lol maybe?

However lets consider the following.

This is the brains of the Merseyside Taxi trade.

I said the following,

If my memory serves me well she wanted to change legislation so all private hire drivers had to return to their own area once completing a job. The thing she didn't realise is that the same law would also apply to hackney carriage drivers.

Coupled with that she wanted no one to be able to accept a radio job outside of their own area and that also included hackney carriage drivers. So I wouldn't place too much reliance on any loopholes coming from this quarter.

Mr T, for a reason only known to himself came up with this nonsense.

JD you constantly amaze me..... Joe had nothing whatsoever to do with the Liverpool delegation that went to London..... totally incorrect as usual .... which in turn leads me to beleave that your allegations regarding the pink ladies is simply a figment of your imagination, you need now to provide proof of both the allegations you have made or retract them with an apology seansexton@msbsolicitors.co.uk

Lol lets dissect Mr T's make believe comments.

Can anyone see where I mentioned Liverpool in my comments? Lets have another go, can anyone see where I mentioned London? OK! let’s have another go, can anyone see where I mentioned the Liverpool Delegation? Lol, I guess not, yet the guru from Sefton sees all those things in my comments but which you guys fail to see. I wonder why that is?

Perhaps it’s because he feels he needs to protect Joanne Connolly, or maybe the Merseyside crew that wants to change Taxi legislation to suit themselves? He then talks about my allegations directed at pink ladies being a figment of my imagination but if you look at what I said I didn’t even mention Pink Ladies.

If Mr T is referring to the fact that you and I don’t believe Pink Ladies are operating within the law then he is right. However considering both you and I think that way and Mr T doesn’t then it is obvious that he is in the camp that believes Pink ladies are operating legally. The problem with Mr T is that he can’t tell us how they are operating legally?

He then goes on about proving allegations that I made about Joanne Connolly having contact with Pink Ladies, I find this laughable because I know my sources and I am completely at ease with their pink affiliation. However if Joanne Connolly wishes to come on TDO and put the record straight then she is most welcome.

Perhaps in the meantime Mr T might wish to reflect on his deliberate inconsistencies for a while.

Regards

JD

She won't reply, if she does she'll probably say contact her solicitor. Which would no doubt be a fruitless exercise.

I'm not on her case but I know who is? I offered her an opportunity to tell the world under what legislation she thinks she can operate unlicensed. She has that opportunity right up until she goes to court, after which it will be too late.

If she does let it go to court, which it will if she carries on down the road she's chosen, then she will find herself substantially out of pocket. I take it she's getting some good advice lol. We shall see.

In respect of your wit, I think very few people on here would find that particular brand of "sarcasm", witty? I'm sure you can do better?

Why not have another go.

Regards

JD

Pat Connor (NTTG & GMBU PDB) Taxi owner/driver (Manchester)

What gets me is how the hell can Pat Connor represent both the GMB and the NTTG?

I suppose each area of the GMB has its own policy depending on which side of the fence you sit on, which only highlights the great divide within the GMB between Hackney carriage and Private hire.



JD,

There is no divide in the GMB PDB, only the National Organising Committee of the GMB PDB can speak on behalf of it's membership on National Issues. With respect to Pat Conner, I believe when he was listed as being a part of both the NTTG and GMB the GMB PDB was not a National organisation.

Taxi Licensing

The Licensing department deals with all aspects of taxi licensing law. The department benefits from the extensive licensing experience of Joanna Connolly. Joanna’s involvement in the Liverpool Taxi Trade spans 20 years. She is co-founder and Chair of the National Taxi Trade Group, and Secretary of the Liverpool Taxi Joint Trade Group. She was instrumental in both the national debate and the political lobbying to stop the Government implementing the recommendations contained within the OFT report into the taxi industry in 2004. This report recommended the total de-restriction of Hackney Carriage Proprietors licences nationwide. In response to this, Joanna prepared and presented a report to the Transport Select Committee, “The Myth of Derestriction” which was successful in helping to stop the OFT’s recommendations being implemented.

Working throughout the UK, the department specialises in the complex issues surrounding taxi licensing law, and has a thorough understanding of the particular needs and problems of taxi drivers and operators.

We represent Taxi Associations and individuals, and deal with everything from individual driver issues through to the wider trade related matters in general, at both Local and National level. We specialise in mediation between the trade and Local Authorities. Joanna has substantial experience in unmet demand surveys and limitation of Hackney Proprietors licences.

The taxi licensing department is based in our Wavertree office, and we have a satellite office in Manchester.

Taken from the MSB website a description of their new found licensing department, which was and still is non existent as far as the Taxi trade is concerned.

I haven't come across any council or any individual or organisation in the taxi trade that this outfit has ever represented?

I'm not surprised that MSB forgot to mentioned the fact that she has, or did have, a million pound vested interest in trying to convince the Government to retain quantity controls.

JD

Well some good judges assumed she had in the region of twenty cabs, if she has less then her present interest will be lower. I don't mind adjusting the figure up or down, you tell me how many she has.
