The complaint is they claim minicabs are plying for hire around St
Pancras and KX.

More specifically, uninsured minicabs.

Wrong, that's not the complaint.

Private hire cars (aka minicabs) are not allowed to ply for hire on
the streets, only taxis can do that.

I'd suggest that you'll find very few, if any, TfL-licensed but
uninsured minicabs out on the street in London - being uninsured
means they'll lose their licence.

It's not like the good old bad old days when anyone could be a
minicab driver in London, when undoubtedly a fair few weren't
properly insured.

I can't speak for London but the hire car trade outside London has been
subject to licensing since the 1970s but licensed drivers regularly get
caught plying for hire illegally, her in Cambridge at least.
