Personal gain? Is this all that concerns you?
Do you anyone who does anything other than for personal gain? So, why would I be any different?
And if that were really true, do you think I would have clouded my attempt at personal gain with the de-restriction argument which has simply put the council into a more entrenched position as they fight for their, and your, greed and control freakery?
You're mad saf. And angry that my politics will shaft you. And I look forward to that. As I said to Dewar, the prospect of reaching into your pocket, taking out a notional 50 grand checque and tearing it up before your eyes, well I get a kinda kick out of that. My loathing for you and your greedo, selfish kind will be somewhat satiated by such an imaginary action.
As for my statement that Edinburgh doesn't need more taxis? That was yonks ago. Things change. The market's changed. Taxi rentals haven't modified. Difficult trading conditions don't mean lower rentals. Just drivers working longer to pay greedy owners (Not all fortunately). And longer hours means lower public safety.
The council clinging to restriction is tantamount to them negating their responsibilities to ensure public safety.
As well, my position change reflects my desire to do you and your pathetic ilk down. Maintaining that position played into the hands of vested interests. Such interests need to be destroyed. I am all about destroying them, whenever and however long it takes. The longer the happier I will be.
Get used to it. Some already have and are planning to capitalise on your perceived misfortune. If you can't survive in an un-restricted market, then you don't deserve to be in it.
The trade is constructed and controlled like a medieval fiefdom. It can't survive like this. The international capital from companies like Comcab show the way forward. It will prevail. Change and modernisation is upon us. It's drivers and the public who will benefit. And those who invest in real things, like companies and vehicles for instance, will benefit. But those who would invest in the illusion that is a licence plate, well such folly will see them lose big time.
Politicians should be able to see this. But they're so corrupted by the system that they've very quickly become part of the problem rather than the means to solve it.
Now saf, watch you don't crick your back while writhing in pain at all this. Backpain and and the council will take your licence off you. Cos you won't be able to manhandle all those illegal wheelchair passengers into a vehicle that's not designed to handle them with the dignity and safety they deserve.
Your politics won't shaft me you silly little man,what party do you represent is it the monster raving loony party,you remember the one. Nobody listened to him either,and we all know what happened to him.
One thing is for sure Jim and that is survival in the trade,i know and so do the majority of drivers,that you will find it very very difficult to survive.Can you imagine the fireworks down Edinburgh,thats what i hear anyway."it's the drivers and the public that will benefit",now what did i say about you being mad.
