Taxi Driver Online

but if the owner offered a crap deal, they would have the freedom to go elsewhere

its funny observing the holy trinity in action, fact is they should be 100% behind immigration as its a form of competition, lets just say that this carry on is deregulation and you should be supporting it.

true, but how would you do a crb check on them? if they have only just got in?

So you complain about your local trade being anarchy and about how poor drivers' earnings are, yet you want to make that worse by encouraging cheap labour to enter the country?

On the other hand, you have also complained that you can't get drivers for your own vehicles.

It's all beginning to make sense now.

Are you suggesting that dunross/taxifast are operating illegally?

In so far as I am aware they are operating 100% legal.

I dont actually believe I have expressed an opinion either way.

What on earth are you on about Captain? When did I suggest or even allude to any illegality?

My point was that you seem to be of the opinion that an open door policy on immigration is a good thing while at the same time complaining about an oversupply in your local trade?

These two stances seem contradictory, so which have I summarised incorrectly, or how do you reconcile the two?

I think the answer should be on the above link.

I understand the country supplying the labour will provide evidence of the 'foreign' drivers character and criminal history to satisfy the criteria laid down by the CRB and British Government and of course the LA.

What evidence do you have to support your understanding that the country supplying the labour also supplies CRB checks?

I would be delighted to advise but you'd have to email me for a response.

I think the point is, in answer to your question, is that if a person is able to pass and satisfy local conditions of license, and is in this country 100% legal. Then nobody can really question that fact.

To use a differing train of thought, what is the difference between somebody coming from another area of the UK to drive a cab in your district and a person coming from another part of the European Union? Surely both must pass the same laid down criteria?

I tend to believe a lot of our Asian drivers in this country were actually born here and they are as British as myself. Indeed, if they come originally from a country such as Pakistan I don’t have a problem with that either, because they were part of the Empire, Eastern Europe wasn’t.

So as long as something is within the law then it's unquestionable? Somehow I don't think that's how the real world works.
