Me point is they are too thick to realise if they organise themselves they could be extremely powerful currently they just get involved in internecine wars amonsgt themselves HACK and PH must agree demarcation then the worlds their oyster in Trots humble opinion :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:


I really don't like the word 'thick' and I'm not that fussed on the word 'stupid' although I am inclined to agree with you. The problem you have is whilst you have the 'I'm alright jack, f*ck you driver' and the need to put bread on the table before anything else it's difficult to motivate drivers to take action. I have often wondered why the devil so many drivers pay somebody so much to answer a phone and pass out work without realising it could be done a whole cheaper if they set it up themselves. Maybe asking for a share of the profits created by these companies never seems to be something they think about either :?

Yes, perhaps it’s true we can’t “live” without a job—although I hope we’re grown-up enough to know the difference between life & the accumulation of a bunch of f*cking gadgets. Still, we must constantly remind ourselves (since our culture won’t do it for us) that this monster called WORK remains the precise & exact target of our rebellious wrath, the one single most oppressive reality we face (& we must learn also to recognize Work when it’s disguised as “leisure”).

I prefer something that offers share bonuses myself as there is nothing worse than a group of taxi/ph drivers all shouting their opinion of how a company should be run
