It doesn't matter what you or skull think the cash is for. You want to buy a company that holds a taxi licence? You agree a price and pay it or you don't. Simple as that!

Look at the NotW article, one minute they scream about closing a LEGAL loophole, next they talk about a "black market" in plates - so are the transfers within the law or not? Make up your mind!

As for taylor, it is disgraceful that he misquotes a judge's statement in a rape case in order to promote his view on derestriction. Absolutely immoral, disgusting and only serves to prove his manic obsession about derestriction being a panacea for just about all the evils in the world.

In Edinburgh we are well used to taylor plumbing the depths of depravity just to fulfil his pathological desire for publicity.

What taylor doesn't know, he just makes up (and he is ignorant of most subjects he sounds off about)

How many have bought companies without a licence. Of course they wouldn't because such a company is worthless. The company has no value without the licence. Therefore what you are buying is the licence. The company aspect is just a mirage to cover the fact that licences are being transferred. The system was introduced ostensibly to allow licences to be passed onto descendants on death of the licence holder. It is now being abused.

I know you are hard of thinking but the legal loophole is incorporation, the blackmarket is what resulted from it. How difficult can it be to understand this. Only a vested interest myopia like yours swannee could get it wrong.

As for taylor, it is disgraceful that he misquotes a judge's statement in a rape case in order to promote his view on derestriction. Absolutely immoral, disgusting and only serves to prove his manic obsession about derestriction being a panacea for just about all the evils in the world.

Lady Smith stated openly that what this female needed was a licensed taxi to take her home safely to her hostel. How is this a misquote. The key word is "needed" the fact she didn't get one. Had the market been dictating supply then she may have, or again she may not. But unless and until the market is allowed to determine supply there will always be the question for the council to answer what the hell they think they're doing artificially limiting supply to prop up a blackmarket while the public are put at risk.

Curious that you believe that my asserting workers' rights to unfettered access to the tools of his trade and a fair shake for customers by not denying them the fullest access to the service, like every other commercial sector, is somehow plumbing the depths of depravity. A triumph of hope over reality I think.

What taylor doesn't know, he just makes up (and he is ignorant of most subjects he sounds off about)

What Taylor says he says in the full glare of publicity. I am not ashamed of my views, I articulate them well and forcefully. And that's what upsets you. I said from the outset that this trade is going to de-restrict. The fight doesn't end until it has. Now get used to it.

Human Rights and competition law supports my position. Every other market sector shows the way. There is no reason for the taxi market to operate any differently.

Swannee. You are out of step here. You have been allowed to buy into an illusion. But you did it of your own free, but stupid, will. It's YOUR fault, not any other's.

You really got to get a handle on it.

Well that says it all Dougie. Your words not mine.

You "paid for your plate". Not a company mind you, just a "plate". And we all know that plates are non-transferable.

Your own admission. You bought a pup.

I rest my case.

I've STATED many times that "I've paid for the operational right to use the plate, not own the plate",
Again you twist the truth

I rest my case NUMPTY

Did you not unerstand what you youself said Dougie?

You said that you paid for your plate 9 years ago.

Anyone else share this eminent "businessman's" inability to understand simple English?

no Dougie you were granted a license to operate a public license by the local authority.

what money exchange hands between you and the previous operator is the funny part where you believed you actually have a right of ownership or as you put a contract in place to operate as long as you wish.

you did not pay for the operational rights as you put it,because those rights only exist as long as the authority See's fit.

if they ever derestric Dougie i think you'll have a hard time convincing a court that you are entitled to any form of compensation,but you seem daft enough to try

oh btw, please don't approach the guy who drives my taxi enquiring about me.


he thought you were some sort of nut job.
i assured him that you are

btw if i sell my plates how can i claim I'm selling the goodwill,when I've always treated my costumers with contempt

if so what is the person that buys the plate paying for

Does Keir still have a very strong vested interest in EPH and the Buses????
