Are there any Uber executives based in the UK? And good luck trying to

any criminal conviction on them.

Uber are a US company operating world wide

I see no reason why events in other countries should not be used as
representative of the whole operation (and I'm talking civilised countries,
not tin-pot dictatorships)

Who provided that anecdotal evidence? Was it from an official source, or
the black cab trade, which is losing out to Uber?

This isn't a company that takes its responsibilities seriously.

It's probably better than most cab firms. The reason that black cabs hate
Uber is that it's so popular with customers, not that it provides poor
customer service.

I didn't say that it provided poor customer service

The complaint is that it achieves cheaper fares, in part, by ignoring its
obligations to comply with regulations,

Just like Ryanair used to
