Is this a photo of an NTA board meeting, a Unite the Union meeting, an NPHA board meeting, an NTTG board meeting, a TDO member's meeting, or just a meeting of random taxi drivers?
And is the elephant a regular attendee at these meetings, because elephants are a symbol of wisdom in Asian cultures and are famed for their memory and intelligence.
Nope......is a picture of the massive elephant in the room that almost everyone is forgetting about.
Lets not forget the nature and ultimate objective of the law commission enquiry and it's 'Deregulatory' approach.
From what I've read the unions and some others seem more interested in getting their training schemes underpinned in any new act........its as if training (or the lack of it) has brought us to this current situation ffs.
Everyone seems to be p*ssing about with things like CRB checks, driver medicals, training and so on..........not one of the things mentioned are the failings of either the 1847 or 1976 acts.
They also seem content in allowing local authorities to take charge of any new act.......I point out that these are the same local authorities that have and continue to fail the current laws.
They seem to want licensing funded via fines.....................can anyone tell me if they've discussed their new goals with the drivers who'll receive the fines???
I might well say....ffs.
