The Reps are self serving fucktards .They want 2 more years on the cars .WHY if you havent got a car fuck off WHY try to save lads who wont invest .Free Licences WHY so part timers and renters can sit and wait .The only sensible suggestion was income subsidies .That should of been the ONLY issue every other industry is getting subsidised .But High Pissing Contests have no rules .

In all the years of being an observer of Roys website, youve come out with the same stuff. You said time and time again, "to get someone elected"
Yet Ive never seen you go up for election,nor have I seen you represent drivers.
Why dont you set up your won Rep group get elected? Might be a bit better than typing from your armchair.
No?

Justin me oul mate I met with nearly all the rep groups to try get somebody on to the council It was agreed at the time our conversations would remain private .When I first said this in the Transport Club The Greens has 1 City Councillor yes 1 People before profit had NONE ..What scares Politicians is when you try to take their Gig .Im sure Justin you made a submission to the taxi review not like you to sit around doing fuck all like a Hurler on the Ditch .The Opportunity was lost .The Greens took their Chance the Leftie Socialists took their chance we didnt .

 Look at Taxi drivers Some are full time some work when their missus is home some mind kids .There is no such thing as a standard taxi driver and they are unrepresentable as they all want different things from the industry .If you want a Uniform Industry then you must be like London Black Cabs STANDARDS .Think it was Frankie this is a Part time Gig not a career .

You work 9to5 in a factory .Work Friday ,Sat night you might make enough to cover your transport costs for the week leaving you with your PAYE wages .You need to cover transport costs anyway .My insurance man has a second gig he delivers curries .

If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Back to the strike... Whoever read the 11:00 bulletin on Radio Eireann said there was only four unions involved and that those four represent "tens of thousands" of drivers between them... Is Free Now a union now or what?

Your deluded  You already have a car so no extra cost to own car .You get cheaper road tax off sets a bit of the extra insurance .The only extra cost is about a grand a year insurance about 500 in service charges and a suitability .A long way from your imaginary 10K extra to drive a taxi .
