What can councils do? they are being fingered by the fifth colunmists, they are being told that if you dont deregulate, then this that and the other will happen, so they jump the gun, meanwhile its the poor folks who have invested in the business ( but you couldn't give a feck about them ) who will suffer.

Don't those people in the 245 unrestricted authorities invest?

no they are called "wanna plates". The people who invested were the people who paid the money and got theier plates, but then the "wannaplates" came along, and the rest as they say is history....

So you would have the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker running the trade rather than taxi drivers. :shock:

All plates were granted to wannaplates, weren't they?

I can't think of how an LA could issue a plate to dontwannaplate, surely?

So if a change in policy can cause such a catastrophe, then why would anyone 'invest' in a plate?

Don't you mean 'take a risk'?

And isn't it people like you characterising this risk wrongly as 'investing in a business' that are the ones who are fooling people into risking tens of thousands?
