Have the authorities or police determined if this was indeed a licensed London cab?

In true GMB style, install a one liner, but ignore the facts as they're a bitter pill to swallow.

Any sort of comeback / reply to your proposed lowering of standards will always be welcome.

I've undertaken some enquiries, and it would seem the vehicle may well have been a rental taxi.

The indications are the arrested man is not a Licensed London Taxi driver.

Obviously the arrested person is just that at the moment, any more news on charges I'll update it when I get back next week.

Ah the PH desk driver arrives on the scene.

Your two London based bigots will never change anything in London. During the 6 years of licensing, what have they acheived?

Stopping at the side of the road (which anyone could do using the correct bays) Ooooh! Worth every penny :D

Bus Lanes? Not a chance.

Drivers sheilds, simple enough you would think, No movement.

Royal parks? Simple enough, but you can't even get that one sorted.

Door Signage? No, overturned by another Minicab representative body.

Meters in the pretend taxi's? Nope

I even read other GMB rep's attacking the clown who claims to lead you. Unity is strength? Lol !

Then there's the good old numbers game. 600'000 I hear you cry, yep 600'000 boilermakers, AA patrolmen, school dinner ladys, but how many London Minicab drivers? 100? 200? Out of a potential 35'000. Ever asked yourselves why? :shock:

Perhaps if the two clowns stopped playing at keyboard warriors, issuing threats to everyone, climbing on the back of everyone elses victories, you might make some progress.

I'll give them one acheivement though, I've never heard of two individuals that are so hated from the North of the country to the South.

The whole Union thing is dead, it's 2008, not 1975. it's folks like you and Terry who try to keep the whole time warp slot alive. It's finished, the public don't give a sheeite about what Unions say, just accept it. :D

I passed a shop in Camden High Street, it specialises in 1970's artifacts, you should visit and furnish that cocoon you live in.
Let me know what it's like.

Meanwhile, keep dreaming the dream about your London trade cousins, that's as close as you'll ever get.

Hugs. :wink:

I found a better use for your new smiley Mr T. It can go under the latest offering from the professional drivers union.

Terry says:

Charlie so you want to ban free speech? normally the request of the mentally inadequate, so it suits you!

I make no secret of my support of the Provos military campaign for the liberation of the 6 counties, ifully supported their bombing campaign against Political. Economic, and military targets, including of course the scum in buck palace. I did not support any actiuons against civilians. Non of this is any secret I shared a platform with Mitchell McLoughlin Sinn Feinn president and have written all of this many times. You dont like it i dont give a flying f--k!

Why you wish to defend an organisation that refuses too deny a relationship with the racist **** BNP i await your explanation.

By the way i see reading is evidently difficult for you, so allow me my name is spelt FLANAGAN study it carefully see if you can spot the difference to your version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UP THE REPUBLIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER GIVE THIS MUG AN EVEN BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Now enter your new smiley . . .

So there you have it folks, the leader of the GMB Minicab branch openley supporting the murder of British troops.

This is the organisation who represents you the subscription payer.

Quality, absolute quality, I'm sure those UK members reading that will be very proud.

Well he has managed to organise a meeting next week with the Transport Minister, he has managed to organise a meeting in the House of Commons to launch the GMB PDB saftey campaign.

You can though. :?

McKenzie can as well.

So tell us all MrBB, as a member of the GMB, and follower / puppet of Flanagan, what do you think?

Perhaps, by your silence you also condone and support the murder of UK troops? Is this what your members money pays for each month?

The stage is all your's.
