So Sandy, you didn't understand my post. Or you didn't read it?

What will it take for you to realise that they are all on the same side.

If you doubt this, then just consider how Blair and Brown have out-toried the tories.

Two of a kind. Two cheeks of the same backside. Two peas in a pod.

The Central government system protectors won't allow Boris to fail overmuch. Just as they didn't interfere when Redders went against the Labour government, and Frankie Dobbers, to get elected in the first place.

It's the system Sandy. Just the system. A kind of Matrix if you like.
Of course I read your post, and understood it, you very clever man. I love to read re-hashed George Galloway comments. Nothing new .


Not so clever Sandy. Else you would have recognised Noam Chomsky's influence.

:wink:
Who? :wink:

As I said, not so clever. Else you would have googled it.

Wikipedia has your answer.

I hope those members who love Boris when the trade suffers from his ideas Such as full advertising on minicab doors, minicab ranks in the West End as in Kingston. with portakabins accepting bookings. LPHA is pushing hard with a lot of clout to be included in bus lanes, if accepted they will in for period say six months Bus Private companies will shout to high heven, what could be the result, taxis and ph kick out of the lanes. Who benefits Private Hire their costs are lower than taxi trade, laughing all the way to the bank.

all PH vehicles should have bus lane access just as Hackneyed cabs do, not just in london but in ever town and city...We do the Exact same job, the only differance is in how we are booked and how we charge, Other than that we are people movers too.

The problem Mr Boggins is that one section of the trade have had it their way for a very long time, so sections of that section get the right hump when the other side asks for equality of access.

Well it's tough sh** to them, cos equal access is the way it's going to be. :wink:

Thanks to a London GMBPDB member for that piece.

You'll have to point me to where the Mayor has said any of the above though, I must have been sleeping when that all came out.

The LHPCA don't have that much clout, and if you read their manifest, you'll find out very quickly that they are against any form of door signage. =D>

Not a hope in hell mate, nice thoughts though. :D

That may well be the case in Tjeucter country my friend, but your London cousins don't have a clue where they are going, they don't speak English, and they drive exotic vehicles such as Fiat Punto's or P reg Vauxhall Astra saloons. Nice.

They'll never come within 10 miles of being a real London Licensed Taxi driver.
