    @blech More feasible, yeah… 3.5 million daily is 87 per driver which seems unlikely.

    @blech Do you have a citation? The Guardian called it 3.5m “daily users” in their editorial which sounds more than a little wrong…

    @andybudd Yeah if we start boycotting everywhere that’s not perfect we’ll all be knitting our own muesli.

    @andybudd The (or a) problem is London & UK govts doing so little about such precarious work for so long… now any problems have bigger consequences.

    @andybudd Like everything it’s more complicated than can be fitted into a tweet. So we could say nothing at all or demonstrate our broad feelings.

    @andybudd …so many people have had to get into debt and rely for work on a company that doesn’t actually employ them.

    @andybudd Don’t be daft. Of course I care about people losing their only means of support. It’s a shame this didn’t happen sooner, it’s a shame…

    @andybudd But Uber doesn’t have any workers! :)

  • philgyford’s avatar

    @andybudd Sure - Uber can abide by the regulations and they can carry on.

    Now 530,000 people who care more for their own convenience than the reasonable regulation of private companies. Ugh. twitter.com/petepaphides/s…

    It seems a little dispiriting that 400,000 have signed the petition for TFL to renege on their decision not to renew Uber's license. (1/13)
