UH OH.....Liberals hate all things Cars or Planes..the only thing they do like is Trains. We are all doomed

And when he was leader of said council the local taxi trade had;

1) No age restrictions on cabs, even saloons.

2) No knowledge tests for drivers.

3) No meters in taxis.

If ever a dinosaur got power this is one.
