This same (presumably ethnic) group are now playing the race card because the council won't allow their cartel to continue?


when it becomes a free for all and exeter is flooded with taxi's what do you dim wits think will happen?

it leads to higher fares
more congestion
lower earnings, which in turn equals even lower standards


You may even be correct, but how does this equate to racism? Playing the race card isn't going to help their case.

And there you have it in a nutshell!

That is what they are meant to do, rightly or wrongly.

Sadly 'regulatory capture' is generally the norm.
