@arsenemustgo@Anthony23Bryant@tx2icon@stormcab Yep, all part of their business plan. Push the cost of assets ownership onto the Drivers. I'm not saying Bullit won't succeed, I'm just doubtful those numbers are realistic
@Anthony23Bryant@tx2icon@stormcab Has anyone done the maths here.... £50k x 25k drivers is a cool £1.25bn not a chance. Not happening. Those numbers are way off. Uber simply has not got that kind of money available.
@lam_ian They got caught up in a legal battle with LTI they could not afford, put the brakes on going into production, they eventually won the case but the boat had sailed and they missed the opportunity.
@cr15b @stefanroberts@marcusjdl It represents the folly of living in a bubble, surrounding yourself with people just like you. It shows when those things happen you indulge yourself and fall unopposed in love with your own ideas. This is why it is so important to have effective opposition in politics.
@dotmit@MayorofLondon@TfL One other observation, Khan is Macho. Guy behind him on the scooter needs a coat, but Khan is tough, he only needs a shirt to cycle in January
@psheeran2 @HarryVeitch1@TfLTPH@TfL@UnitedCabbies Yes this is why the police officer stated I watched you sit stationary when the lights went through a full sequence. Whatch the video again.
@psheeran2 @HarryVeitch1@TfLTPH@TfL@UnitedCabbies No he accepted a walk up fare. If he was waiting for a pre book or on a break he would refuse the fare. That's what's going to be difficult to disprove. And test purchasing is a well known and legal action for authorities to engage in.
@psheeran2 @HarryVeitch1@TfLTPH@TfL@UnitedCabbies Having a light does not prove you are plying for hire. The law only states if you are plying for hire after the hours of darkness you are required to illuminate your hire light. Our electronic meters automatically illuminate the hire light. That Doesn't change law.
@psheeran2 @HarryVeitch1@TfLTPH@TfL@UnitedCabbies What he did do was agree to accept a fare. That puts him in a sticky situation. More difficult to argue that one away.
@psheeran2 @HarryVeitch1@TfLTPH@TfL@UnitedCabbies In Luton even POB the light is on. These are national laws, straight away there are inconsistencies. So that police proving you were P4H just because your light is illuminated would be very difficult.
@psheeran2 @HarryVeitch1@TfLTPH@TfL@UnitedCabbies Having a light on or off is not a definition of plying for hire. The light was introduced to shiw customers that you were plying for hire after the hours of darkness. If you are playing for hire after dark you must illuminate the sign.
@iancollinsuk China are becoming besties with Afghanistan ATM, they only need one of each of these military items to reverse engineer it and know the west's capabilities. Surely you'd blow this stuff to bits rather than leave it behind?
