Why would that be of interest to you? Your war is over the tide is turning, flog your dead horse or you like, your audience is very small and mostly sycophants. Me I going to throw some scraps of food to my many worker drones and then go to my mansion and roll around in new £20's. I love the smell of new notes.
Happy Days ARE here again.

That's about all you will ever get out of life. You could never take the mickey (I will not use your foul language) out of me or ever insult me because that would imply I had some regard for what you said. I don't have the slightest respect for anything you say so as hard as I try I cannot feel anything other than sadness and pity for you. Wallow in your collected police its what you do best.

When have I ever said I wanted to ban PH ?
I just want them put back to their proper place. Everthing has its place, its role to play, take the dung beetle, he is happy because he is doing what he was designed to do. PH's have a role but they are not Taxis and should stop deceiving the public into believing they are.

Thank you for the exaltation, well Grasshopper,
PH vehicles should not use Taximeters.
PH only do truly pre-booked work.
PH should not masquarade as Taxis, remove top lights, roof spot lights, stickers etc all those things used to deceive the public into thinking a PH is a Taxi and is available for hire.
PH jobs should have a contract, name, time, pick-up, destination, price for each and every job.
PH vehicles are doing Taxi work at airports, shops etc etc. Enabling third party operators to cream off large fees from the trade for the pick-up rights. Who pays these middlemen, they rob the trade anually of far more money than what leaves the trade via the sale of plates.
There is plenty wrong with the 2 tier system but a deluge of plates will not benefit anyone, Delimit/Dereg has not and is not working, there is not one area that has gone through this trauma that has found the trade in a better state now than before. Managed sustainable growth has to be better, a steady controlled release of plates with zoning controls where suitable. The PH tree has had a growth spurt that has left it wild and ugly, the Taxi tree has been overprotected leaving it weak and venerable to attack from parasites, prune the ugly growth from the PH and allow the Taxi tree to grow and blossom. Only a fool would cut down the fruit tree to get to the crop.

Why not , it's just a means of calculating the fare for pre-booked passengers

PH should , remove top lights, roof spot lights, stickers etc all those things used to deceive the public into thinking a PH is a Taxi and is available for hire.
Why, they are just used to let the person who has booked the Private HIRE Vehicle know that it is there

PH jobs should have a contract, name, time, pick-up, destination, price for each and every job.
Most of this happens anyway, why are you stressed about it?
