Jesus Christ get your head bitten off for stating a few facts.

Have to say my ghast is completely flabbered that Hopper knew about Thomas Paine after all The Rights of Man and  the Age of Reason was written two hundred and thirteen and two hundred and thirty plus years ago.

Still as you are aux faix with the great man who contributed more to humanity than all of the butcher Generals and Admirals wrapped in their union Jack aprons did in the name of their Kings and Queens how about a suggested course of action

Stop using our rejection of a Feudal out of date monarchy as an excuse for not doing what needs to be done.

How about using a bit of reason to promote the rights of man. In our case the right to go to work on a Friday or Saturday night without fear of getting your f*cking heads kicked in by pissed up, powdered up scum.

Join the union, get active build the campaign for government funding for licensing authorities to pay for cctv’s, panic buttons, training and whatever other implements and methods are needed to make our jobs safer.

Or perhaps things like this are better left unsaid

Oh dear Freddy, they might have to google that one  LMFAO

I can see that you would be flabbergasted by that as another of your so called opinions is probably that I am a brainless skin head moron!

Once again your opinion wrong!

Tony, I used to be a skin head by choice.......now I have no choice 

Let's have this right Hopper I do not think you are a brainless moron but what brains you have would appear to be used to deliberately avoid the issues.

Don't think that setting a false precedent won't be noticed either trying to imply that I am only forwarding opinions when facts are there for all to see

Was your kin hero Horatio physically challenged or not it, was a fact and no-one holds that against him. Alright as far as the mans sexuality goes it is neither here nor there and anyway we only have Lady Hamilton's word for it but her husband allegedly enjoyed the ménage trios as well. The kiss me Hardy thing was a bit of a giveaway and the nickname "Horn blower," it doesn't take a genius does it. Did the battle of Trafalgar determine naval dominance or not, allowing the British ruling class to plunder the colonies at will. When the natives got restless, well, what’s a man meant to do with his gatling gun.

Having said all that we come back to the question of plates and restrictions. On the one hand it would appear that you don't want deregulation because as drivers we would suffer not to mention the travelling public with every Tom, Dick or Horatio able to enter the trade. Not to mention the problems for the gangster scum in the industry who are selling plates for tens of thousands. If every fcker was allowed into the trade they wouldn't be worth two bob. The plates reduced to the value of the gangsters.

If on the other hand there is over restriction two bob arseholes will be making a fortune while others will be forced to scrape a living often operating illegally and once again the travelling public will suffer.

It seems to me a proper debate is needed on this issue and I think you can rest assured that the GMB will be addressing this issue. However with halfwits who won't join up never mind get active it is difficult for us to address everything at once.

The position our Secretary has adopted given the current circumstances is spot on but we need to develop the ideas.

So stop hiding behind pseudonyms, stop ducking the issues, stop bottling, join up and get stuck in.

A pseudonym (Greek: ψευδώνυμον, pseudónymos – literally "given a name by error, lie name" from Greek: τὸ ψεύδος, pseúdos – the lie and Greek: ὄνομα, ónoma – the name); pseudo + -onym: false name) is an artificial, fictitious name, also known as an alias, used by an individual as an alternative to a person's legal name.

In the trade I am known as hopper, and when my mates greet me they "say hello hopper"!!!

Do your mates when they greet you say "hello south london cab"
