Absolute tosh, to join TTF2 you had to send in your full details, then and only then you decided to whether to let them in.

I wonder how many members now regret giving their details to a grass.

I really can't believe that anyone is stupid enough to go to 'whois', see a name on there, and then automatically think that that person is the only one with that name in the world.

The other day you mentioned that TDO is being fronted by this 'specialist brief', so he can gain work out of all these de-limit court cases.

Now let's think about that.

If those that support de-limitation (which a few on here do) get their way, then the gov will out-law taxi quotas. Still with me?

In other words if TDO get his/their way, there will be no court cases over the de-limit issue. Thus your imaginary 'specialist solicitor' will be out of pocket.

Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I think the site has changed recently, whether this is a natural development or something more sinister is a matter of opinion.

If people are contacting local authorities and claiming to represent this site, and therefore me, I am extremely uncomfortable with that, especially as my view is one of justification of policy, as opposed to what the M&R document states.

Really??


I'd say it's more sinster than that Captain this site isn't run by drivers it's run by office pillocks who've never driven a Taxi in their lifes.

That was done ages ago Sussex mate, more than one name came back from that, a considerable amount of other investigation has gone into this which was confirmed by the recent banning of Nidge, whether or not he was re-instated soon after. Peoples actions sometimes tell you more than their words.


So you say IF, thats a big word Sussex, possibly the biggest word in our language.

I would say that IF the government were going to "outlaw" something a court case would have to be undertaken in order to prosecute those suspected of breaking the law, solicitor required with a specialist being more appealing.

If you were caught speeding and the police tried to suggest that you were at one point travelling in excess of 100mph (automatic ban), would you be pleased if a solicitor turned up who normally practiced business law, or would you look for a solicitor who specialised in traffic offenses.

I'll tell you what this person has done Sussex, he has seen how much consultancy work is undertaken by a person with more trade knowledge but less qualifications and guessed how much he could make from that.
Then you add into the equation the "forming a policy which will withstand legal challenge" argument.

You see Sussex this bloke is telling councils that he will assist them in forming policies which will stop the need for court cases, claiming that his costs are lower than if the council had to defend either policy in court.

I can't believe someone with as much sense as you believes a single word of what the Angel and the grass says.

If the government outlaw quotas, then there will be no court case, or at most just one. Remember the English Civil War? The power lies with the government.

If quotas remain, then there could be any amount of court cases. As I said derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Although my free market friends in Europe could settle it once and for all.

Do us a favour, please put up all this evidence you have accumulated, over what I'm not sure, on the site. Then everyone will be able to say what good chaps you and the grass are over this issue, whatever it be.

I wouldn't say that CC believes anything anyone says without checking things out for himself first.

All I'm doing on here is suggesting that people ask questions about what this site is asking from them, and what its actually doing with the information which is posted.

I have evidence of a certain party contacting local authorities claiming to be from, amongst other things, TDO.

I have, as yet no evidence that this person is using the sites name without your or TDO's consent, all I can say is that the person in question has yet to follow up on a couple of things which will provide concrete evidence to his relationship with this site. When that information is recieved the person conducting the "investigation" will email it to you first, until then I'm not willing to pass on any further information.

B. Lucky

So you have no evidence, so why the f*** don't you get the evidence, if it exists, before making yourself look a fool.

To a degree I can understand the Captain being taken in by Nigel, because he doesn't know his history of lies, lies and more lies. But surely you must know that he is a buffoon, and a lying one at that.

I await this evidence with much anticipation.

As Dusty asked two days ago, we shall call this day 3 of the request.

Perhaps we should break with tradition and have a poll as to whether we get it by day 5, by day 55, by day 555 or more likely never.

We shall see.

I will get the evidence sent to you, just send me a name and address so I can get it to you in the first class post next week.

B. Lucky

So no evidence yet then. You made the accusation in public, so you should provide the evidence in public.

Just name one LA (which shouldn't be difficult given the amount of evidence you claime to have), and they will be contacted to verify your statement.

A statement will be placed on the frontapge of the site within the next few days, so I would hurry up with your evidence if I was you.

By the way, a couple of minor points that you still seem unable/unwilling to grasp:

- the site has never said that no one would be banned.
- since you yourself post anonymously, it's a bit rich to call others cowards.

There are certainly more attempts to disrupt and discredit the site Captain, is that what you mean?

As regards the site representing you, I'm not sure where how you come to that conclusion, are you saying that an editorial or column by Mr Casey or Mr Friswell in Taxi Talk represents the views of the mag's readership or those that whose views appear as readers' letters?

If you think that if the Govt legislated to remove restricted numbers LAs would just ignore it, then that just shows your naivety.

I tend to agree, however given the strength of feeling towards deregulation, it isnt that surprising there are disagreements.

Although I didnt specifically state anything.



I would think if you were a member of something, such as this site, the views expressed were a view of the membership. If this is the case then I reaffirm the point I made initially.
