Just When You Thought It Couldn't Get Any More Stupid

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more stupid, and shortly after cashing out of China, Uber, the ride share app which claims not to employ any drivers and certainly don't own any cars.... they are again emailing their customers to lobby TfL on its behalf. 

This time the rant is supposedly about keeping London open for business after Brexit. 

Yet Uber London Ltd, UK are asking their customers to complain to TfL over TfL's new regulations and in particular the  requirement for prospective Minicab drivers to take an English test. A test tUber considers too difficult for its work force. 

This is the same test people take to become British Citizens.  

The reader of the email might also well wonder, how on earth this American tech giant can claim to have already invested £100m in London, considering it doesn’t actually own a fleet of cars and isn’t committed to employing its drivers???

If it is true, then that must be one hell of a very expensive office in E1.

Taxis (Black Cabs) are an iconic part of London that nobody wants to see removed and although they are the butt of many jokes about selfish driving, pulling up sharply for customers, stopping where they line, Londoners actually have a great deal of respect for anyone who has passed “the knowledge” to earn their badge. 

Nevertheless, if you can instantly hail a much cheaper ride (although illegal by definition), some people are going to be tempted.

Uber do far have had their own way as their oath to licensing was smoothed with backing coming from high office. 

TfL have bent over backwards to licence this company and currently, evidence of alleged corruption and malfeasance is surfacing daily. 

People of the UK voted to put a stop to the continued flood of cheap labour. 

In their email, Uber are talking about keeping London open for business after Brexit. But only the most stupid company imaginable would appeal to Londoners to encourage TfL to go easy on prospective Minicab drivers who can't speak a word of English???

This goes completely against what the country has just voted for. 

Unfortunately, people will still use this service in spite of the reported serious sexual assaults, rapes and account hacking, because it’s cheap and convenient.
