You're clearly a pillock GA.

A newly qualified lawyer may not start up his own business, indeed it may be his specific choice not to. But there is no artificial restriction preventing him from doing so.

Christ, it's like dealing with children.

Not being a solicitor or lawyer I have no idea whether a newly qualified lawyer or solicitor is required to work for a firm for a certain length of time before practicing on their own.

Maybe someone could.

The fact remains there is a process, and I would suggest that that process is a restriction in itself.

Its pleasing for me, to be called a pillock, by someone without a thought of his own.

Great coming from the great stupidendo, formerly known as GA.

Now you're writing sh*te about something you now tell us you know nothing about. Forget children. Babies more like.

Whats your reasoning for suggesting the process is a restriction? And under what circumstance does it not become a restriction? I can't identify any restriction apart from the individual competence of each individual. Once you are qualified as a solicitor you can do what you want, so where is the restriction on qualification?

I can see you are hell bent on obtaining a reputation as "the man who types before he thinks".

We were all under the impression it was you who wanted a debate on your tin pot idea of regulating numbers and completely doing away with private hire. I found it curious that you wanted to get rid of private hire and yet you would allow hackney carriages to undertake private hire work. That amounts to a one tier restricted system based on quantity controls, do you realise that? But what if these 200 plus councils who dont control numbers at the moment, such as yours, reject quantity controls, you're still in the same boat as you are today? The only difference being is that you will have twice as many cabs sat on cab ranks. Unless of course your tin pot idea takes away from councils or whoever administers licensing, the free market option?

As far as being a bigot, I tried to get you to answer in simple terms the accusation you made in respect of working conditions and poor pay, you chose not to give an answer and that is your perogotive. However, in future you might wish to think before you type because I doubt I will be the last person asking you to clarify your ambiguous statements.

The Reference you made to the legal fraternity, is meaningless and not worthy of comment?

Do solicitors only need to be CRB checked .................... does passing a CRB check mean that you haven't committed a criminal offence or does it mean that you haven't been caught.

Can a solicitor argue a case in Crown Court or does that person need to be a barrister ................... if that is the case then why can't a solicitor argue a case regardless of court ................ surely they all do the same job.

Unlike Mr Jasbar, who incidentally must know everything about everything, I'm quite happy and willing to learn and the way to learn things, the way to increase knowledge is to ask questions of those that do .................... and it would appear that at least one member has knowledge of the process of becoming a barrister.

My dear allo allo,

At some point you may realise you are not going to win your argument at any stage if it is contrary to the views of JD and others.

This thread has had 7 pages in no time at all, all desperately trying to convince you they are right and you are wrong, even though your right

Well even Mr allo allo admitted that his proposal wasn't well thought out, so both you and him are wrong.

I think what you're trying to say is that businesses tend to want the market rigged in their favour, but the problem is that governments tend to see this as a bad thing. So why should the taxi trade be any different?

As for the shortage of drivers, that means you're saying that new drivers are welcome as long as they're driving an existing taxi?

And I thought you were big on anti-discrimination Junie!

So you're saying that the threat of violence is helping keep the cartel together? Nice!

You almost give the impression that you endorse this Junie, so given your anti-violence stance then perhaps you could clarify your position here?

So why do many drivers manage to make it on their own from day one?

And why does the experience not seem to matter if the driver can shell out for a plate?

The fact is - as always - that if a driver is deemed suitable to drive a taxi then why not own one?

Presumably the answer is merely that it doesn't suit your agenda?

Yes, I think that solicitors have long argued that point, thus this hardly helps your argument - it's in effect a restrictive practice, with vested interests arguing in its favour, so to an extent the same as the cab trade, but that hardly justifies it on rational grounds.

But there is no arbitrary reason why an individual can't decide whether to become a solicitor or barrister - if it was similar to the cab trade anyone could freely practice as a solicitor without restriction whereas there might be a restriction on barristers that would benefit some at the bar, eg a limit on the number of wigs (I don't think it's actually necessary for a barrister to wear a wig, but a lot of people thinks this, however for the purposes of the analogy it's assumed that they're compulsory).

Well, yes, thus to that extent your analogy would mean that you're promoting no numerical restriction to the taxi trade, since there's none to becoming a barrister or solicitor.

Prospective lawyers can choose which side to train for, as with the cab trade.

But lawyers don't face numerical restrictions whatever path they choose.
