@point_cab may come back to allow taxi drivers and the general public, lobby their MP regarding Cross Border Hiring. There is a lot of work to be done, including a rebuild of the website and ensuring the correct information is being sent to MP’s.

Five years ago FORBES ran this article that should of had alarm bells ringing.
But this always gets swept under @TfLTPH 's carpet!!!

I'd appreciate your positive thoughts and good vibes to help me carry it through with positive results for the taxi family.
Who are London cabbies if we can't support our international colleagues when they have need of us?
Much love and respect to you all
You might wonder why as an UK based organisation,should the UCG be involved in it?
Goodwill & intentions go a long way where friendships have been built up over the years. I don't intend to let our friends down
I'm doing it off my own back but with the blessing of the committee
To help the taxi drivers create a definition in law of the differences between Taxi & PH
If it's in statute form and a point if legal reference,it's easier to challenge illegal behaviours by PH entities driven by multinationals
More power to the arm of drivers in all EU states
Uber and their ilk have ravaged some taxi services in Europe.
This comes off the back of the revelations of lobbying and inappropriate polítical wranglings under the #uberfiles phenomenon
The European Commission were party to it and seem eager to make amends
It's a chance...
We've been working on this for the last two months, Thursday will be the start of hopefully creating legislation that helps our taxi brethren and sisters in Europe
They like what we have in London, and would like to replicate in many ways, if only to help them in their fights
I, along with representatives from Spain, Italy, Germany and Slovenia will meet with EU Commission department representatives to discuss a framework of putting into their law a defined 2 tier system, vis-à-vis Taxi and PH
Believe it or not, the UK model is a good one
Tomorrow, I set out for Brussels, for a meeting to help our taxi brethren in the EU, and beyond.
September 8th will play out as an international Taxi day, with demonstrations in Brussels and other European countries as well as Mexico, Argentina and Chile to name a few
🚨 Our application was filed at the Supreme Court Registry on Thursday 18 August 2022. This concerns a challenge in the interests of the Hackney Carriage Trade in London whether or not vehicles working from a ride hailing app are plying for hire 🚨

INVESTOR ALERT: Law Office Announces Investigation of Uber Technologies, Inc. on Behalf of Investors.
The fact is, Uber never operated lawfully since day one.
Why 15,000 cab drivers aren’t outside @TfL HQ demanding answers I’ll never know!

I’m in a privileged position,I know more than some,less than others.I know exactly what UTAG have achieved by getting p4h to the appeal court against all the odds.The quality of our legal team. Without support
from cabbies and stakeholders,it would be game,set,match to PH
They called us luddites, while flooding the streets of London with mini cabs. I’ve only had a comprehensive school education, but these divvy f*****s didn’t foresee that due to the subsided rides they were competition to their buses .Now they are cutting back bus routes.
There were also over 10,000 emails sent to MP’s, by constituents across the United Kingdom, calling on a demand for a Public Inquiry into how and why @TfL issued @UberUK (@Uber) with a license.
This meeting with Prime Minister Theresa May happened in January 2018. On top of this @AndrewMarr9 was briefed on the concerns. The London Taxi trade were calling for a Public Inquiry into how and why @Uber were licensed by @TfL. @BBCNews@BBCPanorama@BBCBreaking@BBCLondonNews
