lol yes I mean that one. I haven't heard much of Mr Kavanagh since he basked in the splendour of that eventful moment in 2004. Do you think he has heard about his beloved Watford?

Perhaps we should call him up and ask him where the T&G in Watford went wrong? There has to be a good story attached to this episode?

Regards

All supported by the likes of the NTA and T&G. Image

They do indeed no something . A taxi license is a license to print money . You buy a cab and plate , get a mug like me, to drive it , I pay laods of dosh rent to you, so i then , like most people i know, i have to claim tax credit . So you cant loose . The tax payer is in effect, buying your plate for you . Who said taxis were not subsidised ?. I am sure tax payers money ,could be better spent. sick Babys , elderly etc .Streetcar[/img] :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Blairs britain every one, getting hand outs , brilliant . T&G NTA i hope your pleased with your selves .

The difference between my good friend Jimbo, and a few others I could mention if could be bothered, is that Jimbo doesn't call those he is having a rare up with liars.

The lying toad. :lol:

Introduction


It's a pleasure to be here today. Thank you for inviting me.

Clearly I'm not keeping up with things, as I didn't know the cow Buck had departed the department till just now. \:D/

By all accounts she left in March and wasn't replaced. :D

That will teach her to say such things about quotas. They can run, but they can't hide. :wink:

The Information I read says she stopped being Parliamentary secretary for the Department for Transport on 26 April 2006. I wonder if the DfT is sending out Job applications?

I was looking at Karens Bucks pedigree and it makes you wonder how she got the job in the first place?

Avation minister resigns

2nd March 2006

Avation minister resigns

Karen Buck, the Aviation Minister, is resigning. Although Ms Buck said that her resignation was not due to any disillusionment with government transport policy, she was known to have been unhappy with her aviation brief for some time.


The resignation comes just weeks before she was due to make controversial announcements on night flights and runway alternation at Heathrow. Before the end of March the Department of Transport will announce its future plans for night flights at Heathrow, Stansted and Gatwick. The Department is also expected to embark on its controversial plans to end runway alternation at Heathrow over the next few weeks.

Karen Buck has said that she wants now to work on the London Poverty Commission.

Comment from John Stewart, Chair HACAN ClearSkies: “There have been rumours for some time now that Karen Buck was not comfortable with her aviation brief. If she has decided to go before she had to make announcements that could well result in more planes using Heathrow, we applaud that decision.”

Comment (slightly tongue in cheek) from Nic Ferriday, West London Friends of the Earth: “It is interesting that Karen Buck wishes to work on poverty. One of the main defences by the government of cheap, tax-free flights is that it they help poor people to fly. If Ms Buck believed that, perhaps she should have helped London’s poor by staying in office and continuing to support cheap flights.”
