Taxi Driver Online

Can you clarify why you were there Garry? You aren't an owner of any part of the LLP's who were applying, you aren't even a resident of the City of Edinburgh, and certainly don't pay them council tax - so on what basis were you entitled to speak


You were just there to "rip the p*ss" - and you seem surprised to be asked to leave - unprofessional and childish don't begin to describe your actions

"pay someone up to £100,000"



Cranking up the misinformation here aren't you Sussex

Like the Iraq situation - if the facts don't fit - sex them up to suit your agenda

It's not £100k at the moment, but it could be soon enough if the situation remains as it is.

He was there at our request. As is our right.

And what he witnessed was a complete negation of our political system, the abuse of power through failing to take anything on board which didn't suit the councillors or fit with their policy to deny licences and a refusal by councillors to ask any questions of them.

So, what we have is a system which does what it wants and doesn't have to explain itself.

That's why the court beckons again. My only fear is because of the survey the council is currently conducting, in secret I would venture, they will avoiud coming to court for their final reckoning. I hope I am wrong in this.

Yesterdays game was a farce. But it had to be played out.

Regrettably timescales likely now put a court hearing beyond the new year.

There's a lot of water to be flow under our bridge before then.

Look out for the council's announcement following its report of restriction due soon.

Well if you can't see how trying to make fools out of the councillors doesn't harm your fight then you don't deserve to win.

No not really.

I didn't say Edinburgh plates were changing hands at that rate, even if £50,000 is on the way up to £100,000.

My point was a general point re: plates, throughout the UK, and from what our good friend from Oxford says is that plates are changing hands at that rate there.

So bog off.

makes you wonder what the council are delaying for?
these bartewards are unbelievable a democracy my arse, they will go to any lenghs to delay the process,but i think thats all they got, a delay
time will tell again

50k if only id known ,id have sold up.
mind you looks like i may have 8 to 12 months before the next surveys in.

But you lot keep saying that he lost it because he applied for a license that you knew he wouldn't get and now you are taking the pi55 out of the council so he is even more unlikly to get it.

There wasn't a cat in hells chance that the council was going to grant his (or anyone elses ) plate. He knew he was going to have to go to court to get it, before he even applied.

Maybe so but I doubt that he knew that the skull was treating it all as a game for his own amusement and that he was just part of that game.

Grandad,

You're problem seems to be that you give blanket respect, even when it is not deserved. let's be quite clear, these guys are rogues. They're charged with representing the public when all they're really doing is representin themselves.

Colin Keir drives a bus FCS. You think he wants more taxis on the road?

Cllr Cardownie has just put on 50 PHC and he's the deputy leader of the council. You think he wants more taxis?

They are exercising their restriction policy which would be illegal in every other sector of our economy. You think these guys deserve respect?

So, you want me to play the lon sycophantic political game. And who do you think will support this? Play the game their way and you lose. Who wants to lose.
I have a right to a licence under the Act. That is being denied me. The Act allows me to apply and for the matter to be considered fairly. Yet, the decision is predetermined by council policy to restrict. This is fair? You want me to respect councillors who act unfairly?

You simply can't see the oppression even though the jackboot is grinding into your face. Grandad, this is war. It is a war waged until victory is ours. It will never go away. And I'm determined to ruin the political careers of those responsible. I will be pursuing this for a public inquiry. I will be writing this in book form which will be published on the internet at least.

No, I'm not angry. I'm fecking raging.

Jasbar you seem to have got me wrong. I fully support what you are trying to achieve. It is the method by which certain people are going about it that I find difficult to accept.
