I just wish that instead of playing the one up manship games, attempting to discredit others, certain people should look at working for the trade generally and not just those who choose to support them.

I have debated the proposals, you have debated nothing other than who sat where around the table.

I always have a busy one, and don't ever abuse the 1976 act.

Unlike some. :roll: :roll:

The point gusamc is that all the representative groups stated they would need to consult with their membership ..................... not just one as has been suggested by Suspect.

If you was there you would know that was rubbish, and if it wasn't rubbish then who and what has been consulted.

TBH you should have been there, cos they need a few more mugs to roll over.

We will see how this story develops .................... but as I'm no longer a member of any representative oprganisations I'm glad that they are all disussing issues regarding the whole trade and that can only be good for the trade generally.

I think the word you are looking for is apathy.

Who told you that?


The mere fact that they are representative groups clearly signifies that the membership would need to be consulted, this has been accepted as a fact within the reports

I have no idea whether the consultations have been held


Tell me, who is the Liverpool T&G going to consult with? Who is Taxi Talk going to consult with? Who is the NNTTG going to consult with? Who is the NPHA going to consult with and who is the NTA going to consult with?

When you find out the answers let us know.


Liverpool T&G .................. is that the same as Brighton GMB.

Taxi-talk are not a representative organisation so I have no idea why you would suggest that they had a membership to consult with .................. but an appraisal of what was said will be appearing in the next edition, I'm sure of that.

The NPHA, and NTA will I'm sure consult with their membership and the NTTG will consult with members of their group.

What makes you think they won't ................... other than your asumptions and second guess work we are all supposed to take as fact by your word.

Sounds as though you already know who these guys are going to consult with therefore we shouldn't have to wait long for your response.


The answer to your insane question is their members :roll:

Welcome to the silent majority, I was informed that Gateshead T&G members and Gateshead NTA members were excluded from the consultation process. Therefore it is no wonder that not one taxi driver in Gateshead has heard of these proposals or what they mean for them but maybe you can inform the local cab trade at some stage of the game just why they are being excluded?


Excluded from what ................ from discussions ..................... NOTHING has been proposed to anyone .................. its just your moronic failure to seek facts, relying on your asumptions of what "might" happen.

What issues are they discussing that are beneficial to the Taxi Trade? I'm keen to know what you mean by, "can only be good for the trade", especially after you reading the minutes of these meetings and then showing your ignorance as to the content.

Maybe you can out-do Mr T and explain to the taxi trade just what he, taxitalk and every other entity involved in these closed shop proceedings have so far failed to do and that is explain to the taxi trade the "positives" and "negatives" of these proposals?

Or perhaps you, like all the rest, don't have a clue?

Regards

JD


What do you suggest then JD ............... 250,000+ people in a room disussing the issues relating to this industry .................. thats going to achieve a lot isn't it.

The fact remains that the MOM group is made up of all representative groups as well as other individuals and organisations who can "bring something to the party".

As far as them "explaining" their discussions with the taxi trade ............... why ................ the vast majority of the taxi trade is quite happy to allow representative groups to decide without them even being involved ................... but you don't want an explaination for them, you want an explaination for yourself :shock:

My point is that you thought and reacted to something that you assumed was going to happen ..................... and when you found out that it hadn't happened you try to claim that it would have happened if you hadn't interviened.

I was going to give you £1m when I won the lottery ................. but as I didn't win the lottery I can't.

Ok then, tell me how these proposals help the trade?

If you want to start up another thread on who's who on the MoM then please feel free, but leave this thread to the proposals.

Or are you content with them all?


What proposals Sussex .............. who were these proposals made too .............. I cannot leave a thread disussing an event that NEVER happened without mentioning the fact that it NEVER happened.

Professional consultees, remind me and anyone else who gets paid for what?

Or are we back to the Manchester Sports lawyer farce? ](*,)


Oh no Sussex ............... this is opening a whole series of new allegations, but the wonderful world of computers connected to the www uncovers and records many things of great interest.

Wait and see though :wink:

I know your always busy down there ................... its to be hoped that all those drivers driving cabs Monday to Saturday are making enough money to pay the bloke who owns the car and plate.

I think anyone who abuses the law is beneath contempt ................ however if that accusation is underhandedly directed at me then I would request that you elaborate further, and in turn I will.

Yes you would have thought so, so why was the letter dated the day of the MoM meeting?

How could anyone debate with their members the late proposal by the NPHA?

Still NALEO will be very pleased that we have licensed drivers just like you who are prepared to accept what others agree on their behalf. [-(

Is Pat Conner a member of the B&H GMB, cos he was their on the GMB behalf.

Is TF a member of the B&H GMB, cos he wrote the letter disassociating the GMB from any proposals sent by NALEO.

It must really grate with you that only one union has consulted it member?

Or did I miss the proposals in CTN?

So the proposals aren't really proposals then? :lol: :lol:

And the letter NALEO wanted to send on the day, having been rubber stamped by the sheep, wouldn't have been a problem for you? [-X

The GMB was asked by the NALEO rep to not put it up on their site for a number of days, to give them time to write to the DfT saying the proposals were now being consulted on.

If NALEO didn't send a letter then they misled the MoM.

Look for the proposals on the minutes, if those proposals didn't make it to the DfT then that's not down to the likes of you.
