Because the unions had been so militant over years and years that there was effectively little or no productivity. The resultant lack of investment confidence resulted in a poor, unreliable product range.

No-one else wanted to buy it except a group of asset strippers.


Agree 100%

They made (I do not like the word 'got.' It can always be substituted.) every call on the economy right.

This profligate government has wasted our money. No one on benefits needs to work; All those who try to create jobs and wealth are taxed out of existence. Why else were we the last major economy to emerge from recession when we were being told we're better placed than most other economies to withstand the 'global' downturn?

Pull the other one; It hasn't been taxed yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the 1st 6 months then they'll close it with their tax and interest rate hikes.

I don't want my street signs being written in Urdu in the future.

If Labour hadn't let in half of the Indian Sub Continent and Turkey, the unemployment figures would have been half of what they stand at today.

And as for trade unions . . :lol:


Did Boris not recently change his mind on London Cab age limits?



Nope. Its under consultation with Britains biggest Taxi driver representative body.

And as for your other comments, I would expect no more from a Union Puppet.

Goodbye Labour. \:D/


Chill GBC time will tell, although I can't see a conservative government listening to cab drivers, don't remember the last one doing so! The party of market forces!


I believe it was the tories who brought in deregulation/delimitation!! :roll: :-|
Made the mess we are in now :twisted:

I thought it all came about in 2003 via the DFT and their advice.

That would make it on the Labour Watch.

Besides, London has always been 'de-limited' or what ever terminology folks prefer to use, but we have the highest driver standards in the world, hence we still make a decent living from the Taxi game.

Good point GBC.......the tories may have brought in the 1985 transport act, but the Labour Party has had 13 years plus to sort it out......all they seem to have done is encourage deregulation.
