Taxi Driver Online

You never had a case in the first place.

Here's a better question though.

What's the GMB doing about it?

You represent them as a union.

Then why do you keep posting the same kind of stuff over and over again? If it's there for people to find they'll find it if they're so minded. They don't need people gleefully making FOI requests so they can post it here triumphantly.

I think the point he's making is that you're deliberately muddying the waters and doing a guilt by association thing. Your own posts in this thread alone show your bias ("one our side, hundreds on yours").

Perhaps there is something to be said about the licensing of individuals and how the LA's are doing it but the last thing the discussion needs are single-issue broken records arguing from an openly biased position.

It keeps me and GBC entertained saltmarket

My case is that your only reason for highlighting problems within the London Private Hire industry is for your own personal financial gain.

I represent the members of the Southern Region Professional Drivers Branch and I would advise you to contact the Branch Secretary of the London Professional Drivers Branch for information of that nature.

Regards

BB

I felt a tremor within The Force just for moment there.

Anyway, back to Cabby John's post.

You're correct, but as long as people from distant parts with no PNC checkable backgrounds are allowed licenses, this will continue unabated.

How can someone from war torn Afghanistan arrive here with no 'checkable' background and two months later he's got his little Sat nav and is claiming to be a 'cabbie'.

Only in Britain.

I bet you're a real hit at parties!

Your perceived reason surely?

Get real BB, they're the competition, by acting in the way that they do, we don't have to give them any bad publicity, they do that on their own . . . strangely enough just like the person you mention at the end of your post.

No your words!

Well they would'nt.

And the more people who choose a licensed Taxi over a Minicab, then the more business for us.

Thats fact. Even Communists understand facts.

Don't they?

maybe another?

Students and staff have united in a campaign called Manchester for Jobs and Education against the recently announced 127 redundancies as the “first wave” of job cuts at the Manchester Metropolitan University. It was formed by the three unions at MMU - Unison, GMB and the UCU - while Communist Students and student members of the Socialist Workers Party and Permanent Revolution are also involved in the campaign.

It doesn't matter who the communists are. You've started to use logic and fact and got the heart of the matter with one or two posts. He'll now resort to name calling, spurious arguments and pulling stuff out of his arse to sound clever. If you get all three plus the bonus of a sweeping generalisation in one post I think you win something.
