Aberdeen city council have yesterday knocked back the fare increase for 2007!!
With the elections being only a few days away,it seems this was a political move and to hell with cabbies!
Who has more votes? cabbies or public??
This council is a disgrace and won't be missed when they lose on thursday!
good ridance!

Alas the public, but I know who has the longest memories.

They are all the same. And you are kidding yourself if you think they have your best interests at heart-they don’t. Politicians are the same the world over. They are all Machiavellian types serving their own self-interests, and if that happens to benefit you and yours, then it’s only because you got lucky. The system is set-up to protect and reinforce the interest of those you empower to control you. It’s not about being fair or even-handed, they simply don’t care. Their world is about the benefit or the damage you can bring to their political careers. And the only way you can do that is through incentives or the courts. If you have nothing to offer them - or can take nothing away – you are stuffed. All you do is vote in more of the same, different faces but more of the same….

Then in the next evenings paper it says " council use taxi's to deliver postal ballot papers for the election" !!!!!!!!!
Whoever deleivered them needs their heads looked at! They should have told them to "stick it up your arse"
