Drowning men, clutching at straws. Your council don't give a sh*t about you, just like every other council. They will sell you down the river in a heartbeat to save their own a*ses, as you will soon find out. Whatever they decide to do will be what suits their interests best, not yours. That's what they have been doing for years. You have benefitted from their restricted numbers policy by accident, not design. They will sh*t on you when it suits their purpose and they won't care then either. Whether you like it or not, change is coming.

It's no accident that we are covered by the same legislation as scrap metal dealers and the sex industry. That's how we are seen and treated by local and national politicians. Not as professional business people but as shady characters that need to be watched.


I wish I'd said that.

:lol:

you must be the latest recruit to the derestriction movement led by the worshipful Skull (strings pulled by JD, payments from C*****) and Taylor (Skulls ersewhile lover (deliberate spelling error))

Do you know who's pulling the strings and who's paying the piper?

I know a man who does.

Well I have never received a penny from anyone in the trade who I have helped gain their own plate, nor will I ever receive one.

So that puts your little theory right in the bin. :-$

And your erse is twitching so much we can hear it from here.

What does it matter who's paying? What your council have done and are doing IS ILLEGAL. Soon they will cast the lot of you aside in an effort to save themselves. They owe you nothing and that is what they will leave you with.

Problem is that the numpties don't realise this.

City of Edinburgh Council is only interested in their own interests. That was maintaining their policy to allow their bus company to become the best in Britain.

Now they've got their tram system to consider. And with Labour, LibDems and the Tories all voting as a single party - what used to be considered strange bedfellows - they have rendered party politics redundant.

And, Councillors have only their own interests at heart. For most that's simply climbing up the political ladder. A pity former council leader failed to get reelected isn't it? Anyway, interests like working for the bus company or having their own private hire interests means that the interests of those who would suck up to them are of no importance whatsoever.

Which is why you're right Gusmac. The council will shecht on them in a heartbeat.

:lol:
