Boycott Addison Lee

Radio 2 Jeremy Vine talking about AL on his show.

Ta, 100,000 seems alot but am sure it's doable.

Back on topic, minicabs shouldn't be in the bus lanes.

4758 signatures so far, how many until something actually happens?

I'd suggest changing the petition's title to "Ban Addison Lee and bring the death penalty back, but mainly for gay immigrants pedophiles on Income Support who don't respect our armed forces".

Don't forget the gays and people on benefits.

As you wish.

Yeah!

Please specify "Poppy burners"... And post it on any BNP Addison Lee driver's wall... That would be an interesting conflict of interest.

Jeremy Vine Radio 2 NOW!

gonna give this a try. expect i will last <5minutes before rage ensues

Well that Jeremy Vine thing seemed to be a bit of a dud. Barely even got into the cycling issue. But at least it's being publicly discussed maybe?
Addison Lee guy seemed to be the usual arrogant car driver.

Normal tax planning is what all small businesses do and low and average income individuals do. Tax avoidance is something that only the very rich do (ie those who can most afford to pay lots of tax would rather pay an already rich accountant a lot of money to avoid paying the government a bit more).

Frankly I find this classist BS.

To suggest that the line between tax planning and avoidance is driven by how rich you are or the size of your company merely highlights the chip on your shoulder.

It seems to me that this Addison Lee fracas is a classic example of what Occupy London was trying to highlight.

along this vein, does any one read new scientist? they have done a number of features on the science behind richer people being less and less generous with their money. The science itself confirms the common sense that if your life is easy you have less compassion for peoples lives who are hard and therefore give less. It is terrible when you compare this to conservative policies of lower tax for the rich.

I need to learn how to make anigif's with sound, there's a epic one in here.

actually it is...

So what net income is the figure beyond which saving in a pension changes from being tax planning to EVIL tax avoidance?

£10k per annum?
£50k per annum?
£100k per annum?

Please show working...

Can you guys take this somewhere else? There must be a more appropriate thread for this. E.g. any question answered.

Is classist like hatred between school grade classes or someone who likes classy things?

was in notting hill last week and saw an addison lee car in a bus lane blocking the cyclist at some lights like he was enjoying it #dickheads

Just got back from a meeting and discovered an email from BBC Today program in my inbox.

Now either this is for today, in which case I missed it... or it's for tomorrow, in which case a call first thing is fine.

I suspect it was for today though, given the name of the program. Did they get in touch with anyone? Was anything on the show?

Was it Mentorn Media and the programme Driving Documentary

If so i know about it PM if you want to know more

Just seen Jeremy Hunt getting into a AL cab on Newsnight. That's a lot of evil in one people carrier sized space.

Randomly heard an interview with the geezer on R2 at lunchtime, they had a few decent arguments from various people (mostly black cab drivers) though didn't get all of it.
The more I hear about and from this guy, the more I have dislike him and his business practices.
