Personally I think the chance of someone getting redress from a mush that sold him a plate is very slim.

But the person might have a case against a council if they gave him some false info about the security of a plate premium.

Really?

Thing is there are now two versions.

There is my version, and a version by a homophobe, a racist and a bigot, who has acknowledged this himself.

I'm happy to let others decide for themselves. Are you?

I know - I was alluding to someone else

Generally speaking I think it would be, but if the seller made some kind of misrepresentation then there might be grounds for redress.

I'm not sure about ownership of the plate - OK, the piece of plastic and the paper license belongs to the LA, but I don't think there's really a problem with selling the right to operate the taxi, which is essentially what's being traded here.

It's basically an intangible asset like a patent, franchise, brand, fishing quota or whatever.

Or in the taxi context a telephone number.

The majority of Jockies just want the choice to own or drive without facing diminishing employment prospects, hiked rentals, or ridiculous plate “values”.

I don’t think anyone wants to pay 50K to secure their employment status but they have no other choice.

And yes, I have sold a plate and have no problem with others doing the same if the system permits it, which it does, but that doesn’t make it any less of a con for all concerned.

Challenging the council in court to get a plate and then to sell it on is all part of the system. If the council is abiding by the law the courts won’t grant plates because councils refuse to do so.

You can’t have your cake and eat it as they say….

You see I have had a plate which I sold ................. for the same amount as I bought it for.

You cannot blame anyone for thinking about or questioning your motivation for getting another plate Skull ................... particularly when you had the opportunity to secure your employment ............... but chose to sell that chance.

If Edinburgh deregulated numbers tomorrow ....................... would you seek the person who bought your employment security and offer some financial reimbursement.

I have to say no.

It was the so called trade representatives and the council who created the false plate market in the first place. I only played by their rules. But that doesn’t mean to say I didn’t understand the market. If you chose to sell or buy, as have many others, then that’s fine by me. I didn’t make the market nor is it my responsibility if you get your fingers burnt.

Challenging the council in court then selling the plate on and then doing the same all over again is what the market dictates. If the council are in the right they have nothing to worry about.

The council could delimit the market at anytime and that would suit me fine but paying 50K with councillors holding a financial gun to my head doesn’t.

As the old saying goes; you make your bed you lie in it.

The responsibility lies firmly on the shoulders of the trade representatives and the council.

Not the people who expose the scam for what it is.


BTW, it's the system that forces drivers to pay 50k to secure their employment, not me.

"This Squarespace account (skull) is no longer available."

why has you space gone awol?

I don't know yet, I'm waiting for the site host to reply to that very question.

My guess is there’s been a complaint.

We didn’t know if using slavery, the Clan and the American civil war as a parody would be acceptable. Although using satire and mimicry is supposed to be within the law.

We are going to run with the idea though. We’re thinking about publishing a Plantation Gazette News Paper. If we can’t get the sight back up and running on squarespace then we will have to host it somewhere else, perhaps on our own server.

Would you believe it? The blog host said there were a number of complaints about the site content.

Now someone tell me there isn't a lot of worried slave owners out there

Here's the bad news, expect a news Letter and a new site in the coming weeks.


BTW, the unique hits the site got was phenomenal. I wouldn't have believed it. These websites are powerful things. This probably explains why the C.E.C have been trying to shut down the Basa's site.

Some people just don't like the truth
