Now why would I stand against CC for a position in a supposedly national organisation which doesn't operate in Scotland?
In fact the only interest the NTA seem to have up here is CC's.

Then perhaps you've answered your own question/point...maybe CC is speaking for himself and not the NTA?????

Would you be up for it Sussex? :-|

I would, but I doubt many others would. :sad:

Whatever the issue at hand may be, the vast majority of the trade don't really care too much about the vast majority of the trade, and they would care even less if they had to dip their hands in their pockets.

The only issue that the trade really care enough about to dip their hands is restricting taxi numbers.

For the likes of you and me, well TBH they don't generally give a f***.

Or if they do, it's not enough to stump up real hard earned cash. Which as it's their hard earned cash is fair enough.

...although someone may be able to correct claims such as Frank's on the 'other forum'.

People claim a lot of things, it doesn't mean they are right.

However if you wish to believe what you read on forums, then, once again, so be it.

As was (I believe) perfectly clear in 'the above'...I never expressed a view as to whether Frank was right.

Skull and Jasbar are (probably rightly) allowed their free speech, even if many disagree, but why then can Frank or even Torn Casualty not allowed a second (or possibly third :wink:

) chance? It could appear to only be 'working one way', so to speak.

I feel it's a bit rich folks moaning about free speech on the same scottish forum that doesn't afford the same to Mr Skull and Mr Jasbar.

Again Sussex....more careful examination would identify that I am quite clearly asking for 'equality' of that free speech...not saying that Skull and Jasbar should not be allowed theirs.

What IS "a bit rich" however, is your suggestion that Skull and Jasbar don't get free speech (and take full advantage of it) on TDO!!! :shock:

(yes I know what you meant, note the wink & smiley!)

I couldn't give a monkeys over who has or who has not got free speech.

My point is that some are bellyaching about free speech on a forum that doesn't allow it.

The thread title doesn't name anyone.

It did when it was first posted. It has been changed. :wink:

Personally I think it matters not if the name is in the title if the intention is to slur a member just because you can

It's TDO's policy to pretend no one ever gets barred ... but then... it also thinks everyone is stupid.. :roll:

Wayne (uncle Tom) Casey shows his true colours once again. If roles were reversed, I would have no hesitation in giving him 100% support. I think this proves his position is about sucking up to those who lord it over people regardless of how they abuse a mans rights. Uncle Tom's like Wayne drag us all down, join the NTA, you've got to be having a laugh. . . :roll:

I don't think you should base a respected (regardless of what you think) national association on one person, that's very narrow minded of you. As said in the other post if you don't do anything like join an association or a union you will not be heard by those that make the difference

If we weren't being heard Skull would still be driving a taxi today.

Don't you realise it doesn't get any more simple than that?

Yup, no free speech for Skull or I.

Apparently they couldn't stomach the message so they banned the messengers.

It's a laff though for them now to claim that they have free speech on their forum.

Anyone with any doubt should just compare that forum with this one.

It's dead, it has nothing to say, no argument to debate. Whle this section is so vibrant it exercises the minds of CC and his co-stalwarts to develop the personal antagonism to replace the real argument they are incompetent to make.

Case in point. How will restricting taxis in Dundee benefit drivers?

Simple question. But Stationtone, CC et al can't, or refuse to answer.

We all know why.

:lol:

I wonder if Alex would also consider adding a "Donate via PayPal" link for this too, maybe running alongside the "skull fund" one. Perhaps we could make it a "winner takes all" competition and take a vote. :lol:
