[the truth]

This is the biggest start up in the world worth around 50 odd billion already
in short its an app where people book cars to pick them up

uber cars or cabs do not pay licensing fees to the local councils like all other taxi firms,(the say theyre not a taxi firm theyre a cr share firm with meters ?) they do not license their drivers with their councils like all other taxi firms, they cannot be inspected 24 hours a day 365 days a year, like all other taxis, in fact they cant be inspected at all by taxi licensing officers. they also don't need to pass the local knowledge tests like all other taxis in the uk ...how that makes them as safe as taxis I will never know...even their meters are different and not under the rules of local councils

in short they have their own rules and don't have to pay either

they've been in around 100 countries, kicked out of parts of 15 countries, banned from brazil and parts of india and s Africa...riots in canade, sued for 400 million there...riots in france....now theyre in London for a few years and they have nearly 20,000 cars on the road, expect that to double soon.

London cabbies meanwhile have fallen by over 5% in the last few years and their takings have dropped a lot...boris Johnson has done nothing and the media have ignored the story... uber can afford to charge much less to customers IN THE SHORT TERM to kill off competition ,as theyre funded by goldman sachs and google ventures, etc corporations who pay tiny amounts in tax and therefore have tens maybe 100s of billions to spare. then they can raise p[rices long term when they have the monopoly....BUT uber have a google spin doctor nw promoting them, she was god parent to david camerons late child ivan. you couldn't make this stuff up....now theyre in wales and Scotland too, happy days

100S OF THOUSANDS of cabbies redundant across the globe
the only ones who remain will be be beholdent to uber
