Isn't this the same guy who said terrorism is “part and parcel of living in a big city”[1]? Yeah forgive me for trusting Uber more than him. Violent terrorists killing innocents is all fine, attacks have become a monthly affair in London. But oh my! How dare Uber flout our ridiculous anti-people taxi regulations and charge people a reasonable fare?!
Also, quoting the Mayor doesn't prove anything. He has veto power over TFL, he can tell them to do anything. Your argument is just an appeal to authority, in this case an authority with a huge conflict of interest and a proven track record of not giving a fuck about common citizens.

- pjc50 9y ago> ridiculous anti-people taxi regulations Which regulations specifically are you denouncing as "anti-people"?
- dingo_bat 9y agoThe one on the basis of which the Uber app has been banned recently.
- GrantSolar 9y agoInsufficiently carrying out CRB/DBS checks, and selectively reporting only less-serious crimes are anti-people? Framing Uber as disrupting taxi services for the good of people is incredibly dishonest
- pjc50 9y agoThe app has not been banned. A list of reasons for withdrawing the minicab license from Uber London Limited is included in the article. Which of them specifically do you object to?
- m3rc 9y agoYou didn't read the article did you?
- hectorlorenzo 9y agoAre you suggesting that stopping terrorism is as easy as regulating mini-cab licenses, or that we should stop all legislation efforts until all terrorist attacks cease worldwide?
