Im not against the drivers , theyre just making a living like the rest of us,,,but am against the greedy cnuts taking hold of the country! Anyone interested go to a website called taxileaks,,,, The whole issue of taxis needs to be revisited, from the interest of not just the consumer but also the life of the drivers as well - and if necessarily centrally regulated so that the best deal for both the passenger and the driver are considered.

Thought there is an underlying issue behind it which you were perhaps alluding to in that part of the reason it was cut down was that timber provided people with an income.

Nothing wrong with asking for a level playing field either. I quite agree that its everyone for themselves, but it doesn't have to be that way either. That doesn't mean it cannot change, and that we cannot achieve a reasonable existence where people aren't having to work three jobs just to stand still etc (whilst their boss earns monumental bonuses, deals etc).

I don't have a problem with people having money, I do have a problem where people have single items of jewellery that could solve my local homeless problem, which has been effectively f**ked repeatedly by the local councils cutting back services to the bare bone (inc closing all hostels) to cut costs. I don't have a problem with people having money, I do have a problem with people starving, or working for a pittance in virtual slave labour, or going without education so they can sow fashionable high priced shoes for the 1st world market.

Nothing against uber drivers, my point was that the same men, cameron and boris, and khan now, that are going to put up the congestion charge because of the pollution and health issues, are the ones putting 650 new minicabs on the road every week,,,not because passengers need them, but the£ £250 licence fee to go into the very high salary pot!

They also donate more than Oxfam would raise in 150 years. Oh and pay a bit of tax. Not really sure what sort of system could distribute their money and eliminate poverty other than communism, if you want to eliminate (legitimately) rich people. Perhaps though we could force donations to the UK on top of, or rather than pet causes overseas but that would also upset the same people. Alternatively you could tax them out of the UK completely.
