We Need To Bring Them All Back To Answer Charges Of Alleged Malfeasanc

In a statement yesterday on Periscope, chair of the London Cab Drivers Club Grant Davis said: "we need to bring all TfL directors back past and present, to answer charges!". 




Paul Coghlan on FaceBook. 
The proof that Uber are illegal is now so unequivocally abundant it is mind numbing. 

Uber BV do not and never have had  an operators license. Uber BV in Holland dispatch every job after it has been accepted by the driver (illegal) as only a licensed operator can accept a booking. They also process the payment therefore avoiding any tax liability in the uk. Uber London ltd have the operators license but take no part in the booking process. ULL are merely the company who are Uber’s public face. 

We've all seen th videos of an army of compliance foot soldiers, trying to cover up UberRape, acting on orders from TfL top brass, removing copies of a trade paper from Taxis, being handed out to inform the public. 
One of the compliance officers suddenly disappeared from their ranks after it was alleged she had major connections with Uber drivers. 

They are responsible for the coverups of rape and gross misconduct by the company here in London. 
Freedom of information has revealed that TFL knew in 2013 that the booking process was non compliant. They actually instigated an IT architectural investigation by Deloitte that proved it to be so. 

TfL we’re about to act but Downing Street intervention quashed any compliance action. 
So for 5 long years TFL have knowingly sat on information that has caused 25k + self employed British men and woman to loose homes families and in the case of suicide their lives, in favour of an American tech company that contributes nothing, I repeat nothing, to our society other than an artificially low priced ride that will be 4x that price when all opposition is eradicated. 

The fight for justice continues as does the battle for survival. If you think it’s not you’re problem just remember this. These parasites will not stop with the Taxi industry. At the current burn rate they realise money will run out before self driving cars are ready en masse. They are looking to diversify into new areas. You could be next. Delete the app and support you’re local businesses.

                 

TAXI LEAKS EXTRA BIT :
As Paul rightly says, Uber are looking to diversify as the money is running out. They already heavily subsidise every job dispatched. Uber have taken on Jump cycles in a bid to raise funds. They have leads devastated many small local businesses with Uber Eats. 
Ever business they are involved in has an affect on people's everyday lives. This below from the other side of the world:
 

A POPULAR Sydney burger chef has severed ties with UberEats and unleashed a scathing online spray against the “fascist” company after his business was hit by a wave of negative reviews from customers unhappy with cold food.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Burgers by Josh founder Josh Arthurs accused UberEats of “exploitation”. “To all our loyal customers who have had a bad experience with UberEats we APOLOGISE,” Mr Arthurs wrote.

“As both a customer and food operational partner of this fascist company I have seen first-hand just how bad [an] experience it is for both parties involved.”

He said the drivers were untrained in food handling and customer service and “any Joe off the street can join”, and the problem was made worse because drivers were “not paid much so they will take one job/food order and often stop in and get another along the way which results in customers getting cold food”.

“Now recently Uber changed its policy on refunds for customers and businesses,” he said. “Customers no longer have a call centre to call and they have to enter a complaint in via the app to be sent off overseas with an expected wait of 24 to 72-hour response time to then see if you are eligible for a refund.

Colombian serial killer murdered 60 Taxi drivers over a five year spree


via taxi-point https://ift.tt/2vjdq3g
A Colombian man dubbed the 'rope monster' murdered 60 motorbike taxi drivers between 2007 and 2012. Luis Gregorio Ramirez Maestre, 38, would request a ride to the more quieter outskirts of town, where he suffocate the drivers until they were unconscious. Maestre would then tie his victims up to a tree by their neck, legs and arms in a system that would eventually cause death from choking. The prolific killer would watch his victims die slowly before taking one of their possessions as a trophy. Maestre has admitted to killing 23 men, but is believed to of murdered 60. Maestre has claimed to of been ordered to murder the taxi drivers by a paramilitary group, but authorities say that they have found no links between Maestre and any organised crime groups. Luis Gregorio Ramirez Maestre was found guilty of six counts of murder after an investigation that was assisted by the FBI and UK investigation agencies. 23 bodies were eventually found. 37 other drivers are still missing and are believed to of also been murdered by Maestre.

Windsor and Maidenhead officer fears a lack of control over Uber drivers


via taxi-point https://ift.tt/2GWmxvR
According to local sources Uber drivers are scrapping their minicab licences in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead to sign up for Transport for London instead.
At a recent Licensing Panel meeting this week their are concerns that the switch being made by drivers could mean having less control over drivers operating in the Royal Borough.
Ride-hailing firm Uber currently has an operating licence in Maidenhead and Windsor, however cross-border hiring regulations means drivers can sign up elsewhere, like with TfL, and work unchecked in the their licensing area.
Greg Nelson, the trading standards lead, said: “I’m not particularly happy with this because the whole purpose of licensing is we have some degree of control on the vehicles operating in our area.
“If Uber drivers are waiting somewhere in the Royal Borough, parked illegally, there is nothing we can do about their physical presence.”
Panel members on the council also recommended that minicab drivers licensed in the area should have to pay for safeguarding training that all drivers must complete.
Cllr Maureen Hunt (Con, Hurley and Walthams) said: “Our taxi drivers are going to have to pay for this safeguarding training but Uber won’t.
“We have to look at the fairness of this.”
