Lots of noise and blocked traffic when I walked past yesterday in Southwark.
Anyone know what they're protesting about this week? Is it Uber, fares, or
they just don't like TfL in general?

sexual abuse.

minicab RTA.

Licensing drivers without passing basic DVLA test.

Endangering Taxi drivers with irresponsible rear mounted card readers.

Cutting Taxi earnings by up to five percent, on card transactions.

Condoning uninsured minicabs and inventing fictitious on-off insurance.

Fabricating evidence of Uber landline. in a failed bid to hoodwink
the GLA.

Guilty of tutoring Uber on how to evade regulations.

Unmonitored, 'out of office' liaisons and unminuted meetings with Uber.

Harassing Taxi drivers, whilst condoning Private Hire illegalities.
