Taxi Driver Online

They might actually win something if they did.
The last time either won anything Queen Victoria presented the Cup.

What I in fact said was that I didn't complain about whether CTN was full of news or opinion, the reason I mentioned CTN was in response to your complaints about the articles on this site containing opinion, and the aim was to point out that if CTN can express its opinions then why can't this site?

CTN is perhaps an extreme example, but every publication of any kind has an opinion, whether something like this or a national newspaper. Indeed the trade press has plenty of opinions, in fact apart from the local NEWS stories from the provincial press most of the articles they publish are opinions.

By the way Mick, there's no need to be so formal, you can still call me Dusty

Well I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that the site was intended to remain objective, as I said above as with any other publication there's an editorial 'line' and as you might expect the people involved with the site tend to think along the same lines, and this is again common with any type of publication.

As I've said umpteen times the site welcomes contributions, but we haven't had anything from the T&G yet

We published Cabforce's article when they asked us, no hesitation. Does this mean we are pro-CABforce? No, of course not, but the site's aim is to encourage free speech and the like.

There were no objections when the CABforce piece was put up, so when there are complaints about other views then I tend to get the impression that it's the message that's being objected to, and these other objections are effectively an objection to views that the objector doesn't agree with.

As for the site being anti-T&G, personally I'm not particularly anti-union per se, but I am anti-quotas as you know, so if you want to spin that as being anti-T&G then that's your choice, but I don't think it's wholly accurate, either for me personally or the site generally. I would say the site's line is anti-quota, but then anyone can work that out for themselves without me having to point it out.

Sorry to anyone who read much of this this further up the thread, but people seem to think that this site shouldn't have an opinion, while in the real world everything else has one and we all just accept it and get on with it.

I was recently told about this forum. Huh.Call this a forum? The core of this site is totally biased. I only look at it for actual news. The rest is total crap and pure drival with certain contributers using it make to up for their sad lives who want what others have but cant get it. I dont know how some of the contributers on here can afford the time that they do.
Here ends my first and only posting on here as it isnt worth tuppence.

disgracefull you know you are wrong, you are anti T and g you are not members and never will be why the hell should they debate on here to have your character assasinations?

Good.

Mr Guest, instead of rambling on, please point out the substance of your post.

It's very easy to post a handful of words saying nothing, but it makes your point irrelevant.

I'm not, nor have I ever said that this site shouldn't have an opinion Dusty. Its just clear that that opinion is anti T&G.

Only some members attempt to assainate characters Mr Guest, and these attempts normally follow points being proved. They then continue in an attempt to discredit the person they are berating still further.

Its all a bit rich really, when you consider they are now defending THEIR rights to voice their opinion.

B. Lucky

Thanks for that Mr Actual.

Of course you could post up any taxi news that you come across. It will be most welcome and will not be amended nor deleted.

That I will promise you.

As for your last sentence, well isn't it funny how someone from your same IP address, said the same thing about a week ago.

I would like to make this very clear that Actual News was not another name for Scanner. .....I did not make these posts. I have shown this site to two people from my pc recently.. and put one of them up for a few days.....and whatever one of these have posted is their view and not mine.
If any posting has been made that appears to have come from my IP address ( and I know all about IP addresses showing as I run a forum myself on a completely different subject and also run four websites and I am fully aware of collecting stats etc) and has caused offence to anyone then I apologise.

At the time of writing this I am only aware of one posting. So if there are any others that seem to appear from my IP address, then just ignore them if they cause offence.

I may not have agreeded with some people on here but I would not belittle myself in trying to post stupid remarks.

Perhaps this site should be members only with valid email addresses and strictly password controlled.

Back to the threads topic.

Is there anything in the T&G's critique that people say is wrong?

I've read this being and that being wrong, and anti T&G, but where is the beef?

If it's wrong, please tell me where?
