Presumably Ubers fake taxis are FUD too?

And lets not forget about their "surge" pricing, when black cabs and most
minicabs have a fixed rate.

And are you so naive to believe that if Uber did put all the black cabs
and minicabs out of business their prices would somehow remain low?

Uber is nothing more than another bunch of silicon valley slimeballs who move
in unregulated to make a fast buck, disrupting other operators in the process
who have to follow the law, THEN they comply with the law if they're forced to.
And you think this is a business model to admire?
