one where you started slagging off another member, saying he lived in a [edited by admin] house in a [edited by admin] area, the same member who you once followed home, took pictures, and posted them on a minicab forum.

You called him every obsenity going, and you expected me to leave it up?

Are there no depths you won't sink to?



I'll never sink to your depths and lies, that's for sure.

When the white haired fantasist from the Harrow Council tip tells you to jump, do you ask how high?

Perhaps he does want to be followed home? Do you think it could be sexual?

Perhaps it's his loss that I've never gone for skinny old men who suffer from 'Walter Mitty' syndrome.

Sorry. But maybe you could fill the missing gap in his life? :D

Numbers means support. We are trying to build, and he is trying to knock it down.

When you pick up the trade's largest circulated paper, and you see the front page full of lies about you, it kinda makes you want to do something about it.

I'm sure if I went around spreading lies about you sussex, you'd seek redress.

You say the truth doesn't matter, and to be honest I find that incredible.

This is our livelyhood we are trying to protect, and we are not gonna just sit here and watch it go down the pan.

As a Green badge driver for the past 10 years, I have watched this trade slip further into oblivion year after year, and at this rate I can't see much further past the Olympics.

Those 10 years have been full of lies and untruths, and if we don't change that it will be all over.

Nobody has tried as much as me to get all the unions working together, but instead the others have all ganged up on the RMT and used their time, energy and resources to attack us, instead of trying to resolve the problems.

Well we aren't gonna let them stop us. And if that means battling them along the way, then that's what we'll do.

Don't worry though, I only waste my 'spare' energy on them.

GBC no longer comes to our forum, because he knows he can't fool us.

Don't let him fool you!

Dizzy.





Well you're fooling nobody. :D

The RMT have been exposed for being backstabbing cnuts, and you don't like it.

But your reaction is no more than can be expected from the communists of the London Taxi trade.

The truth?

You represent a tiny amount of drivers, fewer than 4%.

No one in authority listens to a word you say, and it gets to you.

You're in partnership with the Minicab trade union, and that’s now been exposed.

Your run by a first class cretin that’s been in every trade body that ever existed, and if you really want to listen to words of one syllable, there's your man.

None of your members seem to give a jot about any of your (many) demos, Speaks volumes.

You, personally, spend every woken minute trying to spread lies and make personal attacks on the LTDA / LCDC executives, on this RMT forum where you seem to spend every minute of the day. What a great life you lead.

Your executives were running a Minicab operation under the guise of booking taxis.

You support the Rickshaws running amock uncontrolled.

The RMT is despised by the travelling public, and now, thanks to you, all of our names are tarnished with the association with militant overpaid t***s from the Railway Union.

There's the truth, and TAXI will continue to print the truth about the enemy within.

The games dead? Going into oblivion? More crap, where were you on Saturday morning or Sunday morning at 3am when there were people everywhere looking to get home?

Oh yes, on a cab forum telling everyone how terrible the taxi trade is and how the RMT will sort it out.

I used to think of you as an intelligent individual, you've been brainwashed by the made up cause buddy.

Get out before it eats you up and you start swearing at the customers in the name of the RMT.

Try driving a cab sometimes, you'll find people pay you well. :-$

Sorry Nidge, it will never happen, they're like the lunatic fringe.

It's akin to your local association having to join up with Charlies bunch, or having Terry Flanagan and his diplomacy dealing with the local Police on your behalf.

What really troubles the other 96% of the trade, is our good name is now being fooked by the RMT.

The travelling London public hate the RMT and it's soapbox socialist leader, now they see the work TAXI next to it, and thats us tarnished for ever more.

When you've got 3 or 4 groups battling it out for the top table the authorities / PCO are going to love it. For the good of the trade all the infighting has got to stop and all get under one group / association.

Looking in from the outside it looks like there's to many people getting rich off the backs of hard working cab drivers. I'm not going to get into a this group will be better than that group, I have no knowledge of the London Cab business for me to say that.

I am going to say one thing though, the RMT are idiots when it comes to cab driving they are only in it for the money, the local Stagecoach RMT rep has been trying to recruit us.

We are united, all three of the main trade bodies, the LTDA, the LCDC, and the Unite union all meet regularly and have regular meetings up at the PCO.

I've never known a time where all three have worked in such harmony in tackling the major issues of the day. Even Unite seem to have acccepted we now need a choice of vehicles. :shock:

Of course we all know who the odd ones out are, the ones going left, when we're all turning right.

'No one likes us we don't care' as the traditional football song goes.

Well well still making vile evil attacks.

The big Three LoL
( RMT now recruiting at an alarming rate, mostly disgruntled LTDA members, and the recent lies in Taxi)
are not so cosy.
Bob not told you about the the bust up yet?
We got it on tape!

Do you remember the Police sergeant I reported you to when you sent me a death threat by PM, well he has been promoted and just informed me my case is being handled by a nice WPC , so try to keep the language to a respectful level as she has to read your police.
I've always been surprised at the level of profanity you use when trying to post a comment on the Anderson Shelter under a multitude of different identities. Its a sign of a bad debater, a mass one in your case with all the comments I have had to moderate, leading to your eventual banning.

They have informed me you have change internet providers to disguise your IP address but not to worry as your IP now has to keep records of all your actions.

Have you seen the form that Bob has come up with if you want to leave his cosy little income provider?
Makes fantastic copy.

The answers he gets must be hilarious.

Even the bald guy has admitted they are worried about the amount of subscription cancellations.
Oh I forgot, he don't like you does he.
