The question has to be, will Dod Aird (Company Chairman) and Les McVey (Company Secretary) resign after their members spectacular vote of no confidence in their leadership?

If they had any integrity whatsoever, their resignations should have been a forgone conclusion.

At a guess, from afar, NO!

Bitter?

I would see the no vote to a proposed merger as the city members having full faith in their commitee and they don't want CRT commitee coming in and putting their stamp on things

Also, had the merger went ahead, with a majority of CRT members it would only be a matter of time before the CRT commitee oust the city commitee in the new "super company"

I think not to resign is to show you are only interested in lining your pockets at the members' expense.

This merger was driven by greed and self-interest. The right idea, but the wrong interests being served.

I understood that McVey was asked the question whether he would stand down and not seek election in the new merged outfit, to show that he had put the interests of the members before his own.

Word is that he flatly rejected such a step.

Surely this proves that this whole venture was about a gravy train for those in power, with the members being taken along to provide it?

Did anyone ever envisage Aird, McVey and Phlegming in anything other than £70 GRAND A YEAR cushie numbers?

I wonder how much the second raters like Pentland would have been thrown as scrap to get them to go along with the "heist"



You're not wrong Sussex. Methinks you've got their number well taped.

You must be Dod, or Les or one of their bum-chums to come away with that shi*e.

A new company has new rules and a blank cheque for whoever controls the purse strings. Dod, Les and Murray would have been in a position to take control for themselves. Any professionals brought in to run the new company would be working for their committee.

If the bold boys were really serious about a merger, they would have excluded themselves from the process.

As Jim says, this was no merger, it was a heist.

The members in both camps got lucky.

Just a thought, but how stupid are CRT's members, not to have worked out that Murray is up to his neck in the attempted heist of their company, and it's not for the first time? The bold boy spent a fortune on consultants to convince the members to pay him 50K a year. A year further on, and now it's a merger.

I don't know how it happened, but I think it is true to say that the majority, the 98% for a merger, are a bunch of ar*eholes. That leaves 2% that should join city cabs.

A merger is a good idea but not good enough to lose your company to a bunch of low life's like Fleming.

The membership of CRT, should be thanking their City Cab brothers for saving their company.

What neck is that precisely?

How is it that everybody sees what naeneck is up to, apart from CRT members?

The job for life.



BTW Aren't the leg openers in Salamander also 98% committed.

Here's another little nugget from the world of Dod, Les and Murray. Rumour has it. They are feeling a little dejected after their so close, but yet so far away merger no vote.

I wonder if this mean there will be resignations in the offing?

Here's a little suggestion for the boys on both sides of the divide. Have both committees, agree to a limited term in office, and then they must stand down. You don't have to replace the whole committee. You could stagger the process over a number of years to suit the demands of the company and its members. That way, no committee could screw the members out of their company.

Once you've got their agreement under your belt arrange for joint meeting, and go through the whole presentation process again, and then take a vote.


Your choice.

It's the same in politics. Vested interests gain control and democratic accountability goes out the window.

We would all benefit, particularly in local government, but also at national level if each elected representative served no more than two terms, unless he or she reaches higher office, when 3 or 4 terms should be the max.

There is a dichotomy between the interests of the committee members and the members.

Problem is, with the use of proxies, the committee members can engineer outright control.

Question is, have the members ever really had control of their company?

And if that were so, how did naeneck manage to stay in post for over 10 years?
