I agree. So give me the licence I'm entitled to and let me compete your ass out of the market

You didn't contribute to fedupdundees post about how derestriction has been a disaster on Tayside. You'll say you don't care or go on about quality controls. Thankfully no one listens to you.
So, competition is healthy just as long as it doesn't bite your bum?
Only the taxi trade gets to limit competition.
You couldn't compete on your best day. In fact, that's the reason why you're in the trade in the first place. Because you failed at something else and bought the illusion you could be a big charlie taxi boss, with a licence that the council ensures comes with a bonded cabbniggr; because it doesn't allow the slaves access to their own licence, just to protect you.
Derestriction can be a disaster wherever quality controls are not in place. like Dublin for instance, which we've always known about.
But not in the nation's largest metropolis - London. It works a treat. The cabbies are professional, highly regarded and widely respected, all while charging handsomely for their professional services.
Yet Dundee's mentality and yours, is to descend to the lowest common denominator and hope the customers will come back. Well, with the quality expressed by those on this forum, rather than come back, the customers are more likely to take a bus, a train, bike or even just walk rather than use a taxi.
And who can blame them? All that appears in the press is inter trade bickering, wild claims of criminality and falsely reported stories confusing private hire drivers as cabbies.
perhaps what we need is a new night of the passover where a beneficient grim reaper casts his power over the homes of the tumshies in our trade like you Artur, and disappears them.
Then the rest can really compete to win back the hearts and minds of those taxi customers you've lost in your drive to raise prices and lower standards.
