Why Don't Our MPs Support Our Licensed Taxis, With The Same Vigour Australian MPs Support Theirs.

After watching the video below of a speech made by Australian MP Anthony Byrne, I am at a complete loss to understand why we haven't seen a line of MP's from London and other major cities around the country, queuing up to make similar speeches in protection of our Taxi and Private Hire industries. 

Why are government licensing agencies, bending over backwards to protect a company that doesn't want to play by the rules of any legislated regulations. 

In London it gets much worst:
We have had the Managing Director of Surface Transport for TfL, lie to a GLA transport committee over the availability of on/off insurance. 


Plus the same TfL Managing Director, also lied to the transport committee, about the availability of a landline phone number, for the use of pre booking journeys, as required under licence application regulations.


Isn't it time this clown was removed from office on the grounds he has put public safety at high risk ?


Uber have always stated "WE DONT HAVE A CONTACT NUMBER" just an email address . They also constantly state, they don't take pre bookings.


Trouble is this man is not just a one off, he is one of three top TfL officers on the top order of pay grade, who have consistently bent over backwards to lie and support Uber, against ant criticism.

Even our Mayor's office of Boris Johnson, have repeatedly  failed to honour promises to protect public safety and have failed the London Taxi and Privae Hire industries big time. 

The video below is really "a must watch". 
The Taxi drivers in his constituency must be really proud to have him.

Just look around you, see what they've already done to the entire nation, without consent or support from the Indigenous people. Is it any surprise they don't support hard working, hard pressed tax paying Citizens? They merely suck the life blood from them, once drained, they throw them on the heap. Then they import more slaves to suck on.

If they can be that treacherous against their own People, nation, then expect nothing from them, we must take what we want, it's the only thing they respect, as that is the nature of the political beast, to take. Yes, and they certainly take the piss out of the people of this nation, including Taxi drivers.
