Also, causing gridlock and disrupting the commute is not the best way to make friends and influence people. Unless you have a really clear moral outrage, people will get pretty upset at you as well as those you have a problem with. (If it were otherwise the transit unions would have a much easier time of things.)
"illegal to install taximeters" isn't going to resonate with the public, I think. It's hardly the abuse and exploitation by an monstrous and inhuman Management that kick-started unionization in the first place, anyway.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoWhat would probably resonate is the 'no tax paid in the UK' argument - that's something that everyone can understand as a negative.
- alandarev 13y agoOh god, you have reminded me of a 'No tax paid' by Google/Amazon/Starbucks scandal last year. [1] Yes, definitely, the Tax card is enormously effective in UK. I wish the legacy businesses would rather change themselves, seeing how ineffective they are, instead of spending resources on fighting innovation.

- rmc 13y ago"This taxi driver could be a criminal and/or scam you in the fare" might resonate with people. It might also tap into latent racism about immigrants driving around with the same level of licencing.
