Deregulation
While a desire to Limit (or re-limit) numbers of taxis was expressed, as was a desire to limit numbers of private hire vehicles, it was agreed amongst those present that the current Dft stance (and HOC)" What is HOC? would never go against total deregulation across the country, irrespective of future legislation changes.
now that does not sound good. i know whaqt my members will say. sounds like they have given up before they started.
thats were Mr Boaler is chair of NTTG, i wounder whether Eddie Gorman is the same Eddie Gorman who work for Bolton Licencing a few years back. George Simms Treasurer. and pat connor committee.
I totally agree with your view.
The problem as I see it is that when presenting such an opposite view to that which politicians, the DfT, the Law Commission and the like might hold, it is useless just stating such an opposite viewpoint without strong reasoning and evidence for your own convictions.
To demonstrate what I mean by that, just look at the TDO document, 'Myth and Reality'; a 70-page publication examining the issue of restricted taxi numbers.
Now I totally disagree with that document, because it does not take into account the basic economical model of 'Supply and Demand', or in the trade's case biased supply and demand, and therefore in my view 'Myth and Reality' is a flawed document.
And that's my view!!
But it is also my view that the author of that document went to great lengths [70 pages of length] to explain in comprehensive detail his [and perhaps others] points of view on the subject of restricted numbers.
And for that I have to begrudgingly admire and indeed congratulate the author, not for the contents of that publication which I have previously said I disagree with, but for his tenacity, determination and devotion in expressing his viewpoint so comprehensively in writing.
When have you ever seen a publication or document so meticulously drafted and lengthy as 'Myth and Reality' with opposing and contrary opinions, reasoning that restricted licence numbers is the preferred option for the trade?
Most common cover of Mein Kampf.
Mein Kampf (English: My Struggle or My Battle) is a book written by **** leader Adolf Hitler. It combines elements of autobiography with an exposition of Hitler's political ideology. Volume 1 of Mein Kampf was published in 1925 and Volume 2 in 1926.[1] The book was edited by the former Hieronymite friar Bernhard Stempfle who later perished during the Night of the Long Knives.[2][3][4]
Hitler began the dictation of the book while imprisoned for what he considered to be "political crimes" after his failed Putsch in Munich in November 1923. Though Hitler received many visitors earlier on, he soon devoted himself entirely to the book. As he continued, Hitler realized that it would have to be a two-volume work, with the first volume scheduled for release in early 1925. The prison governor of Landsberg noted at the time that "he [Hitler] hopes the book will run into many editions, thus enabling him to fulfil his financial obligations and to defray the expenses incurred at the time of his trial.
