Toots, you are a head case. You and Dougie, should get it together. Saying that I am starting to think you might have been separated at birth. There must be a genetic link in there somewhere, an alien abduction perhaps.

Oh shock, surprise my opinion isn't the same as Jabars. Your point?

I've cracked it. Head case Toots and head case Dougie are Corsican twins. Spilled out of the regular inter-galactic intellgence mission by extra=terrestrial intelligencies who recognise there is no understanding of the wit of mankind by trawling the inner recesses of what passes as minds of the Toots/Dougie combine.

Toots can be the right toots and dougie can be the left toots. A real couple of toots

Isn't it amazing that even in this preposterous scenario Dougie is still not right?

Private Reggie said, this trade should be about individuals

What about the individual who cant afford £50,000 and dont foget the interest on the loan. If you did not have to pay this your £60000 better off straight away. what about the individuals who have never paid this, the system made them £50000 better off straight away,

and the individuals chucked out the airport

or the highland show

or the pollock halls

balmoral hotel

there is nothing individual about joining city cabs or central although both companys are good at what they do...... making money

everything has to be in boxes for big time taxi driver Dougie, or it fires off a whole set of unused neurons,causing a cascade meltdown of his cerebellum.

Quantative easing?

You mean the modern euphemism for inflation. For printing money you don't have?

There can be no better way for capitalists to steal the wealth of the working man than reducing the value of the money in his pocket.

You sell your labour for a tenner.

The value of the total pot stays the same, more money printed means the new pound buys you less of that pot.

Capitalists are bullet proof, money makes money. Interest rates mean the rich get richer, the poor get poorer.

Politicians get knighted or a nice cosy seat in the Lords, expenses and all or highly paid non-executive directorships (paid for doing nothing as a thank you for working the system in capitalist interests). The top guys even get to make speaking tours where the contol group can legally throw money at them, ostensiby for public speaking, but really as a "legal" buy off for being a good egg and working the system properly and to capital's profit.

I always believed that Keir was brought into the system by Inch.

I believe Obama has similarly been brought into the system.

That's how the system works.

This is what Dougie believes in.



It's a crock ....

I accept how power works, Every man has the oppertunity to climb the ladder of capitalism, (with investment of course), until he is happy when finding his level, i'm happy at my level, just enough for a good life

If this is truly what you belive, why do you want stop multi plate holding

Dougie, is a mass of contradictions. You could be forgiven for thinking that, Dougie, is off his head.

I take it you havn't read my view on Multi plate holding and previous views on Multi plate holding

What i'm saying doesn't affect the guy's who hold 1 or 2 licences even up to 4 or 5 but they will pay double per plate held for their annual test's, So if the first examination test (vehicle) is £250, a second licence held would be £500 added to the first licence, the cost of putting there 2 taxi's through there annual test would be £750

An example:1st licence 250 then 2nd licence 500= for both 750, a 3rd would be 1000+ the first 2=1750, a 4th would be 2000+ the first 3= 3750, a 5th would be 4000 + the first 4= 7750 and so on

The above example is to discourage mass multi plate holding, do you not agree that mass plate holders should pay more for things like annual examinations, they take out more profit but do less work, Taxi companies like a co-operative is a benefit to our trade and the individuals within it.

The above doesn't punish the guy with 2 licences, an extra 250 per year, or the guy with 3 licences an extra 1000 pound a year, but what it does do if you take say holding 6-100 licences is make it an un-attractive proposition for infiltraitors or profiteers.

So i'm not against Multi plate holding i'm for a fairer level of restriction, a level playing feild based on the difference between an individual plate holder like me too a mass plate holder like ECPH, the profit difference between me and a mass plate holder is the significance of my point.

I could buy another 2 plates tomorrow, 3 double shifted taxi's, £300 per 12 hr shift= £30,000 per year per Taxi, £90k a year - £15k a year for 3 positions in say City cabs, - £30,000 per year for finance of 3 new taxi's, this leaves £45k per year profit, after 3 years i'd have my whole investment back if i bought my licences and positions for £40k each and still have 3 finance free taxi's with radio positions, earning me after 3 years £75k a year, now for 3 annual test's it would hardly break the bank if i had to pay £1,750 as a result of having just 3 licences.

That level of capitalism is what i'm happy with and if someone wants to go further then and like in business the higher up the ladder you go you pay more for your investment and you pay more in taxes to manage that investment.

Individuals pay less than Mass plate holders who should pay more, trust me the council are looking at this as they need the money, court cases and aw, but taylor and thompson think by pushing the de-restriction button the gates will open, well the council will just come up with another form of restriction and it could be New York New York.

Your move Taylor

I feel like a pawn on a chess board with Taylor and Thompson just waiting on moving into check mate Sunset, and they no the game they are playing and so do the council
