If you intend to vote today, remember this
These people protected a billion dollar company, which doesn't pay its full taxes or VAT, and given them your livelihood. They leaned on TfL and Boris Johnson to go easy on Uber.
David Cameron, George Osbourne, Sajid Javid and Theresa May
All turned over the London licence Taxi trade.
All Tories....just remember this when you go to the poles later today....
Uber pulling the wool over the eyes of the media!
Well here we go again, Uber the company that professes it's easier to seek forgiveness than it is to seek permission, has been telling TfLTPH that it has tightened up its in house every day operations, making it safer for its passenger users and drivers. But again, as we've seen many times before, this company just can't play with its cards on the table.
Virtual everything it says and does, is designed solely to exploit and deceive the regulating agency and the National press with its the normal rhetorical drivel.
Latest statement from the rape app shouts out loud, "We are safe as now the driver only works 10 Hrs".
But what they're not saying,...when they consider their drivers are actually working !!!
Taking into consideration the screen shot from their own website, Uber are saying their drivers are not actually working in the true sense of the word, until the driver has accepted the job - has the passenger on board - clears the job.
It would appear that the driver could be driving round town with hours I between job acceptances but still concise red as not actually working !!!
This is a multi billion dolla corporate pulling the wool over the eyes of the regulators and the press.
This must be pointed out out ever licensing appeal hearing !

Uber's work model is illegal - they've admitted this in court three times.

Yet TfL didn't care that Uber were illegal - they licensed them anyway.
