The Border force should take a trip down there and check the documents of
some of these drivers. I can guarantee they'll find some illegals and
overstayers driving MOT failure cars rescued from the scrap yard.

They might well find that of the minicab companies too. Uber is just a
minicab company. The thing the black cab companies are so concerned
about is that it's quite a big and well-organised one, unlike the
smaller ones that typify London. They are no doubt concerned about the
balance of power tipping towards that in the smaller provincial towns
and cities where the minicab is the usual thing people are talking
about when they talk about a "taxi", and black cabs are very few indeed.
