ah, thanks for your informed reply. The brief report I'd read said
"protest at plans to improve safety and reduce harmful emissions by Transport for London who are proposing to restrict any vehicles other than buses and bicycles from nearby Tooley Street."
but as you point out there's clearly more to it than that. I'm not anti black cab at all but just think it would be great if cabby organisations could became more part of a solution to the state of London traffic and air, rather than often being found protesting for the status quo.
there's an interesting piece about the electric cabs here (although it reads like an advertorial at times):
