Shell announced record profits last week while we are crucified at the pumps. Tony Woodley the General Secretary of the UNITE union called for a windfall tax. Not a bad position. Our lot are begining to graft at the argument for subsidised fuel linked to bio fuels to see if the duel perspective of cutting greenhouse gas emmissions and reducing the cost of public transport can be achieved.

Surely windfall taxes could subsidize projects of this nature if the government wanted to run them albeit in a pilot project in the first instance.

Still there is an alternative as independents one of us could go down the local garage and ask if they would sell it to Taxi and Private Hire Drivers cheaper? Send a petition to the Prime Minister?

I suppose you could get Northern Rock to finance it!

As an independent does being daft come naturally or do you have to practice

Sending the petition to that Marxist, Trotskyist, Taxi and Private Hire hating Gordon Brown was the mistake, it should be sent to her majesty the German especially if it gets past forty three signitures

I take it you mean...Where will the GMB get there next idea from !!!
more than likely from me or you.
Because these two couldnt find there arse with both hands, nevermind have a good idea...
Because these two sad boys live there lives Wrecking the trade and this post just shows how much of a blithering fool that head case is.

I will show you how the illiterate philistine works things out though Mr Stig of the dump...
OK GMB here is a situation...
You have 100 drivers in a room OK....
51 Private hire lads that shout for deregulation OK
49 Hack lads that say bollocks that.....
So now the 49 Hacks are thrown to one side like a dirty rag as the majority vote is carried.

Thats the real FACT you muppets...not crap like you post...
ORGAINSATION.......Are you sure ????
More like DESTRUCTION.....
You only hate me because I am right and you are really jeaulous.....

Remember GMB you only attract wooden heads that can not think for themselves.

Taxis, that post is 100% hitting the nail on the head

you know your going to get crap put back at you by these muppets, but that only shows
their lack of knowledge.

they have to have digs with personal insults because thats all they have left.
if they knew what they were on about they would retort with facts and
try and show that they know more than you.

but thats not going to happen so maybe its time to vote to have these muppets
muted or vetted before they post their nonsensical crap on here.

Independent your analysis on the PH versus Hack scenario truly demonstrates your lack of experience, not all issues are black versus white, Unions represent. negotiation, demarcation, debate, agreement. Why would 2 groups of workers not be able to agree demarcation?
Divide and rule is the oppressors tactic, Unite and Fight ours!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hows the petition going have you worked out a way of removing this embarrasment yet? would be one of your brighter ideas if could!



UNITE AND FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does this mean that we have to work out an answer to this factual hypothetical proposition that the fonts of knowledge have worked out.

There were these two Geordies ones whose name reminded you of a pussy and the other who talked like one

Hello felix.i am so pleased that you have recovered from your last mauling at the hands of these gmb chaps,i must say that you seem to be a glutton for punishment and would caution you against antagonising them further as you have only 2 lives left, paws for thought,or your fur may fly again,after all as a tom you have no chance against these pedigree chappies.........

If the GMB put a course on for the sophisticats to help them understand that something hypothetical is the opposite of a given fact would that be a course for people who have English as a second or other language or straightforward basic skills training in literacy and numeracy. Sorry 49 and 51 is a hundred they don't need numeracy.

On a serious note in relation to the hypothetical poser surely the testing could reduce the numbers or is only one part of the industry or both parts going to have driving tests over and above, will it be the same level of testing etc.

They must have worked that all out because no-one would be daft enough to send a petition to the Prime Minister without having worked that out.

Anyway there were these two Geordies one who had a name that sounded like a pussy and the other one who talked like one ------like

By the way Taxi's that garage owner is still waiting for you to finish the sentence.

Hmmm I see what you mean...You must of dealt with these fools before ?
Also Mr F and Mr SLC...you are about to find out what Independence really means....
Lets see what this little voice that you shine your dim light upon is really capable of !!!!
But then again hold on....You will only steal my thunder !!! SO I will let you find out in due course..
I can reveal my plans but I have told you I will need payment for education I will supply that you 2 greatly need.
So come on then MR F what happens to the minority group of members that are in your union that has relevant points that they want to be heard by councils or local government ?
LOL...I will answer that for you MR F....Nothing happens because if the majority vote is carried forward the minority will be left "biting the bit" in fury ....And Why MR F...Because the majority is all that matters in the GMB....
Every driver has the right to voice there opinion and be taken serious !  But if they do not think as mad as you 2 ( and not many do ) they might waste there money joining....Am I right MR F ?
Please correct me if I am wrong...But I think you have a duty to your members to explain how your union really works and please do not hide relevant facts that mean the world to drivers welfare.

You go and take your petition to that nice Mr Brown and make things all better for the Taxi drivers - but don't tell anyone in case they steal your clever ideas

Have you taken your medicine today?

Can we talk to the person who looks after you?

quite honestly this debate has reached its conclusion, obviously Taxi and the GMB on here will never reach agreement on the time of day let along anything else!

Therefore Taxis carry on your campaign in ISOLATION another term for independent?????????

A carefull reading of all our GMB posts will of course answer your latest tyriade!
You passionately care about the industry or your the best wind up merchant i have come across for some time. I dont think us ALL throwing insults at each other is very productive. So au-revoir!
