So? My Labour voting friends.

Do you believe that Keir Starmer's statement in response to the serious public disorder struck the right balance?

@taxitradepro Well done Kofi.
Welcome to Londons Finest.

[SEAN PAUL DAY @seanpaulday]

We urge The @cityoflondon to fully support the reintroduction of taxi access to guarantee that the Square Mile remains accessible to all and secures the availability of London's black cabs for those who depend on them for safe and efficient travel.

✔️ https://t.co/jPSyL4FsuZ is about lifting restrictions 24/7/365 to tempt the likes of Paul @PDK1977 to ply for hire in @thecityofldn - on a very wet day I was lucky to find a taxi in the City (but sometimes you get lucky!)

When asked whether Paul does much work in the Square Mile he says restrictions make working there very difficult

The @cityoflondon officers report says the evidence to support lifting restrictions is “anecdotal”‼️

When you next take a cab ask the driver what they think about going into the City… 🤯

❌ The report by @Squarehighways did not include the 200 or so responses from users or drivers. It did not take data from the taxi booking apps ❌

The report is flawed, and is done by officers involved in making the original recommendation to restrict cabs: officers marking their own homework?

A decision will be made at the Court of Common Council on 20 June starting at 1.00pm at Guildhall. It is a public meeting. All welcome.

Please share & retweet 🔂🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

It’s disheartening. the Cab Trade does some wonderful things.

In a few weeks, taxi drivers will be taking 100s of kids to the wildlife Park, the annual trip to Disneyland Paris is in September, PoppyCabs is in November, and the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans continue their invaluable work.

And yet, all these rags can do, is focus on defaming a 350 year old institution.

Like most cabbies, I was appalled by an article published in @MailOnline on Thursday 23rd May, titled "Taxi Drivers Comb the Streets for Victims”

The article in question was slanderous and defamatory.

The article, written by Chris Matthews contained false information and malicious accusations about London taxi drivers. Using images of black cabs further added to the grossly misleading nature of the article.

I understand that mistakes happen, and it is essential to foster an environment where differing opinions can be expressed. That said, it is evident that the author did not conduct thorough research or verify the information presented, resulting in a defamatory portrayal of London’s taxi trade.

Slanderous claims, such as those made in this article, can have serious consequences for the reputation of the industry and the well-being of the individuals involved. A mere retraction is not enough; The Mail should publicly acknowledge the inaccuracies and false statements contained within. This would help mitigate the damage caused and restore the subject's reputation to some extent.

The Mail should also issue a sincere apology for the potential harm the article could have caused. An apology would demonstrate accountability and a commitment to responsible journalism.

Although The Mail took the corrective action and withdrew the offending article, it is important for the trade to consider its litigious options. This cannot happen again, and it highlights how vital it is for the Cab Trade to have a legal fund to tackle disinformation and slander.

On a final note, The Mail chose to direct vulnerable people away from a safe means of transport, effectively, encouraging them to make potentially unsafe decisions- which is wholly unforgivable for a publication that values its female readership. And for that, they should be ashamed.

@Archieb48709437 Correct thats because of DEFINITIONS!

A HC in London is defined differently to the rest of the UK 👇

Now the Pedicab Bill has been passed to license them in London a CoF will be drafted tailored to suit them

Perhaps another class of London HC? 🤷‍♂️
