Jim,

It seems that from what you are saying, that you are happy for criminals to be involved in taxi and phc companies, just as long as they have a front man.

I congratulate the police on their actions. There have been shootings, stabbing and god knows what else going on in glasgow for some time where the victim or suspect has been described as "involved in a private hire taxi company".

But that's ok with you it seems.



I second that! :D

I don't care who operates in the business, just as long as they obey the rules.

There is nothing to suggest that this company has broken PH rules. The cops have attached matters to them and are using licesing to dig them out. This is insidious.

You may be next. Now read the text again and this time engage your brain for a change.

As for PH, which is what this company is. That they exist in the numbers they do, which is what I suspect you really object to, is entirely down to your restriction of taxis. By denying me and my ilk our rights you've elevated PH to a position of dominance in our market. You are a fool if you can't see this.

So, I say dig out those who break the licensing rules. And deresrict to bring back control to the senior service.

And, in doing so, help retain a society free from council and cop interference.

Whatever happened to the presumption of innocence before guilt?


What if you find yourself facing an accusation by the police, with no way to prove your innocence, simply because you haven't done anything? The police have no proof, but who needs proof when an accusation is good enough. You can wave goodbye to your licence boys, and any other rights you might think, you have.

Don't forget tx_op, what's good for the goose? :shock:

Cops win fight to block taxi firm

Friday, 23 April, 2010


It was not revealed why the committee rejected the applications for offices at Atlas Industrial Estate and Aitken Road, Glasgow But a Network spokesman said last night: "We are bitterly disappointed and will appeal."


Assistant Chief Constable George Hamilton said he was "very pleased" at the decision.

Source; http://www.thesun.co.uk/scotsol/homepag ... -firm.html



Perhaps someone can explain why it is acceptable for a committee to make a decision to refuse licences without having to give a reason?

How is this different from Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot or Saddam Hussein making decisions they didn't have to explain?

And, given that the same treatment can easily be meted out to the rest of the taxi trade, why is the trade not up in arms about this very thin edge of the wedge?

It's OK to allow this to slip through the net because we don't like this particular company, or what it stands for, or the effect it has on our business, but will it still be OK when the cops and the council are doing it to us?

Shouldn't there be outrage that licensing is being abused to circumvent the fundamenal laws of the land? And that the cops are being used not as independent adminstrators of the law, but as instruments of government control?

Wayne, you do yourself no service with this kind of humour. Why not raise the bar a little, engage the argument, your choice?

Jimmy boy,

You will argue against anything done by any council or authority.

If that means that you support drug dealers and gangsters,

Then that seems to be fine with you!



The choice is who would you support, Gangsters and Drug Dealers OR The police and council ?

It is clear you support the first, but I think you will find most people will choose the second.
