No reports or statements have been forthcoming from LTPH. The only news report of the case was an email we received from Diamond cars and a couple of lines on the LCDC Blog.
We all remember the license fiasco a couple of years ago when the LTDA undercover team produced a DVD that bought about the revocation of 4 major clubs operator licenses. There was a blaze of glory posted all over the net and in the Taxi Trade magazines.
But within days, the clubs minicab services were back up and running again. Since then not one word has been published in the Taxi or other trade media, about the operation or the appeal that followed. We must assume then, after all this time, the cases were lost by the LTDA/LTPH.
An Offer to John Mason Director of LTPH:
So, I offer the Director of LTPH John Mason, the chance to explain what went wrong with this important case (Abacus) by posting the full story on this blog. We will allow the post to be completely unedited and their will be no "narrow-minded" editorial comment.
We will then throw open the comment box, to the ordinary taxi drivers for discussion. Only insults and profanity will be moderated.
The ball is in your court John Mason.

The Anderson Shelter peddling openness, fairness and "no narrow minded comments." This statement on its own is an admission of a blog not worthy of such and exclusive.
ReplyDeleteThe Anderson Shelter most definitely doesn't offer freedom of response on a daily basis; responds to comments that they refuse to post and is obsessed with identifying individual posters. In fact the blog administrators, hide behind silly names because they are frightened of their own shadows. Or more sinister, they are afraid of being exposed as the frauds that they truly are !
The standard of the Anderson for "The Truth" has deteriorated to its former glory of arrogance, and dire neglect at informing cab drivers of the whole truth !
On a daily basis this blogs administrators act like bitchy school girls.
If John Mason should offer a response, it should be via the established trade press and not this blog.
Oops Flav, too late.
DeleteOne has to ask if this case was so important why did John Mason not attend court?
ReplyDeleteThe big blue schoolgirl knickers go up in a wad and the Anderson Shelter issues another pathetic response.
ReplyDeleteYour latest claim to an exclusive response is misleading and clearly states "Press Release, from Helen Chapman!" This is a press release and the Anderson Shelter does not have "Press" status!
Oops up side your head, wide boy !
Flav,
DeleteI don't have to defend myself against your malicious attacks but this time I will.
Dhillon Sandeep, TfL's press officer was asked by senior staff at LTPH to contact the Anderson Shelter and give us a statement.
Sorry if you didn't get one but feel free to cut and paste.

ReplyDeleteYou stupid or something
Of course TtT can refere to himself and the Anderson Shelter as press
Thomas has had many articles published in most trade papers and the AS has a regular page in the UC News.
I'm sure the TtT is part of the production team if the United Cabbys News as well.
Sounds like you don't know what you're talking about
mad mark thomas is on the prowl again digging out the hard working guys....give up mate you've had your day.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a bit of old fashioned defamation. What's next Jim ?
