These acts do not ban cartels or make them illegal. Only Cartels proved to be anti-competetion or against the public interest are unlawful. The EU is a cartel. Again Amish Boy you try to distort the truth to fit your own ends.

Err, wrong poster.

Cartels are prima facie illegal, but under certain prescribed circumstances they may be exempted.

Thus you statement above is about as useful as saying that killing someone is legal because in certain limited circumstances there's a defence.

The backlash against Tesco and their market dominance had nothing to do with their failure to get planning approval. The planners refuse because another supermarket in that area would have had a negetive effect on the community. Are you being deliberatly obtuse or are you so blinded by you obsession to get a free plate that you fail to grasp the simplest retort to your ranting.

Had a free plate for years [-(

As regards your first point, you seem to be splitting hairs just for the sake of argument.

Isn't it the case that Tescos market dominance is why it's perceived to have a negative effect on the community.

If not then why would having another supermarket be detrimental to the community?

I doubt of addtional competition would be considered detrimental, so why would they be refused other than because of the possibility of market dominance and the deleterious effects of that?

[I must have really got up your nose. Still it only took you 2 days to look at the date. Bye.

Well you're certainly an April fool if that's what you mean.

And I think I mentioned the date aspect early on Monday morning.

And you started your trolling before April 1st, in case you've forgotten the date already - no wonder you need a cartel to keep your business afloat

Is JD getting a bit close to the bone?

How much did you say your plates were worth? :shock:

The Oil price shocks were caused when the OPEC negotiations failed and the freemarket took over. Oil prices stablelised under OPEC, pre OPEC the world economy was dependant on oil supplies that were in the control of a handful of Arab Kingdoms. OPEC brought consistant supplies of oil at predictable prices allowing unprecedented growth and developement in western countries.

Talk about spinning.

You say OPEC brougth about stability, but then you said it fell apart when the going got tough.

That's the problem with cartels - they're inherently unstable, which the OPEC scenario ably demonstrates, thus this inherent shortcoming somewhat undermines your argument that they bring stability to the market.

Thus the failure of OPEC to stablise the market in oil caused untold damage to the world economy- remeber the huge inflation, stagflation, unemployment etc - they were in large part due to the oil price shocks which OPEC by your own admission couldn't contain.

And any stability that OPEC has brought about has nothing to do with helping the world economy - it's all about maximising oil profits, so I wouldn't bother trying to suggest otherwise.

Without that cartel developement would have been far slower. Show me one economist that supports your claim that oil supplies and prices were "stable before OPEC".

Well how about the Cato Institute, one of the world's foremost thinktanks?

In the period between World War II and the formation of OPEC, the inflation-adjusted price of oil fluctuated little. Oil prices indeed jumped during the Middle East crises of 1956 and 1967, but they fell back quickly. In fact, the inflation-adjusted price of oil -- indexed by GDP -- fell by about two-thirds from 1945 to 1970.

From 1970-1980, however, the real price of oil rose by about 1,300 percent. Between 1980 and 1986, it dropped by about two-thirds. It was fairly steady between 1986-1997, fell farther in 1997-1998, and then nearly quadrupled after February 1999. This is stability?

In 2006 David Lane of the Poole Taxi and Private hire forum said he welcomed the Btec as a positive move for all Poole Taxi drivers. It would appear you disagree with Mr Lane but do you know if he still holds the same opinion in respect of these Btecs as he did last year?

Reply from T.
David Lane was speaking before anyone had seen or taken the B-Tech course. In principle a qualification would be a good thing, but in my opinion and many others that I have spoken to ( many who have done the course) think it an insult and a total waste of time. What should have been an opertunity to improve the status of our trade has been lost. This B-tech is a franchise to make money for the people that run it , it has no other merit. It is no better than the idiot questions posed on premium line telephone competitions, a scam. The trade , the LA and the government has been conned and it was certainly done with a lot of help from within the trade. Ask David Lane I have no intention of speaking for him.

The use of such words as cartels is intended to blow out of proportion the arguments raised by those who wish only to satisfy their own greed.

The councillor who decided to maintain quotas. :sad:

Most councils usually have a committee to decide these things, Poole has one single councillor. [-X

It's bad enough the buffoons saying councils know best, but councillor? [-(

Yes I do remember a Councillor Ron Parker who was Chair of the committee that was the Licensing Panel that reported to full council.
He alone could not have decided the issue, you know that so why do you try to mislead readers. Is it to validate your feeble argument.
POOLE IS NOT CAPPED.
POOLE IS NOT CAPPED.
POOLE IS NOT CAPPED.
Get it Poole is not capped.
