your correct about the encroachment,
the hackney carriage isnt the same monster it was 30 years ago either though
other sectors of transport are looking at our profession to see what they can take, all we can do is sit idle because not enough people are prepared to spend the time and effort to correctly fund the national bodies.
I dont see the NTA as a one trick pony, I wouldnt because I'm a member, I know theres honest people in there who do give a fig about whats happening, but hands are tied because of the apathy (a word that suits the profession) & funding.
The NTA's grasp on reality I think would open your eyes, certainly the views of the admin guy don't reflect your conclusion, well they didnt last time i spoke to him.

Fair comment and I accept that not all members are living in the past but there needs to be complete rethink on policy because there are a great many issues that need addressing and the body that is taking the lead role in these matters is the TGWU.
The TGWU rides many horses at the same time, it is noticible how silent they are when it comes to Transport legisaltion. Thats because they have more Bus members than they do Taxi members. We don't seem to fight our corner and we have let bus legislation drive a coach and horses through the 1847 act. Thats what I mean about forward thinking.
It matters not to me who runs our trade only that they are capeable of understanding the issues. Times are a changing and its about time the taxi trade changed with it.
