Well you may say we set up the 'witch hunt', I would say that you were set up by those two ex-members. :wink:

as for witch hunts, if TDO feels a little miffed, hows about some of the debatable points made in the vehicles section.

whilst I have no problem with people slagging off cars they own, you seem to have people slagging off vehicles they know sweet FA about!

However, if this website had been kowtowing to rather than challenging the vested interests in the trade, the actions and complaints of these individuals would never have arisen. If Taxi Driver Online can be accused of any wrongdoing, then Taxi Talk, Private Hire and Taxi Monthly, Cab Trade News and several websites should stand similarly accused.


lol I dont know how you come to this conclusion, although I do genuinely feel that the site is above reproach.

The vested interests to which you refer are generalised, and this is something that gets people confused.

Admittedly, if I was a multiple plate holder in a restricted authority, I may have a vested interest, the same goes for a single plate owner. However, you constantly fail to grasp the fact that some in the trade have borrowed money, with their houses/kneecaps/testicles as security.

Whilst it is all well and good a small section of the sacred goat that is M&R stating that these people will be respected, the fact of the matter is that they aren't, when councils delimit, they (the poor sucker who has a plate on hp) are shafted, pure and simple.

As for the activities currently around the nation, the domino theory is a fact, but an insult and disrespectful to everybody concerned.

Regards

The matter will be approached on a case by case basis.

You'll have to be a bit more specific Captain, which points or posts are you referring to?

We can express views, but ultimately we are not responsible for the actions of LAs.

By the way, I don't think the bit you alluded to in M&R is actually there, it's in one of the articles on the frontpage.

As for the vested interests, I don't think it really matters how many plates people have or how they got them or how long they've had them, a vested interest is a vested interest, ie:

From Dictionary.com:

- A special interest in protecting or promoting that which is to one's own personal advantage.
- vested interests - Those groups that seek to maintain or control an existing system or activity from which they derive private benefit.

From Bartelby.com

A phrase that indicates a deep personal (and possibly financial) interest in some political or economic proposal: “As a major stockholder of the Ford Motor Company, Senator Bilge had a vested interest in legislation restricting the import of Japanese autos.” The plural, vested interests, often refers to powerful, wealthy property holders: “His radical policies enraged vested interests.”

Does that signify paranoia? [-(

The solicitor's surname is used in subsequent messages, and his full name, business address and telephone number were published on a taxi firm's website as part of a claim that he runs Taxi Driver Online.

How strange. :shock:

Those details are no-longer on that website. I wonder if Mr Scanner has got off his back side and checked out Nigel's story? :-k

I also wonder if Mr Scanner will ever believe the lies of Nigel and the Angel :^o again? [-(
