Uber deserved to lose
its licence – Londoners’ safety must come first
Oh, please, Mr Sadiq Khan, you are just so insincere.
Opponents of Uber are cut from exactly the same cloth as the
Old Luddites. They even make similar arguments, as you do.
They oppose innovation which comes from new technology
because it works against the interests of the old ways of doing things.
New technology almost always cuts into old-style jobs and
old-style government administration programs. It's inevitable.
If you were a better mayor, you would have negotiated a
compromise arrangement which in one way or another allows both services to
operate, effectively giving people a choice of premium or bargain service.
