What happened to "The Field of Turnips" post? I deleted out everyone's names and addresses.

:lol:


Maybe I took their threat of legal action to seriously :) and they had TDO remove it before I did myself too much damage :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't think free speech is dead Mr Jasper, in fact I think this country has gone so far down the liberal leftie road, we've reached a point of no return, hence the reason the country's fooked beyond repair. :roll:

Russia? China? Yes. Britain? No. But you need limits.

My point was that this site in all probability doesn’t know the in’s and out's of what going on between you, Skull and the two individuals you seem to make reference to in every second post. Therefore why would they (the site administrators) risk becoming involved with, what boils down to, a personal spat between 4 people? It would seem from Skulls recent post that legal action, rightly or wrongly, is now imminent regardless of Skulls tangible assets.

If you start, or resurrect your own site, then you're free to comment until the cows come home, and then the owner of that site could decide what is libellous or not.



TDO, is a good forum but limited when it comes to freedom of speech. The point being, regardless of who is telling the truth the site is silenced to silence the individual making the comments - TDO, is not responsible but the law targets the site administrator and the host server.

I have know problem taking on the scum up here - you live by the sword you die by it - that is just the way it is.

The Scum I deal will attack anyone in an attempt to get to me - I have no fear of them and they know it.

I am constrained by the current legal situation and my friends and what effect my actions might have on them.

In the fullness of time there will be a day of reckoning, that much I can guarantee-but not yet. :-|

My inbox is full of posts from this forum on topics in which I have absolutely no interest. Indeed, one or two of the topics which I have originated have been taken over by this private spat, a takeover to which I object in the strongest terms.

I am not interested and the sooner TDO loses patience with such individuals and consigns them to the low lifes dustbin, the happier I'll be.

Then perhaps we can reclaim our wonderful forum and community for it's intended purpose!!


Oh Shut the feck up you horrible little worm. My bet is this is the only place you have an opinion without the p*ss being knocked right out of you. :roll:

You need to move up here, the Edinburgh Taxi Trade is full of invertebrates like you - you'd be right at home.
:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Oh aye, we imagined it, your leader making threats, just like the attacks on company members?


Here's one for you : ask them about p40's driver and his prostrate problem and the suspension for taking a pi** at the side of the taxi?

While you are at it, remind them about the 60K worth of idle mercs?


Pinky and Perky are taking the [edited by admin] out of you big time son :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


What scumbags .. . . :roll:

To keep a bit of perspective here, let's remember that the alleged "nuts" in Edinburgh are only asking for a free market, enjoyed everywhere else in our economy.

We're only asking for inividuals to have the right to conrol their own affairs.

The problem is that the greedy vested interests are doing everything they can to prevent this.

Government should recognise the injustices here and do something about it. But they don't. They operate in secret to protect those vested interests. This isn't just about injustice to a few cabbies, its about how the government is failing, how it has been corrupted.

That's why the campaign can never end until victory and these councillors are held to account.

Ultimately this will be through a book published on the internet. The whole gamut of the issues wil be explored and names will be named. Among the topics to be covered are Councils, councillors, the trade, companies in the trade, the police, the law, the legal profession, forums, the media - that's just for starters. Everyone's conduct will be examined to demonstrate just exactly how the control mechanism in our nation works.

Whatever happens to the case in a fortnght, there will be a second case to follow, then the second tranche of 5 cases after that. We will learn from the first case on May 6th, that will be applied in the second case. These have been kept separate to crank the whole affair up. Meanwhile, more applications will be made.

The saps on the new ETF seem to think a slam dunk decsion will be made in favour of the council, any appeal will be lost, end of.

That's more of a wish list than anything based on reality or common sense.

This is scheduled to run and run. May 6th is just the starting line in a marathon.

I've asked everyone to write to the council and insist they turn up. The Skull thinks they won't. I think they will. Legal advice suggests they will.

So, we have councillors in the witness box. Then they will be dragged in for the second case, only their answers from the first case will be subject to more considered scrutiny. Any deviation, and they will risk perjury. That's jail time for councillors folks. That's the strategy we now have.

This is deathground in the battle. And the claymores are swinging. And we don't intend to get hurt. Aggression is the order of the day. And the more the trade dislikes that aggression, the more aggressive we will become.

:lol:

Perhaps you are missing the point. As long as there is a restrictive system, there will be people exploiting it.

The bit surprises that me is the utter shock that some taxi bosses are at it.

FFS that's the norm. :shock: :shock: :shock:

What, you mean it's only okay to sell a plate if you were issued one by the council?

It's not the court that issues the plate but the council under direction from the court? It's then up to the plate holder if he wants to sell, Ali T being a case in point.

This is the system you advocate is it not?

What's your problem? Applying for a licence is perfectly legal.

What lies are you talking about big gob? Be specific. You seem to think you know a lot about these lies CC?

Or is it just you running off at the mouth again?

Now that would be a surprise.
