Id sign the petition it if it had Private Hire in the wording ..but it dont..thats because of the self righteous attitude and snobbery of the taxi driving elite failing to understand that bringing on board PH drivers would double their numbers in the petion...but if they wont class us as equals it will simply never happen....

oh!! and Private hire is used by the public as a form of public transport just as a taxi is...only booked differently..get over yourselves black cab guys...the bigger the one voice the louder it will be...

You are correct it doesn't say PH, but I can assure you that should a miracle happen and we get reduced duty, then it will also apply to all licensed PH vehicles. :wink:

Futile gestures aren't my bag, man.

This petition has as much chance of success as Hilary Clinton has of becoming a presidential candidate.

My butt isn't fat, and I am not whinging. In fact, I have taken very positive action against rising costs this very week.
