Sorry Andy7 but I don't think thats the case, we are free to have our say within the forums however the administration recently stated that the forums were just a part of the site with their "main objective" being the homepage and subsequent "news" stories.
Within this part of the site we have no say, and as the admin consider the importance of "non forum" site activity to be greater than the "on forum" activity.

It is therefore safe to assume that the "policy" of this site is pro-derestriction, after all it was stated by a member of the admin that this was the case.

Again, I'm not saying that it shouldn't be or that it should, all I'm saying is that anyone doubting the objective of this site is nieve in the extreme.

Have you ever submitted a paper for the Forum thats been refused ?

Why are the authors of "mist and delusionality" so coy about their identity, when it is such a well thought out piece of journalism. The halcrow SUD report (on Lincoln)was written by a Dr. Stephen Pells, a professor and everything, he's got letters after his name you know, a real professor, and he didn't use half as many big words in his report. Don't be so shy, it's a brilliant work, in fact it could be a bestseller.... in the fiction section. Still Laughing by the way... Any economists out there who can tell me how the heck it can be that in a town where the number of taxi's double and the number of drivers double and the local largest factory closes, that earnings remain static how can a local economy sustain a 400% increase in taxi availability with a loss of 2000 jobs in a local factory? The cake is only so big, it's the slices that get smaller


By the way, I've never heard of a professor titling himself Dr, I think that's wrong as well Jimbo.




this one dusty this one


I won't bother asking again :?

Captain this site is biased, that is not a bad thing, its what the owners and administration of the site want and that is their right.

They do allow members an opportunity to voice their opinions within the forums, but they never admit that "myth and reality" is a bias document, because of that they would publish any document offered but make every effort to point out that their opinions are unbias and the "new document" was bias in favour of the authors opinion.

There is a bigger picture, and its not a pretty one.

B. Lucky :twisted:


It's quite simple Angel, TDO has opinions, on here and on the frontpage, everyone is free to express their's on the forum.

Whenever was it claimed that TDO didn't have an opinion?

You make the site sound Orwellian.

If you think that anyone needs this pointing out to them then I think it's you that's a bit naive Angel.

The point of what?

MY point is that the site's position on the issues should be fairly clear to anyone reading the articles etc.

I'm not quite sure what GA's point is, he seems to think that there's some kind of cover up or conspiracy theory or whatever.

As I said, it's a bit like GA visiting the Tory party website and then trying to claim that the Tories are trying to cover up the fact that the site is promoting the Tory party's position.

In other words his posts on this subject are completely irrational and are just a waste of time.

Does that clear things up mr gabbycabbie, or does stating the obvious require any further explanation?

I think the lack of an answer from the Angel, as of yet, says it all.

So visiting the Tories website and discovering tory issues is the same as visiting www.taxi-driver.co.uk and seeing issues which are to the detriment of taxi drivers.

This site is pro-derestriction, and as much as I don't have a problem with that in any way shape or form I just wish someone involved would have the balls to actually tell the truth about the intentions of the site.

This site is in place to front an attempt by a "specialist" taxi solicitor to convince every council that he can give them advice, at a cost, that will increase their revenue and get them out of trouble with the DfT, even though they aren't in any trouble in the first place.

This is at best the product of a vivid imagination, at worst bare-faced lies.

The site has nothing to do with solicitors or any other professionals (except taxi and PH drivers :D ), and has never been used to try to raise any revenue (such as from advertising) or to sell any services of any kind.

Perhaps you could provide details of the local authorities and officers involved if you think your claim has any substance, since assuming you haven't made it up then you must be in possession of some evidence to substantiate your claim, or someone else has been spreading malicious gossip, in which case you are extremely gullible.

But either way, your claims are defamatory, so could you please provide evidence to substantiate your statement, either from yourself or from whatever third party was the source of the claims.

Sorry to disagree yorkie but the way the most of the country see that we have a conservative government in already, its new name is new labour.

the principles of the labour movenment were sold on many years ago, its all about profit, its no longer service.

we dont build things, we build call centres, even then we usually use a labour market from abroad that is cheaper.

american express......i'd rather walk

(yes, style council quoted again)

I believe that the claims made within this website are defamatory, some of the claims made within M&R are equally questionable.

I'll tell you what to do TDO, provide me with the name and addresses of the authors of M&R as well as the names and addresses of the owners of this site and I will gladly divulge the massive amounts of evidence I have to substanciate the claims I have made.

If its good for the goose TDO then its good for the gander.

OK, so you've provided no evidence, you've clearly tried to evade the issue and you've made another unsubstantiated allegation.

So I think it's fair to assume that you're a liar.
