There is at least some form of poetic justice in the attack on Sony's Enfield warehouse. Many of the young rioters will have acquired their moral compass playing Grand Theft Auto and similar on Sony PlayStations. Michael Smith
It is high time TfL regulated rickshaws as happens in other European cities. Professional and insured pedicab drivers are asking for it but don't get a response from TfL. How can any industry operate correctly without regulation? Artur

The rickshawists have a point.
Responsible ones with insurance to protect their customers (and themselves, of course, but I doubt that many would be good for a judgment for £20k for serious injuries so the real protection is for customers) have to incur that overhead while their cycle-by-night rivals do not.
Provided the regulation they call for covers only matters that benefit and protect customers I see no problem - lets have MoTs for rickshaws, compulsory insurance and a requirement for a gin & tonic vending machine in every vehicle.
Beyond that we risk dabbling with the vice of restricting numbers by arbitrary diktat and the creation of a rent-seeking quasi-monopoly ala black cabs.
TFB - Irony, I sincerely hope?
L, I think (or at least hope) that the compulsory G&T vending machines was a hint.
hey, look, theres someone earning money, cutting
pollution and giving fun and guidance on it to lots of tourist...
Fuck that.
Gotta ban it so Ron the KKkabbie can charge 40 quid every two miles.
The mentality of thi
s cuntry is becoming beyond stifling.
