Taxi Driver Online

I doubt, in fact I know, that Swannee didn't think that!

Unlike you I have never bent over for council, Owner or PH crook and never will.

Sums you up though that you are not going to tell anyone why you work for a bent PH company.

Justify it to yourself in your own tiny mind, did you? Hypocrite!

btw, you prove yourself a scumbag over and over again, don't you. All you ever reply with are insults, you have no arguments else you would tell us why you chose to work with ECPH.

The last wheelchair job I carried out was from the Usher Hall. A little old lady no less with her friend assisting it was raining, and both were getting soaked as every taxi in Edinburgh had developed selective blindness. I pick them up and transported them to their destination. Despite the TX1, I was driving not being fit for the purpose.

It was my choice to do the job pure and simple.

Now is it hypocrisy to do a job that no one else wants at my own personal risk? Yes, there was some financial benefit involved, and it was not all done out of the goodness of my heart but hypocrisy. I'm not sure about that.

Tell me, Swannee, do you stop for every wheelchair customer you see or do you try to avoid them in most if not all circumstances, just like every other taxi driver in Edinburgh?

Oh I see. It's only hypocrisy if the job happens to be subcontracted out from the Ph, the meter fare plus a nice big backhander for doing the job, to me that makes good commercial sense.

So spare me the moral indignation Swannee, I know who the hypocrite is.


Incidentally, remember the exclusive CRT and City Cab rank at the Highland Show? Or what about Onward Forward and Backward Travel out at the airport?

I can remember the days when you didn't have to pay to provide your services to customers being sold on as commodities by commercial entities. If my memory serves me correctly, I think it was City Cabs and CRT that f*cked that up.

Do you ever put your brain in gear before you come up with this tripe

Keep taking the tablets.

Back on the hypocrisy theme, is it not hypocrisy to deny qualified drivers unfettered access to the tools of their trade while charging in some cases over £300 a week in rental fees to do the same job?

Perhaps you would be happier if qualified drivers made the jump the Ph?

I dont know why anyone would knock back any job just now, the jobs just not worth doing,if i was you garry i wouldny even consider coming back to this S~~TE find something else if you havent already the games FU***D !!!

Exactly. And precisely why every driver should have unfettered access to the tools of his trade.

If you can't have control over your costs, you cant make it work.

The trade is based on a fundamental immorality of servitude perpetrated by a fascist council.

BTW Whatever happened to the appeals decision. Four and a half months and still no decision.

So much for the independence of the Justiciary. It's not that difficult. Anyone doubt there's a political flanker being worked here?

So the system contrtols the courts.

A Chief Constable in the Met invokes the public order act to prevent opposition to the Monarchy placards at the wedding. She says there are 364 other days for the protests to be made. So the cops now decide if and when we're allowed to protest.

So much for the independence of the cops.

This system is rotten to the core. It is designed to control.

We don't have any human rights. The system syas we do, but the truth is we don't.

And Swannee is worried about some information he thinks he has about whether we do work for a PH company.

Methinks the child needs to stop sooking his dummy, grow up and deal with the real issues.

If you think the trade is [edited by admin] at the present moment the next two or three years are going to blow your socks off.

So, as I said, no answers then?

This thread has nothing to do with your campaigns, all you have done so far is prove you cannot address issues raised by others.

I can only assume you are not going to tell us why you are prepared to help out a crooked PH operator. And just shut up if all you are going to come out with is more unfettered bullshit.

It's hypocrisy when you consistently refused to carry wheelchairs for the taxi trade, citing health & safety but are prepared to do the same work for a bent PH operator, thus compromising your alleged principled stance.

Don't insult the taxi trade by assuming anyone else has a mindset like yours.
As with all walks of life there are drivers who do the job and others who don't.
No we don't live in a perfect world, but without some kind of order, we return to the age of the sword, where all decisions are made by might not right. You obviously would prefer anarchy.

I don't have a principled stance when it comes to wheelchairs. What I have is a choice. If sitting on a rank full of taxis, my choice might be to leave the job to you. Whether I exercise that choice or not do not make the vehicles fit for the transportation of wheelchairs. The risks involved to don't change, and the responsibility is still the driver's. As you are the one who will ultimately be held accountable if anything goes wrong. The council won't back you up and neither will your radio company. You are completely on your own. You don't even have insurance if you injure yourself and if the wheelchair user gets hurt, they could end up suing you.

If this was about principles the council would have you operating to the same standards as their own wheelchair accessible vehicles and with the same protections as their employees.

The fact is, the council has passed the responsibility buck on to you, and you are the one to be made accountable if anything goes wrong.


You are confusing anarchy with being treated with dignity. The council thinks people like you are the [edited by admin] on their shoes, and they are right, because you have no choice.

Incidentally, when did I ever “refuse to carry wheelchairs for the taxi trade”? When did your “trade” start taking responsibility for me doing the job? Does your precious “trade” afford me, protections if anything goes wrong? Who backs me up when the sh*t hits the fan, “the trade” are you having a fecking laugh?



You Swannee, are living in a dream world.

Let me sum up your “trade” Swannee, Fifteen hundred morons with a vested interest (illusionary plate value) lead by a dozen Uncle Toms' who pander to the council and only serve their own interests.

The only status a driver has is that of the casual labour, by propping up someone's pretendy little business.


The “TRADE” what a fecking joke and you actually believe this shi*e.

Yes Swannee you could be right.

I may well prefer anarchy.

That would be preferable to a corrupt fascist council protecting its own commercial interest at the expense of mine, like little more than gangsters. That can ignore any question of human rights knowing that their pals in the lrgal profession will not fight to protect those whom they deny them.

It's better than being under the yolk of corrupt cops like Frank Smith who would deny you your rights to put you down, and who makes trivial complaints about licence holders with impunity, knowing full well that corrupt councillors like scumbag Keir will fall into line and do the dirty deed - an intellectual pygmy elevating his status by doing others fown.

It's better than a justiciary that ignores fundamental rights and exercises its discretion to protect those who abuse us, as happened in the 3maxblack case where a despicable stablishment judge trod on every tenet of legal decency, and was graphically shown to have fot it wrong..

I have come to the conclusion that those who control this system will not act responsibly, they will only ever seek to abuse us with it, so that those who tug their forelocks are giving the salutory lesson to continue with their abject servility. That's YOU swannee..

It can't be improved so if the only answer is to sweep it away, then I for one hope that it is.

We don't live in an accountable democracy. We live in a fascist state.

Britain needs modernised. Today's outrageous pomp and splendour reminds us all where we are in the food chain. While all is crashing and burning, while people are losing their jobs, our "betters" are reminding us of our real worth.

A Marie Antoinette moment. If the people can't afford bread, let them eat cake.

Do you have any evidence that this operator is crooked?

Swannee is not interested in something as trivial as evidence. It's about protecting his beloved “trade” whatever the [edited by admin] that is.
