Yes, I agree we're from different worlds Mr T, I have to get out onto the ranks to make a living, you get a helping hand from your cartel with Sefton councillors.
I would hardly call that 'work'.
And you never did answer my question from a few months ago, so pray tell, which best describes you:
From the unions in New York:
Under the current scheme in place in New York City, more than 44,000 workers who drive the city's taxicabs are being blatantly exploited by a cartel of owners who have manipulated the system to deprive the drivers of income and benefits...
From a Dublin journalist:
Drivers who didn't have a licence, so-called "cosies", were forced to pay £250 a week for the right to work. They had to pay that money to the licence owner, before earning a penny for themselves. To own a licence was to be a little baron, with the right to extract money from hard-working cosies and to harass [PH] drivers. Some people owned several licences.
From a Cambridge councillor:
In other cases, the holder of the licence merely 'rented' the right to operate the cab to a succession of other people, sometimes to more than one person at once. There are even instances of people who hold more than one licence who make money not by driving but by 'renting' out their licences.
