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?

There was a leaflet picture tweeted at

Some of it sounds reasonable - if true, which is a big if - but others...

Endangering Taxi drivers with irresponsible rear mounted card readers.

Huh? Wtf is dangerous about a card reader?

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

I bet thats the card companies skimming their commission and nothing to do
with TfL.

Harassing Taxi drivers, whilst condoning Private Hire illegalities.

Hmm, does have the vague sound of a whinge.
